About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Capillary Blood Collection Devices (Mitra® and HemaPEN®) in the Context of Metabolic Diseases and, in Particular, Pediatric Monitoring of Phenylketonuria

The aim is to demonstrate a new application for a blood collection device. This device is already widely used in pharmacology. It is not currently used for metabolic diseases.

Its ease of use enables repeated sampling at home. What's more, the device can be sent by post, making it ideally suited to the needs of this cohort of children, whose phenylalanine levels need to be monitored very regularly.

Being tested
DM-DIV MITRA®
Medical subject headings
Phenylketonurias, Metabolic Diseases

What participants receive

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

  • DM-DIV MITRA®Diagnostic test

    Also called DM-DIV HemaPEN®

    Comparison of phenylalanine concentrations in the new device with those in the current device (blotter).

What is being measured

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

  1. Comparison of phenylalanine concentrations

    Comparison of phenylalanine concentrations in the new device with those in the current device (blotter).

    Measured: Day 1

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Ease of use of research device

    ease of use of DM-DIV MITRA® and DM-DIV HemaPEN® via a 3 questions-and-answer guide for samplers

    Measured: Day 1

  2. sample conformity

    Conformity of blood sample on DM-DIV MITRA® and DM-DIV HemaPEN® versus DM-DIV Perkin Elmer

    Measured: Day 1

  3. comparison of concentrations of tyrosin

    comparison of concentrations of other amino acids (tyrosin) dosed at the same time as phenylalanine

    Measured: Day 1

  4. comparison of concentrations of total leucin

    comparison of concentrations of other amino acids (total leucin) dosed at the same time as phenylalanine

    Measured: Day 1

  5. comparison of concentrations of methionin

    comparison of concentrations of other amino acids (methionin) dosed at the same time as phenylalanine

    Measured: Day 1

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Phenylketonuria and Metabolic Diseases, run by University Hospital, Grenoble at 1 site 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 5 inclusion and 1 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 22 Dec 2023. 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 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Christelle CORNE, MD (04 76 76 92 32 ext. +33, CCorne@chu-grenoble.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Comparison of phenylalanine concentrations (time frame: Day 1). 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 22 Dec 2023.
