Trial summary

PTH secretion defects (grouped under the name hypoparathyroidism) are due to abnormalities in the PTH gene, abnormalities in the development of the parathyroid glands which synthesize PTH or abnormalities of the calcium sening receptor whose role is to adapt PTH level to ambient calcium level.

About this study

Official title: Autotaxin in Patients With GNAS/PTH Abnormalities

PTH secretion defects (grouped under the name hypoparathyroidism) are due to abnormalities in the PTH gene, abnormalities in the development of the parathyroid glands which synthesize PTH or abnormalities of the calcium sening receptor whose role is to adapt PTH level to ambient calcium level.

In contrast, primary hyperparathyroidism in children is also exceptional; expressed by hypercalcemia, with a renal and bon risk.

Pseudo-hypoparathyroidism, now known under the term inactivating PTH / PTHrP Signaling Disorder or iPPSD, are rare pathologies characterized by resistance to the action of PTH sometimes associated with other symptoms, in particular chondrodysplasia. They are linked to a defect in the action of a factor in the signaling pathway of G protein-coupled receptors that activate the production of cyclic AMP (cAMP). IPPSDs are most often due to a molecular defect in the GNAS gene, subject to parental imprint.

Fibrous dysplasia / McCune-Albright syndrome is a rare disease caused by somatic "gain-of-function" mutations in the GNAS gene located on chromosome 20q13 leading to activation of the protein Gαs and inappropriate production of intracellular cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP). The clinical phenotype is determined by the location and extent of the tissues affected by this mutation.

Autotaxin (ATX) is a protein secreted by different tissues including the liver, fatty tissue, and bone. Today, ATX is described as the major source of LPA in the bloodstream. LPA interacts with one of its receptors on the surface of the cell membrane. Depending on the receptor engaged, one or more Gα subunits (G12 / 13, GQ, Gi / o or Gs) will activate multiple cell signaling pathways.

In bone, ATX is expressed by osteoclasts and osteoblasts. Recent laboratory data have shown that PTH stimulates ATX expression in osteoblasts in a dose-dependent manner.

The objective of this study is to provide clinical proof of concept that the PTH / Gαs / ATX pathway is truly significant in physiology and pathology, by studying the full spectrum of PTH and GNAS pathologies. If this proof of concept is obtained, therapeutic applications will probably be possible in the long term.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Fibrous Dysplasia and Albright Syndrome, run by Hospices Civils de Lyon at 3 sites 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 8 inclusion and 6 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 24 Mar 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites 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?

Concentration of circulating autotaxin (time frame: At inclusion). 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 24 Mar 2023.
