Trial summary

Bronchiectasis, defined by an increase in bronchial caliber and thickening of the bronchial wall, is associated with recurrent respiratory infections, chronic cough and bronchorrhea, and a frequent progression to chronic respiratory failure. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Etude génétique Des Dilatations Des Bronches Idiopathiques en Polynésie française

Bronchiectasis, defined by an increase in bronchial caliber and thickening of the bronchial wall, is associated with recurrent respiratory infections, chronic cough and bronchorrhea, and a frequent progression to chronic respiratory failure. Investigator distinguish focal bronchiectasis usually resulting from a localized cause and diffuse bronchiectasis which the possible causes are multiple (immune deficiencies, genetic diseases, auto immune pathologies, aspergillosis broncho -allergic lung, sequelae of pulmonary infections).The etiological assessment is negative in 26 to 53% of cases, defining the idiopathic bronchiectasis. However, the discovery of an underlying cause can change the patient's management (up to 37% of cases).

Despite the lack of epidemiological data in French Polynesia, Australian and New Zealand studies found a high prevalence of bronchiectasis in Polynesians. Few clinical studies published in the early 1980s suggested a ciliary origin.

Due to its geographic characteristics, the Polynesian population constitutes an interesting ethnic group. Indeed, there is a low genetic mixing and the prevalence of certain genetic diseases like the syndrome of Alport or some hereditary retinal dystrophies are high. This type of population is very suitable for discovering new genes in human pathology.

Investigator decided to conduct an observational study to find an underlying genetic cause of bronchiectasis in Polynesians by performing a whole exome sequencing. Investigator chose to study index cases defined by an upset of symptoms during the childhood, a family history of idiopathic bronchiectasis, and/or a consanguinity. Investigator also want to study healthy first degree relatives, in order to be able to better identify the clinical significant of DNA variants and focus the analysis on those that may be pathogenic

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Idiopathic Bronchiectasis, run by Centre Hospitalier Intercommunal Creteil at 1 site in French Polynesia.

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 6 inclusion and 7 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 14 Aug 2024. 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 French Polynesia. 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?

identification of genetic mutation (time frame: Anytime in the period of 10 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 14 Aug 2024.
