Trial summary

Bullous pemphigoid is the most common subepidermal autoimmune blistering disease of the skin in European countries, including France. Immunologically, BP is characterized by the production of autoantibodies directed against two major components of the hemidesmosome, BP180 and BP230. Read more about this study

About this study

Bullous pemphigoid is the most common subepidermal autoimmune blistering disease of the skin in European countries, including France.

Immunologically, BP is characterized by the production of autoantibodies directed against two major components of the hemidesmosome, BP180 and BP230.

Read more

The anti-BP180 autoantibody is detected in 79-93% of cases of bullous pemphigoid and its serum level at diagnosis have been correlated with disease activity. The anti-BP230 autoantibody is detected in 57%-63% of bullous pemphigoid cases and its score at diagnosis did not correlate with disease activity.

Up to now, no clinical or immunologic factors have been identified to predict outcome of patients with good or poor prognosis bullous pemphigoid as defined by long complete remission off therapy and recurrent disease requiring maintenance therapy for years. The usefulness of BP180 or BP230 ELISA scores for monitoring BP patients during treatment also remains unclear.

Aim of the study were :

To study association between the serum level of cytokines (IL-17 and IL-23) and of the protease MMP-9 and the relapse of bullous pemphigoid.

Being tested
Blood sample for dosages of cytokines (IL-17 and IL-23) and of the protease MMP-9

What is being measured

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

  1. Relapse of bullous pemphigoid.

    The relapse of bullous pemphigoid is defined as he reappearance of at least 3 new daily blisters along with pruritus and/or erythematous, eczematous or urticarial plaques

    Measured: Month 12

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Bullous Pemphigoid, run by CHU de Reims 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 3 inclusion and 1 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 30 Aug 2016. 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?

Relapse of bullous pemphigoid. (time frame: Month 12). 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 NCT02883894, 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 30 Aug 2016.
