Trial summary

Bone-related problems represent the principal unmet medical need in Gaucher disease (GD). 75% of GD type 1 patients develop skeletal complications, including bone remodeling defects, osteopenia, osteoporosis, marrow infiltration, avascular necrosis, and osteolysis. Read more about this study

About this study

Bone-related problems represent the principal unmet medical need in Gaucher disease (GD). 75% of GD type 1 patients develop skeletal complications, including bone remodeling defects, osteopenia, osteoporosis, marrow infiltration, avascular necrosis, and osteolysis. However, the underlying cellular/molecular basis of bone involvement and related complications in GD are not fully known. Neither are there any bone-specific markers associated with individual bone pathology. Early diagnosis of bone disease is the key issue for planning individual therapy to prevent and reverse bone disease in GD.

Read the detailed description

This clinical observational study is designed to identify specific biomarkers for bone involvement in patients with GD1 with decreased bone density and/or bone structural abnormalities

Aims:

  1. Identify novel immune cell surface and biochemical markers in peripheral blood correlating with bone involvement in GD.
  2. Assess the correlation between cytokine levels in peripheral blood and the severity of bone involvement in GD.
  3. Assess the relationship between glycosphingolipids accumulation and macrophage activation with specific bone markers and GD severity.

What is being measured

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

  1. Measure biomarkers level in molar/l/h

    Bone homeostasis is dependent on the balance of deposition by osteoblasts

    DMP-1, OSCAR, Calcitonin, Lyso-GB1, chitotriosidase, CCL18, osteocalcin, BALP, cathepsin K , TRAP 5, RANKL, OPG, DDK-1, sclerostin, MCP1, IL-2, IL-6, IL-10, SRTH2 and TNF-α

    Measured: 18 months

  2. Measure biomarkers level: molar/mg/h

    DMP-1, RANK, OSCAR, cathepsin K, OPG

    Measured: 18 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Gaucher Disease Type 1, run by Lysosomal and Rare Disorders Research and Treatment Center, Inc. at 1 site in United States.

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 7 inclusion and 1 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 15 Aug 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 United States. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Jacqueline Fikry (571-732-4575, jfikry@ldrtc.org), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Measure biomarkers level in molar/l/h (time frame: 18 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04055831, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 15 Aug 2019.
