About this study

Official title: Morbidity and Mortality Follow Up of Participants of the Scleroderma Lung Study 1

The primary intent of this study is to add to the body of knowledge on scleroderma patients with interstitial lung disease. While lung disease is recognized as the leading cause of death amongst patients with scleroderma, there is not a large body of literature describing the long-term morbidity and mortality rate of these scleroderma patients. For this reason, the investigators are following participants of the Scleroderma Lung Study (NCT00004563) after their participation in that study was concluded. In addition, the investigators will assess if the subjects who received one year of oral cyclophosphamide in the Scleroderma Lung Study experienced progression of their scleroderma-related lung disease following the end of the study.

Read the detailed description

Retrospective and prospective data will be collected about patients who participated in the Scleroderma Lung Study (SLS). An attempt will be made to include all of the participants of the Scleroderma Lung Study, who were reported as alive at the end of that study.

A total of 158 subjects (79 per treatment arm) were randomized on the original Scleroderma Lung Study. Of those, 109 subjects completed the study. A single telephone interview with the participants to assess the occurrence of severe events and a review of the participant's medical records may be conducted. The outcome information will be combined with information collected about all participants in the SLS study. The data being collected includes information on mortality, development of cancers, development of organ failure, and performance status.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Scleroderma, run by Duke University.

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 0 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 23 Jan 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Time to death or first organ failure (time frame: 9-12 years). 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 23 Jan 2014.
