Trial summary

This is a study about why some people have certain types of proteins in their blood, called anti-phospholipid antibodies. The presence of these antibodies and associated complications (e.g. blood clots) are known to change over time. Read more about this study

About this study

This is a study about why some people have certain types of proteins in their blood, called anti-phospholipid antibodies. The presence of these antibodies and associated complications (e.g. blood clots) are known to change over time. The purpose of this study is to evaluate these changes and improve our ability to determine the long-term outcome of affected individuals.

Read the detailed description

Aim:

  1. Determine the incidence, and time frame, for aquiring aPL in a cohort of aPL-negative pediatric SLE subjects.
  2. Determine the incidence, and time frame, for developing a first APS-associated complication among SLE subjects with detectable aPL.
  3. Determine the incidence, and time frame, for developing a second APS-associated event among subjects with a history of an APS-associated event.
  4. Determine the incidence, and time frame, for developing SLE among subjects with a history of an APS-associated event in the absence of SLE.
  5. Identify laboratory and clinical predictors for the events described in aims 1-4.Research Design and Methods:

This is a prospective cohort study to determine the risk of developing aPL or APS-related symptoms in a young group of SLE and APS subjects. Patients will be followed over a ten year period and will undergo annual serologic and clinical evaluations to identify disease progression.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lupus, run by University of California, San Francisco at 1 site in United States.

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 8 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Dec 2024. 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 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?

thrombosis (time frame: Ten 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 27 Dec 2024.
