About this study

Official title: Screening of TMA Patients for ADAMTS13 Activity and the Description of Systematic Organ Damage and/or Organ Failure in Different Entities of Thrombotic Microangiopathies (TMA)

Screening of TMA patients for ADAMTS13 activity and the description of systemic organ damage and/or organ failure in different entities of thrombotic microangiopathies (TMA)

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective diagnostic analysis enrolling 100 patients with clinically suspected thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) on the basis of laboratory findings such as thrombocytopenia, Coombs negative haemolytic anemia with increased LDH and increased schistozytes. As a first step of differential diagnosis, patients are classified by determining ADAMTS13 activity and antigen concentration and also analyzing for Shigatoxin and Shigatoxin producing bacteria respectively. Primary objective is to determine the relative incidences of the three major entities i.e. aHUS, STEC-HUS and TTP considering distribution of age and gender as well. Mean value of ADAMTS13 activity and antigen measured at date of first diagnosis is considered to line out a threshold value for ADAMTS13 activity pronouncing clinical apparent TMA. Furthermore the present study intends to characterize clinical presentation, clinical course and outcome of different TMA forms particularly with regard to treatment procedures. Monitoring of how ADAMTS13 activity and antigen changes in the course of the disease and in response to treatment is of particular concern for this study. Family history and special clinical conditions should be noted identifying potential genetic predisposition and definite clinical triggers leading to disease manifestation.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Thrombotic Microangiopathies, run by University of Cologne.

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 1 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 26 Feb 2015. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

relative incidences of different entities of TMA (time frame: at baseline). 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 26 Feb 2015.
