Trial summary

Inherited bone marrow failure syndromes (IBMFSs) are a diverse collection of genetic illnesses characterized by various degrees of peripheral cytopenias due to defective single-lineage or multi-lineage hematopoiesis, it can manifest itself at birth or later in life. Read more about this study

  • Ages Any age
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Study population: The candidate patients who will have evidence of unclassifiable IBMFSs and/or will present with manifestations suggesting IBMFSs and agree to comply with follow-up instructions will be screened for enrollment in this study.

Who may be able to join

  • Confirmed a two-generational family with IBMFSs presented with signs and symptoms of bone fragility fractures and admitted or treated in Hematology Division at Internal Medicine Departments of various university hospitals will be screened for enrollment in this study.
  • The investigators will invite the entire family for testing for IBMFSs mutations, and three additional family members consented to participate in this study.

About this study

Official title: Identification of The Novel Mutations and A Comprehensive Analysis of The Phenotype and Genetic Etiology Underlying Unclassifiable Inherited Bone Marrow Failure Syndromes With Bone Fragility Fractures

Inherited bone marrow failure syndromes (IBMFSs) are a diverse collection of genetic illnesses characterized by various degrees of peripheral cytopenias due to defective single-lineage or multi-lineage hematopoiesis, it can manifest itself at birth or later in life.

Read the detailed description

Studying the genetic etiology underlying unclassifiable IBMFSs with bone fragility fractures should be useful for clarifying the undiagnosed pathophysiological mechanisms and other accessory factors to improve the diagnosis, follow-up, prognosis, and management of these patients as well as prevent future complications.

Moreover, early diagnosis of risk factors of unusual presentations of IBMFSs will be a useful tool for better treatment strategy.

In addition, along with typical IBMFSs, novel clinical entities must be included in an overall molecular portrait of IBMF disorders. As a result, comprehensive genetic analysis will be effective in establishing an accurate genetic diagnosis at medical evaluation.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • The whole-exome sequencingGenetic

    Also called Radiologic assessment, Histopathological studies of BM biopsies, • Chromosomal fragility testing

    Exome sequencing will be performed at the Division of Hematopoietic Disease Control, The Institute of Medical Science, The University of Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan and will be analyzed at Institute for the Advanced Study of Human Biology (WPI-ASHBi), Kyoto University, Japan.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants with Progression of pancytopenia

    Progression of pancytopenia severity

    Measured: Two year after diagnosis

  2. Number of Participants with Fragility Fractures

    occurrence of the Fragility Fractures

    Measured: Two year after diagnosis

  3. Number of Participants with Malignancy transformation

    Occurrence of hematological or solid malignancy

    Measured: Two year after diagnosis

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Inherited BMF Syndrome, run by Sohag University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Jul 2022. 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 Egypt. 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?

Contact Mahmoud I Elbadry, PhD (+201065964083, mahmoudibrahem837@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of Participants with Progression of pancytopenia (time frame: Two year after diagnosis). The study lists 3 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 NCT05436587, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 2022.
