About this study

Official title: Efficacy and Safety of Tranilast in Patients With Cryopyrin-Associated Periodic Syndrome (CAPS): A Single-Arm Prospective Cohort Study

This is a prospective cohort study to observe the efficacy and safety of tranilast in CAPS patients. The investigators would analyze the changes in Auto-Inflammatory Diseases Activity Index (AIDAI) before and after treatment as well as changes in inflammatory markers, patients' and physician's global assessment of disease activity to determine the efficacy and safety of tranilast.

Read the detailed description

Seventy-one patients with CAPS will be recruited. After signing the informed consent, they will be administrated with tranilast (For juvenile patients, 5mg/kg.d with a maximum dose of 0.3g per day; For adult patients, the dose is 0.1g each time, three times a day). These patients will be followed up for 6 months. AIDAI is recorded by patients' or their parents one month before the start of treatment, and at the 1st, 3rd and 6th month after the treatment. Inflammatory markers, and patients' and physician's global assessment of disease activity will be assessed during the 1st, 3rd and 6th month follow-up. Side effects will be monitored and recorded as well. Experimental data before and after the administration of tranilast will be analyzed and be statistically processed, to figure out whether tranilast is effective and safe for CAPS patients.

What is being measured

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

  1. Changes in Auto-Inflammatory Diseases Activity Index score after 6-month treatment over baseline

    Patients or their parents completed a 1-month (31 days) prospective diary with 12 yes/no items( Fever ≥38°C, Overall symptoms, Abdominal pain, Nausea/vomiting, Diarrhoea, Headaches, Chest pain, Painful nodes, Arthralgia or myalgia, Swelling of the joints, Eye manifestations, Skin rash) at the previous 1 month before treatment, and the 6th month after treatment . Each item of this diary was dichotomised as no (0)=absence of symptom or yes (1)=presence of symptom. The calculation of the Auto-Inflammatory Diseases Activity Index score is straightforward, consisting of the sum of all 12 items (0-372 in a month of 31 days). Higher values represent higher disease activity.

    Measured: The previous 1 month before treatment and the 6th month after treatment

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Changes in Auto-Inflammatory Diseases Activity Index score at the 1st and 3rd month over baseline

    Patients or their parents completed a 1-month (31 days) prospective diary with 12 yes/no items( Fever ≥38°C, Overall symptoms, Abdominal pain, Nausea/vomiting, Diarrhoea, Headaches, Chest pain, Painful nodes, Arthralgia or myalgia, Swelling of the joints, Eye manifestations, Skin rash) at the previous 1 month before treatment, and the 1st and 3rd month after treatment . Each item of this diary was dichotomised as no (0)=absence of symptom or yes (1)=presence of symptom. The calculation of the Auto-Inflammatory Diseases Activity Index score is straightforward, consisting of the sum of all 12 items (0-372 in a month of 31 days). Higher values represent higher disease activity.

    Measured: The previous 1 month before treatment and the 1st and 3rd month after treatment

  2. Changes in inflammatory markers, including C-reactin protein, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, serum amyloid protein, interleukin-1β and interleukin-18, at 1, 3 and 6 months over baseline

    C-reactin protein, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, serum amyloid protein, interleukin-1β and interleukin-18 are measured at baseline,1, 3 and 6 months after treatment.

    Measured: Baseline and at 1, 3 and 6 months after treatment

  3. Changes in physician global assessment of disease activity on a 0-10 visual analog scale (VAS) at 1, 3 and 6 months over baseline

    Visual analogue scale (VAS) for overall disease activity were completed by the physician at each visit (Baseline and 1, 3 and 6 months after treatment).

    Measured: Baseline and 1, 3 and 6 months after treatment

  4. Changes in parent/patient global assessment of well-being on a 0-10 visual analogue score (VAS) at 1, 3 and 6 months over baseline

    Visual analogue scale (VAS) for overall disease activity were completed by the parent/patient at each visit (Baseline and 1, 3 and 6 months after treatment).

    Measured: Baseline and 1, 3 and 6 months after treatment

  5. Changes in CSF white blood cell count for CINCA patients

    For CINCA patients, Lumbar punctures (LPs) were performed at baseline and 6 months after treatment.

    Measured: Baseline and 6 months after treatment.

  6. Changes in MRI of the brain and inner ear for CINCA patients

    For CINCA patients, MRIs with gadoliniumenhanced fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) sequences of the brain and inner ear were performed and scored at baseline and 6 months after treatment.

    Measured: Baseline and 6 months after treatment.

  7. Changes in audiology data for CINCA patients

    For CINCA patients, Hearing assessment included audiological evaluations. Outcomes in each ear were categorised as 'stable' or 'worsened', according to a modification of the American Speech and Hearing Association (ASHA) criteria, comparing the results at 6 months after treatment over baseline.

    Measured: Baseline and 6 months after treatment.

  8. Number of participants with adverse effect

    Treatment-related adverse effect, including abnormal liver function, hematuria and decreased white blood cells

    Measured: Up to 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Tranilast in people with Cryopyrin-Associated Periodic Syndromes, run by Peking Union Medical College Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 9 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Jun 2019. 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 China. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Hongmei Song, Doctor (+86-10-69156271, songhm1021@hotmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Changes in Auto-Inflammatory Diseases Activity Index score after 6-month treatment over baseline (time frame: The previous 1 month before treatment and the 6th month after treatment). 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 4 Jun 2019.
