About this study

Official title: MICRO-RNAs OF NEUTROPHILS IN RENAL ANCA-ASSOCIATED VASCULITIS

Activation of neutrophils by ANCA ("Anti-Neutrophil Cytoplasm Antibodies") and subsequent microvascular endothelial cell damage is the main feature of ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV), a severe autoimmune disease that often targets the kidney. There is no specific treatment for AAV to date and 25% of patients with renal damage evolve towards end-stage renal disease, requiring dialysis and kidney transplantation. In addition, there is no reliable biological marker of the disease activity available, which makes the diagnostic, follow-up and treatment of patients difficult. Therefore, the identification of new therapeutic targets and non-invasive biomarkers constitutes a major clinical challenge to improve AAV patients care and to ameliorate their renal outcome.

What participants receive

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

  • Non interventional studyOther

    This is a non interventional study because all levies are performed during visit planned for the care of patients.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Group AAVPatients recruited from the Nantes University Hospital. 50 milliliter of blood and 10mL of urine are collected from these patients during levies in clinical visit.
Receives: Other: Non interventional study
Group controlPeople recruited from the "Etablissement français du sang" (French blood establishment ). 10 milliliter of blood are collected from these donors
Receives: Other: Non interventional study

What is being measured

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

  1. Expression profile of miRNAs in patients with AAV in circulating neutrophils, plasma and urine.

    Measured: 6 month after maintenance treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of ANCA-associated Vasculitis, run by Nantes University Hospital 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 14 inclusion and 0 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 22 Oct 2020. 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?

Expression profile of miRNAs in patients with AAV in circulating neutrophils, plasma and urine. (time frame: 6 month after maintenance treatment). 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 22 Oct 2020.
