About this study

Official title: Transcriptome Analysis Through a Dedicated Macro-array and TcLandscape Repertoire Analysis for Diagnosis of Myositis.

The diagnosis of the different forms of inflammatory myopathies (polymyositis, dermatomyositis, inclusion-body myositis...) remains difficult which may lead to unappropriate patient care.

Objective 1 : to develop and evaluate the diagnostic value of a dedicated DNA-array (myoARRAY) for adult-onset muscular diseases with focus on inflammatory myopathies.

Objective 2 : to evaluate the diagnostic value of T cell repertoire (TcLand) analysis to distinguish different forms of inflammatory myopathies.

Being tested
transcriptome analysis, T cell repertoire analysis
Keywords
myositis, cDNA arrays, Genes, T-Cell Receptor beta
Medical subject headings
Polymyositis, Dermatomyositis, Myositis

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing transcriptome analysis and T cell repertoire analysis in people with Polymyositis and Dermatomyositis, run by University Hospital, Rouen 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 2 inclusion and 2 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Feb 2012. 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?

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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

transcriptome (time frame: at inclusion). 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 16 Feb 2012.
