Trial summary

The Martinique island (French West-Indies) is an area of high prevalence and incidence for Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), respectively 64,2/ 100000 and 4,7/ 100000. In many cases, this disease concerns Afro Caribbean women, whose auto-antibodies are excessively high; also, organic damages are frequent. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Study of Catalytic Antibodies in a Cohort Population of Martinique

  • The Martinique island (French West-Indies) is an area of high prevalence and incidence for Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), respectively 64,2/ 100000 and 4,7/ 100000. In many cases, this disease concerns Afro Caribbean women, whose auto-antibodies are excessively high; also, organic damages are frequent. The disease can be fatal.
  • Studies have shown that some cytotoxic auto-antibodies may have a responsibility in the hydrolysing of DNA. This study will focus on the DNA activity and also on the overwhelm hydrolase activity dealing with the Lupus disease in order to measure the link between the disease activity and the catalytic activity. Patients concerned by this study will be Martinique people.
Read the detailed description

This study will be conducted as an case-control survey.

  • The first group with patients: 60 SLE patients, 30 patients with a quiescent lupus and 30 patients with an active lupus. Patients that will be included are followed by the University hospital of Fort-de-France.
  • The second group is the control group: subjects will be recruited by the French organisation responsible for donation of blood.

Test will be done at the UMRS 872 laboratory of the INSERM - Laboratory of Immunopathology and Therapeutic immunointervention - in Paris ; two catalytic activities will be tested: the DNase activity and the hydrolase activity.

Means to analyse the two activities: digestion of plasmid and Affinity-linked Oligonucleotide Nuclease Assay for DNase activity and hydrolysis of a peptide PFR-MCA for hydrolase activity.

What participants receive

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

Study groups in NCT01157468
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
CasesThe "Case" group is constituted with patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus from Martinique, divided en 2: * 30 patients with a quiescent lupus * 30 patients with an active lupus
ControlesThe "Control" group is constituted by people coming to give blood to the French Blood Establishment of Martinique.

What is being measured

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

  1. Frequency of hydrolase and DNase activities

    Estimate the presence of a significant enzymatic activity by calculating the frequency of the hydrolase and DNase activities in lupus in Martinique(French west-indies)

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Association of disease activity and catalytic activity

    Evaluate the strength of the association of disease activity and catalytic activity of antibodies (quiescent / active and control / patient)

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, run by University Hospital Center of Martinique 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 10 inclusion and 11 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 8 Sep 2016. 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?

Frequency of hydrolase and DNase activities (time frame: 2 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 8 Sep 2016.
