About this study

Official title: The Establishment of a Cross-specialty Collaboration Platform Among Different Medical Specialties Based on High-risk Criteria for Mucopolysaccharidosis Confirmative Diagnosis

In this study the investigators is aimed to establish the MPS screening algorithm for high risk patients who had medical history of previous surgical repair or presence of inguinal and/or umbilical hernia with combination of any ENT related surgery or examination in Taiwan.

Read the detailed description

Mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS) are a group of inherited lysosomal storage disorders. In individuals with MPS disorders, have deficiency or malfunction of specific lysosomal enzymes leads to an abnormal accumulation of certain complex carbohydrates (mucopolysaccharides or glycosaminoglycans) in the arteries, skeleton, eyes, joints, ears, skin, and/or teeth. These accumulations may also be found in the respiratory system, liver, spleen, central nervous system, blood, and bone marrow. This accumulation eventually causes progressive damage to cells, tissues, and various organ systems of the body. Due to such an extreme variability in clinical presentation as well as wide range of disease spectrum, but insufficient MPS disease awareness in Taiwan, these resulted in a delay diagnosis or even miss diagnosis with other clinical symptom thus patient often received inappropriate treatment. In order to address the current issue of delay diagnosis among MPS patient, it is critical to develop a MPS screening algorithm for high risk patients in Taiwan.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Mucopolysaccharidoses, run by Mackay Memorial Hospital.

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 4 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Jan 2018. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Hsiang-Yu Lin, MD (+886-2-2543-3535 ext. 3089-3090, lxc46199@ms37.hinet.net), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To evaluate the positive screening rate of MPS subject (I, II VI and IV) under ENT screening algorithm in Taiwan (time frame: 3 Years). 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 NCT03017677, which also lists 7 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 3 Jan 2018.
