About this study

Official title: Prospective Evaluation of Bulbar Function in Neuromuscular Patients

The main objective is prospectively study the upper airways function in an adult population of neuromuscular patients. The main measurement will be the evolution of tongue strength recorded each year during annual clinical evaluation on a 5 years period.

Read the detailed description

The main objective is to study the function of the superior airways (tongue and pharynx) in an non invasive way in neuromuscular patients followed in the home ventilation unit of the Raymond POINCARE hospital (myopathy, neuropathy, disease of the neuromuscular junction or anterior horn) or of Necker Hospital and to detect prematurely the bulbar dysfunction.

The secondary objectives of this prospective monocentric observational physiopathological study are:

  1. to study the correlation between the possible swallowing dysfunction and the anomalies of the respiratory parameters
  2. to establish correlations between infraclinical or clinical and presence of morphological tongue anomalies detected by magnetic resonance imaging like in acid maltase deficiency.

The maximal tongue strength protrusion will be measured according to a method already used in the laboratory to explore sleep apnea syndromes.

Swallowing will be estimated by a non invasive method already used to highlight swallowing disorders in neurological and muscular pathologies This method will be associated with a method of recording of thoracic and abdominal movements.

Data wil be compared to a control database obtained for a previous study

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Neuromuscular Diseases, run by Centre d'Investigation Clinique et Technologique 805 at 2 sites 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 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Jan 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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 David Orlikowski, MD PhD (33147107777, david.orlikowski@rpc.aphp.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change of tongue strength measurement (time frame: 5 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 25 Jan 2018.
