Trial summary

The late infantile form of galactosialidosis is potentially amenable to treatment by gene transfer with an adeno-associated viral vector encoding Protective Protein Cathepsin A (PPCA) or by infusion of purified protein. Read more about this study

About this study

The late infantile form of galactosialidosis is potentially amenable to treatment by gene transfer with an adeno-associated viral vector encoding Protective Protein Cathepsin A (PPCA) or by infusion of purified protein. The published literature contains limited descriptions of the disease nor is it known how many patients with the disorder are potentially available for protocol enrollment. This preliminary study is designed to define the demographics and clinical characteristics of the patient population with galactosialidosis. Individuals for whom DNA diagnosis has been performed at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital (SJCRH) will be contacted telephonically to learn their current status. In addition, a letter requesting information regarding patients with galactosialidosis will be sent to all pediatric geneticists throughout the United States. Selected physicians with expertise in lysosomal storage diseases throughout the world will also be contacted. Foundations and Associations for the lysosomal storage disorders will also be contacted in an effort to identify additional potential patients with galactosialidosis. The information to be collected in this preliminary study will facilitate development of specific eligibility criteria for future therapeutic studies.

Read the detailed description

Individual patient/families will be interviewed by telephone to learn basic demographic information and disease status. Medical records will be requested from primary care providers to provide further information regarding their disorder. Individual patients identified through our survey of pediatric geneticists or via the disease foundations or associations will be sent a letter describing our purpose and which includes a consent form for a subsequent telephonic interview. Their medical records will also be requested.

What is being measured

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

  1. Mean, median and standard deviation of age distribution of patients with galactosialidosis.

    The clinical and demographic data will be tabulated and analyzed for age distribution and disease manifestations with a goal of defining eligibility criteria for future therapeutic protocols.

    Measured: At enrollment

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Number and type of PPCA gene mutations in patients with galactosialidosis.

    The genotyping data will be tabulated and analyzed to determine the spectrum of mutations that result in the late infantile form of galactosialidosis.

    Measured: At enrollment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Galactosialidosis, run by St. Jude Children's Research Hospital 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 1 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 11 Oct 2018. 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?

Mean, median and standard deviation of age distribution of patients with galactosialidosis. (time frame: At enrollment). 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 11 Oct 2018.
