Trial summary

Infraorbital nerve enlargement (IONE) on magnetic resonance imaging is known to be a possible consequence of IgG4-related ophthalmic disease. However this imaging sign can also be found in other conditions causing orbital inflammation. Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: All adult patients suffering from non-thyroid, non-lymphoma related orbital inflammation treated in Fondation Rothschild (tertiary ophtalmology facility, Paris, France) from January 2006 through April 2015.

Who may be able to join

  • Patient aged 18 and older treated in Fondation Rothschild (tertiary ophthalmology facility, Paris, France) from January 2006 through April 2015
  • Presence of a clinical orbital inflammation: mass/swelling, pain, exophthalmos, visual loss, ptosis, or diplopia.
  • The presence of at least one pretherapeutic MRI confirming the inflammation of one or more orbital structures: the lacrimal gland, fat, muscles, or infraorbital nerve. The mandatory minimal MRI protocol include the following sequences: T1- and T2-weighted MRI image, in the transverse and coronal plane, and a fat-suppressed T1-weighted image in the coronal plane obtained after intravenous administration of a gadolinium chelate.
  • Completion of at least one orbital biopsy with a pathologic examination and an immunohistochemical screen for IgG4.

Who cannot join

  • Clinical and biological signs of thyroid-associated orbitopathy
  • Histologically proven lymphoma
  • Pretherapeutic MRI that is insufficient for an adequate interpretation
  • Absence of IgG4 testing in the pathology examination

About this study

Official title: Infraorbital Nerve Involvement on Magnetic Resonance Imaging in European Patients With IgG4-related Ophthalmic Disease

Infraorbital nerve enlargement (IONE) on magnetic resonance imaging is known to be a possible consequence of IgG4-related ophthalmic disease. However this imaging sign can also be found in other conditions causing orbital inflammation. This study aims at comparing the frequency of IONE in patients suffering from IgG4-related ophthalmic disease (IgG4-ROD) versus patients suffering from non-IgG4-related ophthalmic disease (non-IgG4-ROD)

Being tested
no intervention (descriptive study)

What is being measured

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

  1. Proportion of patients with infraorbital nerve involvement in magnetic resonance imaging

    Measured: Within 2 weeks after the first consultation for orbital inflammation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of IgG4-related Disease and Orbital Infections, Inflammations and Irritations, run by Fondation Ophtalmologique Adolphe de Rothschild 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 4 inclusion and 4 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Oct 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Proportion of patients with infraorbital nerve involvement in magnetic resonance imaging (time frame: Within 2 weeks after the first consultation for orbital inflammation). 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 1 Oct 2018.
