About this study

Official title: Arterial Wall Calcium Load and Preferential Sites in Pseudoxanthoma Elasticum Versus Type 2 Diabetes and Chronic Kidney Disease.

Quantification and preferential sites of arterial wall calcification within the coronary and lower legs arteries will be comared between Pseudo-Xanthoma elasticum(PXE) atients and type 2 diabetics and Chronic Kidney disease.

Read the detailed description

In a previous work we have observed that patients suffering from PXE, a soft-tissue calcifying inherited autosomal disease, exhibited specific structural and functionnal features within the peripheral arteries. We now want to quantify and determine the preferential sites of the arterial wall calcification (Agatston score) between these patients compared to diabetics and patients with chronic renal insufficiency with mediacalcosis.

All variables will be collected from a cohort of PXE monitored in our PXE Health and Care centre at the university hospital of Angers. Quantification of the arterial wall calcium load will be performed using helicoidal CT-scan. These variables will be compared to the same measurements performed in type 2 diabetic and chronic kidney disease patients paired by age and gender.

What is being measured

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

  1. calcification score

    the level of arterial wall calcification determined by a Ct-scan and computed by the Agatston score

    Measured: after inclusion

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. site of calcification

    the anatomical site of arterial wall calcification determined by a Ct-scan and computed by the Agatston score

    Measured: after inclusion

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pseudoxanthoma Elasticum and Type 2 Diabetes, run by University Hospital, Angers 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 4 inclusion and 5 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Nov 2012. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Yannick LE CORRE, MD (33(2)41.35.39.10, yalecorre@chu-angers.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

calcification score (time frame: after inclusion). 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 21 Nov 2012.
