About this study

This study is to find out the association between gut microbiota and moyamoya disease.

Read the detailed description

Moyamoya disease (MMD) is a rare cerebrovascular disorder, it is a major cause of stroke in children and young adults in Japan, Korea, and China, but its pathogenesis is not yet clear. Dysbiosis of gut microbiota may play a role in the pathological change of MMD. In this research, the investigators would perform metagenomic sequencing to find the characteristics of gut microbiota of MMD and to explore the correlations with metabolic, immune, and clinical symptoms. This research will not only help the understanding of the pathophysiology of MMD, but also may provide a reference for the selection of clinical treatment options.

Healthy control groupAge and sex matched subjects will be invited to join the study as the control.

What is being measured

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

  1. Diversity analysis of genes and species between MMD patients and the control group

    Based on the gene and species composition of each sample, the Chao1 and Shannon indexes, as well as the observed OTUs (operational taxonomic units), will be calculated in order to identify the differences in gene and species diversity for each group.

    Measured: Through study completion,eight months.

  2. Analysis of differences in intestinal microbiota between MMD patients and the control group

    The Spearman correlation coefficient between genes will be calculated, and genes with strong correlation will be grouped into one cluster, as a CAG. The abundance of CAGs in each sample will be determined Furthermore, the significantly enriched species in the control and MMD groups will be enumerated for network display.

    Measured: Through study completion,eight months.

  3. Analysis of functional differences in the intestinal microbiota of MMD patients in comparison to the control group

    The LEfSe discriminant analysis will be used to screen for significant differences between groups. The dimensionality reduction will be implemented by LDA, and the impact of function difference will be evaluated to obtain the LDA score and identify significantly different functions between groups.

    Measured: Through study completion,eight months.

  4. Analysis of metabolites of the intestinal microbiota of MMD patients in comparison to the control group

    Metabolites of the intestinal microbiota between two groups

    Measured: Through study completion,eight months.

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Correlation analysis between gut microbiota in MMD patients and inflammatory cytokines.

    IL-4,IL-10,IL-13, IFN-α, TGF-β, IL-1,IL-6, IL-17, IFN-β, IFN-γ and TNF-α

    Measured: Through study completion,eight months.

  2. Correlation analysis between gut microbiota in MMD patients and neuroimaging markers and cognitive status.

    MRI: BOLD, DWI, QSM, CUBE, ASL, T1, T2; Cognitive status: Wisdom, Attention, Memory, Linguistic fluency;

    Measured: Through study completion,eight months.

  3. The differences of composition of gut microbiota among the genotypes (RNF213 p.R4810K)

    RNF213 p.R4810K

    Measured: Through study completion,eight months.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Moyamoya Disease and Gut Microbiota, run by Beijing Tiantan 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 3 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 May 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 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.

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 Dong Zhang, MD (13801121292, zhangdong0660@aliyun.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Diversity analysis of genes and species between MMD patients and the control group (time frame: Through study completion,eight months.). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 18 May 2021.
