Trial summary

Monitoring the GR with a GR-MoAb and FITC-Dex probes by FCM would be useful and convenient in determination GR before the steroid treatment in clinical, especially in steroid resistant states, in order to design more efficient clinical treatment protocols. Read more about this study

  • Ages 15 to 65 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Study population: one hundred patients, including 50 SLE and 50 NS, who will receive GC therapy, were studied. Of them, fifty were GC-resistant patients (25 male and 25 female; 20 without treatment and 30 relapse) and fifty were GC-sensitive ones( 25 male and 25 female; 20 without treatment and 30 relapse ). Controls were 50 healthy volunteers (25 male and 25 female). All participants gave their informed consent, and this investigation was approved by Changhai hoapital ethics committee.

Who may be able to join

  • Clinical diagnosis of SLE and NS

Who cannot join

  • Receiving hormone replacement therapy or had received hormone replacement therapy in three months before start of the study
  • Received drugs or drinks containing alcohol within one month
  • Having symptom such as infection
  • Supersensitivity and endocrine disturbance.

About this study

Official title: Flow Cytometric Analysis of Glucocorticoid Receptor Using Monoclonal Antibody and Fluoresceinated Ligand Probes in Glucocorticoid-Resistant and -Sensitive Patients

Monitoring the GR with a GR-MoAb and FITC-Dex probes by FCM would be useful and convenient in determination GR before the steroid treatment in clinical, especially in steroid resistant states, in order to design more efficient clinical treatment protocols.

Read the detailed description

In order to assess the efficacy of this method, 100 patients with nephrotic syndrome and systemic lupus erythematosus receiving sufficient prednisolone thereafter and 50 age- and sex-matched normal controls will be studied.
