About this study

Under the joint efforts of genetic and intensive expert, to establish the high-throughput whole exon sequencing(WES) and analysis all the possible pathogenic genes. To provide patient with the appropriate treatment for genetic disease. Besides, it can identify the genetic factor of idiosyncrasy or susceptibility to explain the medical difficulties and give patients personalized advice.

Being tested
Whole Exome Sequencing

Metabolism, Inborn Errors, Acute Disease

What participants receive

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

  • Whole Exome SequencingDiagnostic test

    Using next generation sequencing to analysis patient's whole exome. To explore the pathogenic gene variation.

What is being measured

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

  1. Sensitivity of whole exome sequencing in detecting causative mutations

    Measured: 10 weeks

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Time frame of mutation identified after receipt of the sample

    Measured: 10 weeks

  2. Percentage of mutation identified within 7 days after receipt of the sample

    Measured: 10 weeks

  3. Changes in healthcare decision after disclosure of the result

    Measured: 6 months

  4. Parents/family's attitude about exome sequencing

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Congenital Metabolic Disorder and Acute Disease, run by National Taiwan University Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 2 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 16 Jun 2017. 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 Taiwan. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Sensitivity of whole exome sequencing in detecting causative mutations (time frame: 10 weeks). 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 16 Jun 2017.
