Trial summary

Infant lead poisoning is the clinical expression of lead poisoning. This environmental disease, still present in France, is the only notifiable non-infectious disease. Its complications include, in the foreground, disorders of psychomotor development but also include in adults the attack of other systems. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Effectiveness of Various Environmental Measures to Eliminate the Risks of Lead Exposure in Infant Lead Poisoning

Infant lead poisoning is the clinical expression of lead poisoning. This environmental disease, still present in France, is the only notifiable non-infectious disease.

Its complications include, in the foreground, disorders of psychomotor development but also include in adults the attack of other systems.

Read more

The fight against lead poisoning mainly involves the removal of lead sources. Several methods of eviction exist: a modification of the practices, a palliative rehabilitation, a definitive rehabilitation and a relocation. The effectiveness of each method is not documented. This study therefore aims to compare the effectiveness of these various measures to eliminate the risk of exposure to lead on blood lead.

This study uses the methodology of a multicenter historical cohort. It will begin in the second quarter of 2017. The research centers will be child-environment consultations and mother-child PASS in Avignon, Manosque, Marseille, Nice and Toulon.

The study will be offered to all children monitored in these centers since 2011. The inclusion criteria will include: age <18 years, at least one blood lead ≥ 50μg.L-1, residence declared in PACA and absence opposition. The retrospective data will be incorporated into the prospective monitoring. The necessary number is at least 165 cases of infantile lead poisoning (of which 33 per type of intervention). The primary endpoint will be the kinetics of quarterly venous blood lead. The smallest clinically significant difference in blood lead levels will be 50μg.L-1 between the different groups.

Statistical analysis will use intra- and inter-individual variability analysis by compartmental modeling of the pharmacokinetics of blood lead. An interim analysis will be conducted in 2017 on the retrospective data to confirm the necessary staffing.

Infant lead poisoning is the clinical expression of lead poisoning. This environmental disease, still present in France, is the only notifiable non-infectious disease.

Its complications include, in the foreground, disorders of psychomotor development (behavioral disorders, attention, memory ...) but also include in adults the attack of other systems (kidney disorders, fertility disorders and complications). obstetric).

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. venous blood lead

    the kinetics of venous blood lead. The monitoring rhythm is recommended every 3 months in a medical analysis laboratory. The smallest clinically significant difference will be a decrease in blood lead level of 50 μg / l.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Poisoning, run by Assistance Publique Hopitaux De Marseille at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Aug 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact REMI LAPORTE, MD (+33 491368813, RemiJulien.LAPORTE@ap-hm.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

venous blood lead (time frame: 3 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 21 Aug 2018.
