Trial summary

Exertional symptoms are the hallmarks of metabolic myopathies, supporting the concept of using functional tests when this diagnosis is suspected. Exercise increases the concentration of muscle metabolites in the venous blood supply (e.g. lactate, pyruvate, and ammonia) especially during recovery. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Exercise Testing in Metabolic Myopathies

Exertional symptoms are the hallmarks of metabolic myopathies, supporting the concept of using functional tests when this diagnosis is suspected. Exercise increases the concentration of muscle metabolites in the venous blood supply (e.g. lactate, pyruvate, and ammonia) especially during recovery. The purpose of this study is to compare the results of exercise testing with to the data from muscle biopsy or genetic analysis.

What is being measured

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

  1. Whole-body dynamic exercise

    The relation between Cardiopulmonary exercise test variables and the results of muscle biopsy or genetic analysis will be evaluated.

    Measured: Participants will be followed for an expected average of 1 year to determine whether a muscle biopsy is performed

  2. Grip-test

    The relation between Grip-test variables and the results of muscle biopsy or genetic analysis will be evaluated.

    Measured: Participants will be followed for an expected average of 1 year to determine whether a muscle biopsy is performed

  3. Blood tests

    The results of blood analysis from samples performed before, during, and after exercise will be compared to the results of muscle biopsy or genetic analysis.

    Measured: Participants will be followed for an expected average of 1 year to determine whether a muscle biopsy is performed

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Metabolic Myopathies and Exercise Test, run by University Hospital, Brest 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 2 inclusion and 2 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Jan 2020. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Fabrice Rannou, MD, PhD (33(0)298347366, fabrice.rannou@chu-brest.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Whole-body dynamic exercise (time frame: Participants will be followed for an expected average of 1 year to determine whether a muscle biopsy is performed). 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 22 Jan 2020.
