Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if there are genes that are common in children with infantile hemangioma. This information will allow physicians to improve care for patients who have been diagnosed with this disease and to provide their parents with more complete information regarding the cause of this… Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages Any age
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Study population: Clinics from Children's Hospital of Wisconsin.

Study Population Inclusion Criteria:

  • No limit to age
  • Diagnosis of infantile hemangioma and/or vascular anomaly
  • Unaffected twin sibling
  • Each patient's authorized legal guardian must understand the nature of the study and must provide written informed consent. Each patient must also give assent to study participation.

Study Population Exclusion Criteria:

  • Diagnosis other than infantile hemangioma or vascular anomaly
  • If the lesion has resolved and cannot be confirmed as a hemangioma by clinical exam
  • If the biologic parents are unwilling or unable to submit DNA samples the child will be excluded from the DNA study. Therefore, if DNA samples cannot be or are not obtained from both biologic parents, the child and family will be excluded from the study.

About this study

The purpose of this study is to determine if there are genes that are common in children with infantile hemangioma. This information will allow physicians to improve care for patients who have been diagnosed with this disease and to provide their parents with more complete information regarding the cause of this disease. This research is being done because many unanswered questions remain regarding children with infantile hemangioma. There are very few medications to treat infants with hemangiomas.

WHAT IS INVOLVED IN THE RESEARCH STUDY?

  • Buccal smear (cheek cells) or small blood sample (4 mL or 1 teaspoon) from child being seen in the Dermatology clinic having infantile hemangioma or vascular anomaly
  • Buccal smear (cheek cells) or small blood sample (4 mL or 1 teaspoon) from parents of child

If you and your child agree to be in this study, the following will happen:

  1. Informed consent and permission to use or disclose your/your child's health information for research purposes will be obtained by Dr. Drolet, the principal investigator, or her research team. You will receive a copy of this consent form.
  2. A buccal swab or blood sample will be obtained from you and your child; buccal sampling involves rubbing the inside of your cheek and removing cells to perform a genetic test called "Genomewide Association (GWA).

We expect you and your child to be involved in this study until you and your child have the genetic testing performed.

Being tested
Cheek cell samples or blood sample (4mL), Cheek cell sample or blood sample (4mL)
Keywords
hemangioma, vascular anomaly, infantile hemangioma
Medical subject headings
Hemangioma, Vascular Malformations, Hemangioma, Capillary

What participants receive

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

  • Cheek cell samples or blood sample (4mL)Genetic

    DNA will be extracted from cheek cell or blood samples from parents and child having hemangioma.

  • Cheek cell sample or blood sample (4mL)Genetic

    DNA will be extracted from cheek cell or blood samples of parents and child with a vascular anomaly.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hemangioma, Vascular Anomalies, run by Medical College of Wisconsin at 1 site in United States.

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

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Aug 2017. 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 United States. 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 was stopped early. Results are not available in the source record.

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?

SNP (time frame: 3 years). 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 29 Aug 2017.
