Trial summary

Eosinophilia, defined by a blood eosinophil granulocytes rate greater than 500 / mm3, is frequently encountered in internal medicine. Its causes are varied: atopy, drug allergies, parasitic infections, autoimmune diseases and solid neoplasias. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Algorithm for the Early Diagnosis and Treatment of Patients With Eosinophilia

Eosinophilia, defined by a blood eosinophil granulocytes rate greater than 500 / mm3, is frequently encountered in internal medicine.

Its causes are varied: atopy, drug allergies, parasitic infections, autoimmune diseases and solid neoplasias. Over 200 etiologies have been reported, some difficult to diagnose and can be life-threatening Eosinophilia can be a diagnostic dilemma, as the etiologies are extensive and varied.

The aim of this study is to assess the feasibility of a diagnostic approach based on a decision algorithm in a group of patients with eosinophilia.

We assume that a procedure with a hierarchy of additional tests would increase the frequency of diagnosed cases while decreasing the time to diagnosis.

This procedure defined by an algorithm would even reduce the number of tests necessary to reach a diagnosis.

Eosinophilia, defined by a blood eosinophil granulocytes rate greater than 500 / mm3, is frequently encountered in internal medicine.

Its causes are varied: atopy, drug allergies, parasitic infections, autoimmune diseases and solid neoplasias. Over 200 etiologies have been reported, some difficult to diagnose and can be life-threatening

Eosinophilia can be a diagnostic dilemma, as the etiologies are extensive and varied.

The aim of this study is to assess the feasibility of a diagnostic approach based on a decision algorithm in a group of patients with eosinophilia.

The contribution to the diagnosis of a hierarchical strategy for prescribing additional tests , based on clinical examination as well as some simple diagnostic tests, has never been evaluated

We assume that a procedure with a hierarchy of additional tests would increase the frequency of diagnosed cases while decreasing the time to diagnosis.

This procedure defined by an algorithm would even reduce the number of tests necessary to reach a diagnosis.

All types of patients are tacked into account: those coming from the university hospital, referred by general practitioners or by other hospitals.

In addition we address the internal medicine patients ,but also those of Hematology and Infectious Diseases. A comparison of these various groups would be relevant, since disorders that may be different.

Once enrolled, the patient is drived by the investigator through the various steps and exams imposed by the algorithm.

Indeed, during 5 months (Day1 5, 43, 71 , 85 , 99 ,113 and month 5), patient is asked to comply to the various exams and assessment imposed by the algorithm and that should lead to a diagnosis

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of patients having correctly follow the diagnosis algorithm

    This outcome measure how many patients have correctly followed the diagnosis algorithm

    Measured: 5 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Rate of diagnosis

    Evaluate the rate of diagnosis using our diagnosis algorithm

    Measured: 5 months

  2. Assess the time to diagnosis

    Assess the time to diagnosis

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Scheduled exams and diagnosis in people with Hypereosinophilic Syndrome, run by University Hospital, Limoges 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 6 inclusion and 5 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 24 Jun 2026. 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 patients having correctly follow the diagnosis algorithm (time frame: 5 months). 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 24 Jun 2026.
