Trial summary

Interstitial lung diseases (ILD) in children represent a heterogeneous group of rare and not well defined disorders. Genetic abnormalities of surfactant proteins B (SFTPB) and more recently C (SFTPC) have been shown to be related to these pathologies. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Surfactant Disorders Associated With Chronic Lung Disease in Children.

Interstitial lung diseases (ILD) in children represent a heterogeneous group of rare and not well defined disorders. Genetic abnormalities of surfactant proteins B (SFTPB) and more recently C (SFTPC) have been shown to be related to these pathologies. However, variability in the lung disease phenotype suggests the involvement of other surfactant-associated genes such as ABCA3 (ATP-binding cassette, sub-family A, member, 3). Thus, the aim of this project is: 1) to assess the prevalence of SFTPC mutation in children with chronic lung diseases, 2) to precise clinical and radiological features of children with SFTPC mutation, and 3) to identify environmental or genetic factors that may explain the extreme variability of this disease.

Read the detailed description

The first stage of this project will be to constitute a clinical, radiological, biological database of children (1 moth-17 years) with severe respiratory distress and/or an unexplained chronic ILD. Mutations in SFTPC, SFTPB and ABCA3 will be further identified by sequencing and documented with using the parents blood samples.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Chronic Lung Disease, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris 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 4 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 19 Nov 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?

To assess the prevalence of SFTPC mutation in children with chronic lung diseases (time frame: At the inclusion visit). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00783978, 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 19 Nov 2012; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
