Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to collect urine samples from patients with fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) for the assessment of biomarkers related to disease, disease progression and for prediction of flare-ups of the disease. Disease related biomarkers in these patients are currently unknown. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Urine Sample Collection From Patients With Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva (FOP) for Biomarker Analysis

The purpose of this study is to collect urine samples from patients with fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) for the assessment of biomarkers related to disease, disease progression and for prediction of flare-ups of the disease. Disease related biomarkers in these patients are currently unknown. This study aims to support the development of novel therapy/ies for this disease.

Medical subject headings
Myositis Ossificans

What is being measured

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

  1. Analysis of pre-defined biomarker FGF2

    The objective of this study is to collect urine samples from patients with FOP over a time period covering ideally quiescent disease status and progression through a flare-up for biomarker analysis

    Measured: 3 months

  2. Analysis of pre-defined biomarker WEGF

    The objective of this study is to collect urine samples from patients with FOP over a time period covering ideally quiescent disease status and progression through a flare-up for biomarker analysis

    Measured: 3 months

  3. Analysis of microRNAs

    The objective of this study is to collect urine samples from patients with FOP over a time period covering ideally quiescent disease status and progression through a flare-up for biomarker analysis

    Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva, run by Novartis Pharmaceuticals at 1 site in United States.

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 3 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 12 Mar 2015. 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 United States. 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?

Analysis of pre-defined biomarker FGF2 (time frame: 3 months). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 12 Mar 2015.
