Trial summary

Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a chronic lung disease that affects a ratio of up to 20-30% of infants prematurely born before 30rd week. Delay of starting to speak, cerebral palsy and cognitive disorders may be seen in infants suffering from this disease. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Investigation of Polymorphisms Defined in Specific Genes Which Are Associated With Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia In Turkish Population

Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a chronic lung disease that affects a ratio of up to 20-30% of infants prematurely born before 30rd week. Delay of starting to speak, cerebral palsy and cognitive disorders may be seen in infants suffering from this disease. Although all the evidence found on the specific mediators and pathways that regulate the mechanism by studies made to understand the pathophysiologic mechanism, there hasn't been any remarkable progress on preventing the development of BPD in new-born infants born below 1500gr body weight. BPD is still one of the most important morbidity and mortality reasons in premature infants. There is a need of further studies to understand the genetic background of BPD specific to different populations, to identify polymorphisms related with the disease and for developing genetic methods for early the diagnose of the disease.

With this purpose, first of all polymorphisms related with BPD and those which are related with similar other lung diseases will be investigated. DNA samples derived from blood samples of 200 patients (100 BPD infant and 100 control) will be examined for polymorphisms in specific genes that are chosen in the light of the prior literature scanning. To the investigators' knowledge, this will be the first study of a broad scanning of polymorphisms related with BPD in Turkish population.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing polymorphism analyzing in people with Bronchopulmonary Displasia, run by Seda Yilmaz Semerci at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 3 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 5 Mar 2019. 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

DNA (time frame: 6 months). 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 NCT03467828, 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 5 Mar 2019.
