Trial summary

Kawasaki disease (KD) is an acute systemic vasculitic syndrome with coronary tropism. It has been reported worldwide, but it is ten times more common in Asian population. The annual incidence in children under 5 years in Europe is estimated at 8 to 100000. Read more about this study

About this study

Kawasaki disease (KD) is an acute systemic vasculitic syndrome with coronary tropism.

It has been reported worldwide, but it is ten times more common in Asian population. The annual incidence in children under 5 years in Europe is estimated at 8 to 100000. It is the second vasculitis of the child by its frequency after rheumatoid purpura. It occurs in 80% of cases between 1 and 5 years, with a maximal incidence around the age of 12 months.

It may results in acquired heart disease in children in developed countries, and may be the cause of premature coronary artery disease in adulthood.

A polymorphism was recently associated with the occurrence of disease in a Japanese and U.S population. (C allele of SNP itpkc_3, with a risk multiplied by 2). However, data are conflicting on this issue and the prevalence of this allel is unknown in North America and Europe populations.

The clinical picture of KD associate a persistent fever and an antipyretics resistance with mucocutaneous signs and bulky cervical lymphadenopathy usually unilateral. Diagnosis is confirmed by the presence of five clinical signs (major criteria). The presence of inconsistent coronary lesions in cardiac ultrasound can confirm the diagnosis.

KD can resolve spontaneously with no treatment. The severity of the disease is primarily related to complications of coronary aneurysms in acute or chronic stages.

Several arguments support the fact that adult patients have diffuse vascular lesions different from aneurysmal lesions initially described in childhood.

Despite abundance of publications on KD, there is no prospective or retrospective study which explored anomalies resulting from KD in adult subjects.

Therefore, this project will describe the patient's vascular evolution, the prevalence of atherosclerotic lesions and to determine the biological and functional abnormalities, markers of accelerated atherosclerosis.

Hypothesis : A history of Kawasaki disease represents a cardiovascular risk factor in adulthood.

The main objective is to evaluate the prevalence of atherosclerotic lesions, their extent and their severity in adults with a history of KD in childhood compared to a control population.

What is being measured

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

  1. Prevalence of carotid and coronary atherosclerotic plaques at vascular Doppler ultrasound and coronary scan in the KD population versus control population

    Measured: 1 day

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Early markers of atherosclerosis

    Secondary Outcomes consist of early markers of atherosclerosis:

    • Carotid intima-media thickness
    • Endothelial dysfunction of coronary arteries,
    • Myocardial blood flow at rest and under pharmacological stress (adenosine)
    • Myocardial systolic function overall and segmental at rest and under pharmacological stress (dobutamine)
    • Early biological markers of atherosclerosis.

    Measured: 1 day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Cardiac evaluation in people with Kawasaki Disease, run by Hospices Civils de Lyon 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 5 inclusion and 14 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 22 Aug 2017. 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?

Prevalence of carotid and coronary atherosclerotic plaques at vascular Doppler ultrasound and coronary scan in the KD population versus control population (time frame: 1 day). 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 22 Aug 2017.
