About this study

Official title: A Randomized Trial of Treatment in Patients With IgG4-Related Disease

This is an open-label randomized controlled trial to compare the efficacy of Prednisone alone and combination therapy of Prednisone and Mycophenolate mofetil in IgG4RD patients.

Read the detailed description

Patients with IgG4-RD will be randomized in two therapeutic groups: Prednisone alone and combination therapy with Prednisone and Mycophenolate mofetil. These patients will be followed in 12 months. Treatment response and relapse will be recorded, as well as side effects.

Being tested
Prednisone, Prednisone and Mycophenolate mofetil
Keywords
IgG4 related disease, IgG4-RD, Response rate, Relapse
Medical subject headings

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • PrednisoneDrug

    Also called Pred, Prednisolone

    Prednisone: started with prednisone alone 0. 6-0. 8mg/kg.d for 1 month, decreased 5mg per 2 weeks, and maintained at 10mg/d to 12 months.

  • Prednisone and Mycophenolate mofetilDrug

    Also called MMF, Mycophenolate mofetil Dispersible Tablets

    Prednisone: started with prednisone 0. 6-0. 8mg/kg.d for 1 month, decreased 5mg per 2 weeks, maintained at 7.5mg to 10mg/d to 12 months.

    Immunosuppressive drugs: Mycophenolate mofetil 1g/d-1.5g/d for 6 months and 0.5/d-1.0g/d for 6 months.

What is being measured

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

  1. Complete and partial response rate at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months.

    Complete and partial response are defined as resolution of clinical manifestations, biochemical tests (C-reactive Proteins and IgG or IgG4 levels), and imaging studies

    Measured: Up to 12 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Disease response at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months.

    Disease response is measured by IgG4-RD Responder Index(IgG4-RD RI) and defined as:

    • Improvement of >2 points in the IgG4-RD RI over baseline
    • No disease flares, as assessed by the IgG4-RD RI.

    Measured: Up to 12 months

  2. Number of participants with adverse effect

    Treatment-related adverse effect, including glucocorticoid-induced diabetes mellitus and infections.

    Measured: Up to 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Prednisone and Prednisone and Mycophenolate mofetil in people with Autoimmune Disease, run by Peking Union Medical College Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 7 inclusion and 7 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 24 Jan 2017. 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 China. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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 Wen Zhang, Professor (861069158795, zhangwen91@sina.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Complete and partial response rate at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months. (time frame: Up to 12 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02458196, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 24 Jan 2017.
