Trial summary

The primary purpose of the study is to identify the factors of steroid dependency in childhood idiopathic nephrotic syndrome. The steroid dependency is defined by a relapse of nephrotic syndrome within the 3 weeks that follow the withdrawal of steroid therapy after the first manifestation. Read more about this study

About this study

The primary purpose of the study is to identify the factors of steroid dependency in childhood idiopathic nephrotic syndrome. The steroid dependency is defined by a relapse of nephrotic syndrome within the 3 weeks that follow the withdrawal of steroid therapy after the first manifestation. Different clinical and biological factors will be analyzed: age of first manifestation, delay of remission, ethnicity, and preceding viral infection, geolocalization in the Parisian area, genoprevalence of herpes viruses and polymorphisms in the genes involved in the response to steroid therapy.

Read the detailed description

Patients with a steroid dependent nephrotic syndrome will be compared to those with a non steroid dependent form of nephrotic syndrome at the end of the first manifestation. An additional blood volume will be sampled in patients and controls during a scheduled biological check-up for the initial disease. Genetics factors will be checked using a DNA chips devoted to the response to steroid therapy and viral genome of EBV, CMV, HHV7 will be searched for using PCR reaction in total blood DNA extract.

What is being measured

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

  1. define pharmacogenetic factors of steroid dependency

    Measured: 28.5 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. parameters of the immune response against herpesvirus, specially the cellular production of interferon induced by specific viral peptides

    Measured: 28.5 months

  2. Dynamic of the epidemiology of idiopathic nephrotic syndrome in the Paris Area

    Number of participants with idiopathic nephrotic syndrome in Paris Area to determinate if clusters cases exist.

    Measured: 28.5 months

  3. Analysis of cortico-dependence factors

    Comparison of polymorphisms of cortico-dependent patients with non- cortico-dependent patients

    Measured: Day 1

  4. Analysis of susceptibility factors that generate the appearance of the Idiopathic Nephrotic Syndrome

    Comparison of polymorphisms of all patients suffering from the Idiopathic Nephrotic Syndrome, with general population

    Measured: Day 1

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Idiopathic Nephrotic Syndrome, 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 3 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 27 Mar 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?

define pharmacogenetic factors of steroid dependency (time frame: 28.5 months). 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 27 Mar 2017.
