About this study

Official title: Prevalence of Inflammatory Myopathies in Alsace

Knowledge of the descriptive epidemiology of MIs is very limited. The main objective of this study is to determine the prevalence of inflammatory myopathies in Alsace at the 1st January 2012 with "capture-recapture" design using several independent sources of case identification.

Read the detailed description

Inflammatory myopathies (MIs) are a group of muscle diseases with a significant heterogeneity, clinical, immunological and prognosis.

The old classifications, still currently used, highlight this heterogeneity. Therefore Troyanov and coll. and Hoogendijk and coll. have each recently proposed a classification based on clinical and serological - and immuno- histological examination.

The pathogenesis and prognosis of MIs is very different depending on the entity in question.

Knowledge of the descriptive epidemiology of MIs is very limited. In fact no epidemiological work using criteria consensual classification is actually started.

We propose an epidemiological study of MIs. The main objective of the study is to determine the prevalence of MIs in Alsace at 1stJanuary 2012 by means of a "capture- recapture" study using several independent sources of case identification. The secondary objectives of the study are:

  • estimating the geographical distribution of the disease in the Alsace region and / or Auvergne
  • demographic description of patients : age, sex, residence , occupation
  • description of the disease: patient age at diagnosis, disease classification , main clinical manifestations and complications
  • Identification of paraneoplastic forms will be for the Alsace region by crossing with Alsatian cancer registries. These records will be interviewed to identify cases of MIs associated with cancers.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Polymyositis, run by University Hospital, Strasbourg, 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 3 inclusion and 2 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 20 Aug 2019. 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?

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?

Estimate the prevalence of idiopathic inflammatory myopathies in Alsace. (time frame: Prevalence of idiopathic inflammatory myopathies in Alsace at 1st January 2012). 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 20 Aug 2019.
