About this study

Official title: Clinical and Multi-omics Cross-phenotyping of Patients With Autoimmune and Auto-inflammatory Diseases

The family of inflammatory/autoimmune systemic diseases (IAD) form a continuum from pure inflammatory diseases to pure autoimmune diseases, encompassing a large panel of inflammatory diseases with some autoimmune components, and vice versa. Cross phenotyping of patients with IAD should be heuristic and help revise the nosography and the understanding of these diseases.

Read the detailed description

The family of inflammatory/autoimmune systemic diseases (IAD) represents a large group of human diseases. For most if not all of these IAD, the pathophysiological processes or exact causes remain poorly understood. Progresses in molecular understanding of these IAD have led to realize that these are not two distinct categories of diseases. Rather they form a continuum from pure inflammatory diseases to pure autoimmune diseases, encompassing a large panel of inflammatory diseases with some autoimmune components, and vice versa.

Using systems biology, the investigator aims to improve the understanding of these diseases, to identify novel genes/pathways involved, specific or across the diseases, and to discover biomarkers and potential therapeutic targets.

The investigator will study adult patients with at least one of the following IAD: Rheumatoid Arthritis, Ankylosing Spondylitis, Systemic Lupus Erythematosus/Antiphospholipid Syndrome, Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF), Cryopyrin-Associated Periodic Syndromes (CAPS) /Tumor Necrosis Factor-receptor Associated Periodic Syndrome (TRAPS), Vasculitis, Uveitis, Myositis, Crohn's Disease, Ulcerative colitis, Type 1 Diabetes. This panel will be completed by controls groups: healthy volunteers, and patients with arthritis (knee and/or hip) or muscular dystrophy.

The biological investigations will notably comprise: immunomics (comprehensive evaluation of peripheral blood cell subsets and serum immunoproteomics, including autoantibodies); transcriptomics; Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA)-phenotyping; genomics; T-Cell Receptor (TCR) sequencing and microbiota studies.

After signing the informed consent, the subject attends only one visit (Day 0) during which all biological samples will be taken and all clinical information collected.

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 12 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 8 Aug 2023. 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?

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?

Total peripheral blood gene expression between patients, expressed as fluorescence intensity (time frame: at day 0, no follow-up). The study lists 6 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT02466217, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 8 Aug 2023.
