About this study

Official title: Damage to DNA Caused by UV-A Irradiation: Photochemical Mechanism and Cutaneous Parameters Involved in the Formation of Cyclobutane Pyrimidine Dimers

The DIMUVA study aims to evaluate the correlation between cutaneous phototype and the nature and quantity of damage caused to cutaneous DNA after exposure to UV-A radiation.

Read the detailed description

Due to their capacity to damage Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), Ultra-Violet (UV) radiation is one of the causes of skin cancers.

Until recently, the genotoxic effects of UV-A radiation, were poorly identified, in particular their capacity to lead to the dimerization of pyrimidine bases .

It is well known that the response to UV-A and UV-B radiations is different depending on the cutaneous phototype.

Thus, the aim of this study is to determine the correlation between cutaneous phototype and the quantity and nature (CPD or oxidative lesions) of damage caused to cutaneous DNA after an ex-vivo exposure to UV-A and UV-B radiations.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
phototype 2ExperimentalVolunteers with cutaneous phototype 2
Receives: Radiation: UVA and UVB irradiation
phototype 4ExperimentalVolunteers with cutaneous phototype 4

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Phototype determination according to the Fitzpatrick classification Number of CPD and oxidative lesions determinated by the analysis of DNA from the skin biopsies after their ex-vivo exposure to UV-A - The CPD / Oxidative lesions ratio

    Measured: Day 0

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Number of CPD and oxidative lesions determinated by the analysis of DNA from the skin biopsies after their exposure ex-vivo to UV-B.

    Measured: Day 0

  2. UV-A radiation exposure: Minimal erythemic dose - Number of CPD and oxidative lesions - CPD / oxidative lesions ratio

    Measured: Day x

  3. UV-B radiation exposure: Minimal erythemic dose - Number of CPD and oxidative lesions - CPD/oxidative lesions ratio

    Measured: Day 0

  4. antioxidant status and quantity of CPD, oxidative lesions after exposure to UV-A and UV-B radiations

    Measured: day 2

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing UVA and UVB irradiation in people with Healthy Volunteers, run by University Hospital, Grenoble at 2 sites 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 5 inclusion and 9 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 3 Sep 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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?

Phototype determination according to the Fitzpatrick classification Number of CPD and oxidative lesions determinated by the analysis of DNA from the skin biopsies after their ex-vivo exposure to UV-A - The CPD / Oxidative lesions ratio (time frame: Day 0). 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 NCT00864955, which also lists 5 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 3 Sep 2009.
