About this study

Official title: The Neuromuscular and Multisystem Features of RYR1-related Malignant Hyperthermia and Rhabdomyolysis - a Study Protocol

Rationale: Malignant hyperthermia and rhabdomyolysis are phenotypes that have long been considered to occur only in response to external stimuli (trigger anaesthesia and physical exhaustion) show several features of a continuous disease manifestation. Previous studies showed prolonged bleeding time after injury, selective immunological advantages, axial muscle weakness and several social difficulties. A detailed study of the neuromuscular and multisystem features of patients with RYR1-related malignant hyperthermia or rhabdomyolysis is needed to provide clarification about the continuous and multisystem disease manifestations in these patients.

Objective:

Primary Objective: There are three primary objectives in this study.

  1. To investigate the neuromuscular involvement of RYR1 related MH and rhabdomyolysis.
  2. To investigate the immunological changes in subjects with RYR1 related MH and rhabdomyolysis.
  3. To identify multisystem features of RYR1 related MH and rhabdomyolysis.

There are no secondary objectives.

Study design: The design of the study will be a clinical, open, observational study. The study consists of three parts; a clinical, imaging and immunological part.

Study population: Patients with a history of malignant hyperthermia susceptibility (MHS), and/or a history of rhabdomyolysis related to a variant in RYR1.

Intervention (if applicable): Not applicable.

Main study parameters/endpoints: The study consists of three parts. Each part has it's own main study parameters

  1. Clinical part: the results of the questionnaire study compared to standardizes normal values and the results of the comprehensive clinical assessment.
  2. Imaging part: fatty infiltration and hypertrophy of proximal and axial muscles.
  3. Immunological part: circulating and leukocyte released anti- and pro-inflammatory cytokine levels compared to healthy age and sex matched controls.

What is being measured

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

  1. To investigate the neuromuscular involvement of RYR1 related MH and rhabdomyolysis

    All subjects will have a total body muscle MRI and muscle ultra sound once

    Measured: Directly after inclusion, a muscle MRI's and ultra sounds will be made of all subjects.

  2. To investigate the multisystem features of RYR1 related MH and rhabdomyolysis

    All subject will fulfil a questionnaire study, it will focus on pain, activity and psychological aspects.

    Measured: Directly after inclusion, subjects will fulfil a questionnaire study.

  3. To investigate the multisystem features of RYR1 related MH and rhabdomyolysis

    All subject will fulfil a questionnaire study, it will focus on pain, activity and psychological aspects.

    Measured: Six months after inclusion, subjects will fulfil a questionnaire study.

  4. To investigate the multisystem features of RYR1 related MH and rhabdomyolysis

    All subject will fulfil a questionnaire study, it will focus on pain, activity and psychological aspects.

    Measured: Twelve months after inclusion, subjects will fulfil a questionnaire study.

  5. To investigate the immunological changes in subjects with RYR1 related MH and rhabdomyolysis.

    Peripheral mononuclear blood cells will be isolated and in vitro challenged using pathogens and stimulatia. The results of this part of the study will be compared to healthy controls.

    Measured: Directly after inclusion blood samples will be taken for immunological studies.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Malignant Hyperthermia and Rhabdomyolysis, run by Radboud University Medical Center at 1 site in Netherlands.

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 2 inclusion and 22 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 28 Jul 2021. 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 Netherlands. 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?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To investigate the neuromuscular involvement of RYR1 related MH and rhabdomyolysis (time frame: Directly after inclusion, a muscle MRI's and ultra sounds will be made of all subjects.). The study lists 5 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 NCT04610619, 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 28 Jul 2021.
