About this study

Official title: Effectiveness of Tailored Therapeutic Model According to the Expression of Genes Related to Immunomodulator-induced Myelosuppression in Inflammatory Bowel Disease Patients

This study is a randomized controlled study conducted at five tertiary university hospitals. Patients who are 20-80 years old, diagnosed as having Inflammatory Bowel Disease(IBD) and who are planned to start thiopurines for the first time for the treatment of IBD are enrolled. Patients are assigned to the genotyping group or to the non-genotyping group. The patients who carry any heterozygotic variant among the three genes receive 50 mg azathioprine (AZA) or 25 mg of 6-mercaptopurine, while those who have any homozygotic variant are recommended to take other alternative drugs. The patients who do not carry any genetic variant or are assigned in non-genotyping group receive the standard dose of thiopurines based on the conventional approach.

Patients in the non-genotyping group receive the standard dose of thiopurines based on the conventional approach.

Being tested
genotyping for three genes (TPMT, NUDT15 and FTO), non-genotyping

What participants receive

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

  • genotyping for three genes (TPMT, NUDT15 and FTO)Genetic

    Patients who carry any heterozygotic variants receive 50 mg AZA or 25 mg 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP), while those who have any homozygotic variants are recommended to take other alternative drugs instead of thiopurines

  • non-genotypingOther

    Patients receive standard doses of thiopurines based on the conventional regimen without pretreatment genotyping. Conventional regimen starts with 50 mg of AZA, then the dose is increased by 25 mg in every 1-2 weeks to 2.0-2.5 mg/kg along with regular monitoring of general blood tests including WBC counts.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing genotyping for three genes (TPMT, NUDT15 and FTO) and non-genotyping in people with Inflammatory Bowel Diseases, run by Yonsei University at 5 sites in South Korea.

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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Oct 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in South Korea. 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?

Cumulative incidence of myelosuppression (time frame: 1 year). 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 NCT03719118, 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 25 Oct 2018.
