About this study

Official title: Institutional Registries of Rare Diseases at Hospital Italiano de Buenos Aires (HIBA)

The goal of this observational study is to create a single macro registry system with data collection on common clinical features, grouping the different rare diseases (RD).

Moreover, the specific goals are to generate an alert system for possible cases of RD with data from the electronic medical record, to describe the occurrence of RD in the evaluated population, to characterize the population, to describe patterns of diagnosis and treatment of RD present at the time, and to explore patient-reported outcomes.

Read the detailed description

Rare Diseases (RD) pose a health challenge due to their complexity and low prevalence, generating a burden in terms of morbidity and mortality and costs.

The fragmentation of data on these diseases makes it difficult to understand them comprehensively. Therefore, the creation of a macro institutional registry that brings together information on RD would facilitate research in this field.

The registries are organized systems of systematic data collection of a large number of patients quickly and efficiently on a particular disease at a given time.

The main difficulty of the registries is the guarantee of the quality of their data.

The main objectives of the registry are:

Understand risk factors and prognosis. Evaluate the diagnostic and therapeutic comparison with current standards. Advance knowledge of the disease to optimize the assessment, treatment and monitoring of patients.

Analyze the effectiveness of new therapies. Studying differences between populations. Quickly estimate the morbidity, mortality and resource utilization associated with a disease entity.

Examine the course of a disease Formulate novel hypotheses for further prospective studies.

What is being measured

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

  1. Overall Survival Rate

    The overall survival rate will be assessed by calculating the time from the date of enrollment/diagnosis until the date of death from any cause or date of last follow up.

    Measured: From date of enrollment/ diagnosis until the date of death/ last follow up, assessed up to 5 years.

  2. Mortality Rate

    The mortality rate will be determined by the number of participants who die from any cause during the study period. The data will be reported as the percentage of participants who die within the specified time frame.

    Measured: From date of enrollment/ diagnosis until the date of death, assessed up to 5 years.

  3. Time to First Treatment

    The time to first treatment will be measured from the date of diagnosis until the initiation of the first therapeutic intervention. The data will be summarized as the median time in weeks.

    Measured: From date of diagnosis until the initiation of first treatment, assessed up to 12 months.

  4. Demographic and Epidemiologic Profile

    Demographic and epidemiologic characteristics, including age, gender, ethnicity, and geographic location, will be described for all participants. The data will be summarized using descriptive statistics.

    Measured: At baseline, assessed at the time of enrollment.

  5. Clinical Characteristics and Disease Progression

    Clinical characteristics, including disease stage, comorbidities, and symptoms, will be documented for each participant. Disease progression will be monitored and reported using standardized criteria for each illness.

    Measured: From date of enrollment until the end of the study, assessed up to 5 years.

  6. Treatment Modalities Received

    Types of treatments received, including medication, surgery, and other therapeutic interventions, will be recorded for each participant. Data will be categorized by treatment type.

    Measured: From the initiation of first treatment until the last recorded intervention, assessed up to 5 years.

  7. Treatment Response

    Response to treatment will be evaluated using standardized response criteria for each illness. The data will be reported as the percentage of participants achieving partial or complete response.

    Measured: From the initiation of treatment until documented disease progression or treatment cessation, assessed up to 5 years.

  8. Incidence of Treatment-Related Adverse Events

    The incidence of treatment-related adverse events will be recorded and graded according to CTCAE version 5.0. The data will be reported as the number of participants experiencing adverse events by grade.

    Measured: From the initiation of treatment until 12 months after the last dose, assessed up to 5 years.

Individual data sharing
Undecided: There is a plan to make individual participant data (IPD) available to other researchers by contacting the IP (María Lourdes Posadas Martínez, Soledad Kleppe, Marcelo Martín Serra) with a letter of intent on the protocol to be carried out. If you agree, the protocol will be presented to the ethics committee and work will be carried out in accordance with current regulations.
