Trial summary

The main objective of this trial is to evaluate the prevalence of alpha-1 antitrypsin quantitative and functional deficiency in an adult French population presenting with pulmonary emphysema. Phenotypic and genotypic studies will be carried whenever quantitative and/or functional deficiency will be displayed. Read more about this study

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of patient with alpha-1 antitrypsin dysfunction

    Alpha-1 antitrypsin protein will be measured either on serum or plasma by standardized immunoassay. The elastase-inhibitory capacity of plasma will be evaluated by a functional test. The anti-elastase dysfunction of alpha-1 antitrypsin will be evaluated using both measurements.

    Measured: Samples for evaluation of alpha-1 antitrypsin dysfunction will be performed the day of the patient enrollment

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Determination of alpha-1 antitrypsin protein phenotype

    The determination of the alpha-1 antitrypsin protein phenotype may highlight genotype variants. The different known phenotypes are: Pi MM, Pi Z; Pi S, Pi SS, Pi SZ, Pi ZZ.

    Measured: Samples for phenotype analysis will be performed the day of the patient enrollment

  2. Molecular genotyping of gene coding alpha-1 antitrypsin

    For those patients who presented with either a functional or a quantitative dysfunction, we will look for genetic mutations in the gene coding the alpha-1 antitrypsin allowing the identification of specific genotype such as MM, MZ, MS, SS and SZ

    Measured: Samples for molecular genotyping will be performed the day of the patient enrollment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Blood sampling in people with Pulmonary Emphysema, run by Hospices Civils de Lyon 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 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 7 Dec 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 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?

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?

Number of patient with alpha-1 antitrypsin dysfunction (time frame: Samples for evaluation of alpha-1 antitrypsin dysfunction will be performed the day of the patient enrollment). 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 7 Dec 2015.
