About this study

Official title: Pediatric Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorder (NMOSD) 1 Year Observational Study

This study is being done to develop a database of pediatric patients in order to study the cause, early detection and best treatment for neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) in pediatric patients.

Read the detailed description

This study is being done to collect information on the natural history of NMOSD in pediatric AQP4-IgG seropositive patients. A major restriction in performing drug studies in pediatric patients with NMOSD is limited information on the course of the disease in these patients. Collecting clinical information over the course of a 1 year observational study would inform on the natural history of the disease in these patients. A repository of pediatric patients with rare diseases can increase knowledge on the natural history of the specific disease, assist in identifying appropriate patients fulfilling specified criteria for drug studies and potentially serve as a control group.

Timepoints: Baseline, 3mo, 6mo, 9mo, 12mo (+/- 1 mo for each time point).

Baseline data:

  • Demographics [age/sex/ethnicity],
  • Clinical presentation information including date of initial diagnosis,
  • Clinical phenotype
  • Immunotherapy used current and past,
  • Family history of autoimmune diseases,
  • Serological data results
  • Radiologic data as available

Self-Report Assessments will be:

  • Current impairment, as measured by the expanded disability status scale (EDSS) score self-reported using Ratzker (1997) EDSS Self Report form,
  • Quality of life as measured by the EQ-5D and Varni's (1998) PedsQL over the phone/mail/email.

At follow-up visits 3mo, 6mo, 9mo, 12mo (+/- 1 mo for each time point):

  • Attacks/relapses
  • Any hospitalizations
  • Confirm medications and update records if changes

Self-Report Assessments at follow-up will be:

  • Current impairment, as measured by the EDSS score self-reported using Ratzker (1997) EDSS Self Report form,
  • Quality of life as measured by the EQ-5D and PedsQL over the phone/mail/email.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Neuromyelitis Optica and NMO Spectrum Disorder, run by Mayo Clinic at 1 site in United States.

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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Apr 2024. 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 United States. 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?

Time to relapse (time frame: One year.). 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 10 Apr 2024.
