Trial summary

The 6-minute walk (6MWT) test is used in adults and children affected by a wide range of chronic diseases to evaluate their sub-maximal exercise capacity. It reflects the global response of various physiological systems (respiratory, cardio-vascular, neurologic, metabolic and musculosquelettic) in a situation… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Evaluation de la capacité Physique Sous Maximale au Moyen du Test de Marche de 6 Minutes Des Enfants et Adultes Jeunes Suivis Pour drépanocytose et Nouveaux paramètres d'hémolyse : Vers Une prédiction Des Complications Vasculaires ?

The 6-minute walk (6MWT) test is used in adults and children affected by a wide range of chronic diseases to evaluate their sub-maximal exercise capacity. It reflects the global response of various physiological systems (respiratory, cardio-vascular, neurologic, metabolic and musculosquelettic) in a situation simulating a daily life activity. In children with sickle cell disease, the 6MWT is correlated with a low level of hemoglobin, a low level of fetal hemoglobin and low red cell deformability. Our team previously reported that in a population of children with sickle cell disease, highly treated with hydroxyurea, the sole factor which was independently linked to the 6MWT was the presence of silence infarct.

As the cardio-vascular and cerebro-vascular injury in sickle cell disease are directly correlated with hemolysis, the investigators aim to evaluate a) the clinical relevance of endothelial and inflammation parameters and new hemolysis markers and b) if the presence of silent infarct and the 6MWT are correlated with this biological markers.

This cross-sectional study will include sickle cell disease patients regularly followed for more than 5 years at Hôpital Universitaire des Enfants Reine Fabiola, Centre Hospitalier Universitaire (CHU)-Brugmann, Centre Hospitalier Etterbeek-Ixelles, CHU Saint-Pierre, Cliniques Universitaires Saint-Luc (Bruxelles, Belgium). Inclusion criteria are: sickle cell disease (SS, Sbeta°, SC, Sbeta+), age range : 6 to 25 years, signed informed consent. Exclusion criteria are: transplanted patients, inability to perform the 6MWT (severe cognitive disability, femoral osteonecrosis with functional impairment), hospitalization and/ or transfusion in the last 3 months for acute event.

Demographic data and clinical data will be retrospectively recorded. Blood test and 6MWT will be performed in steady state. Studied analysis will be: coagulation factors, free hemoglobin, Pro-B type natriuretic peptide (Pro-BNP), High sensitivity C reactive protein (HS-CRP), Intercellular Adhesion Molecule (ICAM), Vascular Cell Adhesion Molecule (VCAM) and Selectins.

With this study, the investigators expect to validate new predictive markers for cardio-vascular or cerebrovascular injury and to identify patients at high risk to develop these complications.

What is being measured

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

  1. Correlation between new biological data and clinical phenotype

    The primary outcome of this study is to validate the relationship between these new biological markers and the clinical phenotype.

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Correlation between new biological data and 6-minute walk test

    The secondary outcome is to confirm the correlation between the 6-minute walk test and the presence of silent infarct and to explore the relationship between these new markers and the 6-minute walk test.

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Sickle Cell Disease, run by Queen Fabiola Children's University 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 3 inclusion and 4 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 12 Feb 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Laurence Dedeken, MD (+3224773469, laurence.dedeken@huderf.be), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Correlation between new biological data and clinical phenotype (time frame: 2 years). 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 12 Feb 2019.
