About this study

To identify sarcoidosis susceptibility genes and to determine how these genes and environmental risk factors interact to cause sarcoidosis.

Read the detailed description

BACKGROUND:

Sarcoidosis is a rare systemic granulomatous disease that mainly affects young to middle aged adults, and more severely affects African Americans than Caucasians. The etiology of sarcoidosis is not yet known, and epidemiological studies have only identified general risk factors including age, sex, race, and family history. Sarcoidosis may also be influenced by environmental factors, although the particular environmental agents have not yet been clearly defined. While previous studies have provided evidence for familial clustering, little is known about the genes that influence predisposition to sarcoidosis.

DESIGN NARRATIVE:

This is a multicenter consortium genetic epidemiology study. The investigators will accomplish their goal by organizing a 10-site multi-center consortium to recruit an adequate sample of sarcoidosis families for analysis. They plan to use the affected sibling pair linkage analysis to scan the genome for linked chromosomal regions, transmission disequilibrium testing to evaluate candidate genes in those regions with evidence for linkage, and an environmental questionnaire to collect data to test for possible interactions of susceptibility genes with exogenous risk factors. Genotyping and analysis of data are scheduled to begin in July, 2001 with completion of all analysis by April, 2004.

The study consists of a Clinical Core, a Data Coordinating Core, and a Genetics Core with a DNA Processing Center and a Genotyping Center. Eight of the ten clinical centers comprising the Clinical Core are members of the ACCESS, A Case Control Etiology of Sarcoidosis Study.

The study completion date listed in this record was obtained from the "End Date" entered in the Protocol Registration and Results System (PRS) record.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lung Diseases and Sarcoidosis, run by National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI).

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Feb 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00005542, which also lists 3 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 18 Feb 2016.
