Trial summary

Alport syndrome (AS) is caused by pathogenic variants in the type IV collagen genes COL4A3, COL4A4, and COL4A5. This study aims to enroll families and patients with a history of renal hematuria in 27 hospitals and detect these three genes for AS screening. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Association Analysis Between Variants of COL4A3/COL4A4/COL4A5 and Alport Syndrome in the Han Chinese Population

Alport syndrome (AS) is caused by pathogenic variants in the type IV collagen genes COL4A3, COL4A4, and COL4A5. This study aims to enroll families and patients with a history of renal hematuria in 27 hospitals and detect these three genes for AS screening. This study also aims to analysis the effect of COL4A3/COL4A4/COL4A5 genotype on the development of kidney disease.

Read the detailed description

Alport syndrome (AS) is a genetically and phenotypically heterogeneous disorder caused by the mutations in the type IV collagen genes COL4A3, COL4A4, and COL4A5. In this study, next generation sequencing is used to screen AS on 8165 participants enrolled from families and patients with a history of renal hematuria in 27 hospitals of China Huadong Region. Genotype (variants in COL4A3/COL4A4/COL4A5)-phenotype (onset age of hearing loss, nephroticrange proteinuria, decline of eGFR, kidney survival and onset age of CKD5) correlations in AS were evaluated.

What is being measured

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

  1. Identification COL4A3/COL4A4/COL4A5 variants of Alport Syndrome

    To characterize the variants of COL4A3/COL4A4/COL4A5 in patients with Alport syndrome over the course of up to 240 weeks

    Measured: Up to 240 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Identification genotype-phenotype correlations of Alport Syndrome

    Exploring correlations between variants of COL4A3/COL4A4/COL4A5 and the clinical robustness including onset age of hearing loss, nephroticrange proteinuria, decline of eGFR, kidney survival and onset age of CKD5 in Alport syndrome patients

    Measured: Up to 240 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Alport Syndrome, run by Xinhua Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine 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 4 inclusion and 3 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 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 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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?

Identification COL4A3/COL4A4/COL4A5 variants of Alport Syndrome (time frame: Up to 240 weeks). 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 1 Jul 2021.
