Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 12 to 60 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Child, Adult

Who may be able to join

  • The American College of Rheumatology established eleven criteria in 1982,which were revised in 1997 as a classificatory instrument to operationalise the definition of SLE in clinical trials.
  • Malar rash (rash on cheeks).
  • Discoid rash (red, scaly patches on skin that cause scarring).
  • Serositis: Pleurisy (inflammation of the membrane around the lungs) or pericarditis (inflammation of the membrane around the heart).
  • Oral ulcers (includes oral or nasopharyngeal ulcers).
  • Arthritis: nonerosive arthritis of two or more peripheral joints, with tenderness, swelling, or effusion.

  • Photosensitivity (exposure to ultraviolet light causes rash, or other symptoms of SLE flareups).
  • Blood-hematologic disorder-hemolytic anemia (low red blood cell count) or leukopenia (white blood cell count<4000/µl), lymphopenia (<1500/µl) or thrombocytopenia (<100000/µl) in the absence of offending drug. Hypocomplementemia is also seen, due to either consumption of C3 and C4 by immune complex-induced inflammation or to congenitally complement deficiency, which may predispose to SLE.
  • Renal disorder: More than 0.5 g per day protein in urine or cellular casts seen in urine under a microscope.
  • Antinuclear antibody test positive.
  • Immunologic disorder: Positive anti-Smith, anti-ds DNA, antiphospholipid antibody, and/or false positive serological test for syphilis. Presence of anti-ss DNA in 70% of cases (though also positive with rheumatic disease and healthy persons).
  • Neurologic disorder: Seizures or psychosis. For the purpose of identifying patients for clinical studies, a person has SLE if any 4 out of 11 symptoms are present simultaneously or serially on two separate occasions. In the meantime, the case has one of the following conditions or more;
  • <!-- -->
  • HIV (-);
  • Signed the informed consent;
  • Taking contraceptive measures during treatment period.

Who cannot join

  • Poor compliance;
  • With lupus mental damage complication, occurrence of epilepsy or unable to express subjective symptoms during the observation period.
  • Taking drugs that affect cytochrome P450 2B6, cytochrome P450 3A4 and cytochrome P450 2C19, except corticosteroids.
  • Abnormal liver function.

About this study

Official title: Prospective Study Based on Genetic Polymorphisms Related to Individual Variations of Side Effects of Cyclophosphamide in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Treatment

The purpose of this study is to compare the genotype-based personal prescription of cyclophosphamide with the traditional prescription.

Read the detailed description

Cyclophosphamide (CPA) has been one of the most successful therapies for severe Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). However, cyclophosphamide can cause severe side effects, including bone marrow suppression, infection, gastrointestinal reaction, hemorrhagic cystitis, and the etc. Significant variation in efficacy and toxicity of CPA has been observed. Since the development of applicable therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) of cyclophosphamide has been reported, it will help to improve the efficacy and reduce toxicities in SLE treatment. However, the TDM is a passive strategy which usually lags behind the appearance of toxicities. Therefore,it is especially crucial to give individuals genotype-based personal prescription of cyclophosphamide in order to gain the most effective therapies. Thus, the purpose of this study is to compare the genotype-based personal prescription of cyclophosphamide with the traditional prescription, in order to verify the efficacy of the genotype-based personal prescription.

What participants receive

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

  • Genotype DetectionGenetic

    To Genotype cases in the experimental group and divide them into three groups, including extensive metaboliser (EM), intermediate metaboliser (IM) and poor metaboliser (PM).

Study groups in NCT01689350
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Control GroupNo interventionThe cases in control group received traditional therapy that the initial dose of cyclophosphamide (CPA) was 0.2-0.6g/week injection according to clinical experience.
Experimental GroupExperimentalGenetic: Genotype Detection To Genotype cases in the experimental group and divide them into three groups, including extensive metaboliser (EM), intermediate metaboliser (IM) and poor metaboliser (PM),with initial dose of CPA as 0.2g, 0.4g and 0.6g per week by injection, respectively.
Receives: Genetic: Genotype Detection

What is being measured

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

  1. Adverse Reaction (Leucopenia)

    The count of white cells < 4.0 × 10ˆ9/L in SLE patient who received CPA medication was considered as CPA-induced leucopenia.

    Measured: one month

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Adverse Reaction ( Infection )

    Flu-like symptoms, Upper respiratory tract infection,and the etc.

    Measured: one month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Genotype Detection in people with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, run by Sun Yat-sen University at 1 site in China.

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 16 inclusion and 4 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 2014. 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 China. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 8 Sep 2014). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Adverse Reaction (Leucopenia) (time frame: one month). 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 2014.
