Trial summary

Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is the most common pediatric rheumatic disease of childhood. Most children still experience prolonged periods of active disease, however, there is still lack of effective and specific markers for early diagnosis of relapse. Read more about this study

About this study

Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is the most common pediatric rheumatic disease of childhood. Most children still experience prolonged periods of active disease, however, there is still lack of effective and specific markers for early diagnosis of relapse. The pathogenesis of JIA is thought to be the result of a combination of host genetic and environmental triggers and The microbiota is a potential contributing factor to the development of the disease. (1-3)-ß-D-Glucan (BDG), a component of most fungal cell walls, possess immunomodulatory activities. Latest studies demonstrate that it acts as a trigger for autoimmune arthritis in adult. However the relation with JIA is not clearly defined. The objective of this study was to evaluate the (1,3)-Béta-D-Glucans level in patients with JIA and whether higher serum BDG levels are correlated with JIA activity of disease, comparatively with usual markers.

What participants receive

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

  • The Juvenile Disease Activity Score (JADAS)Diagnostic test

    The JADAS includes the following four measures: physician's global assessment of disease activity, measured on a 0-10 visual analog scale (VAS) where 0 = no activity and 10 = maximum activity; parent global assessment of well-being, measured on a 0-10 VAS where 0 = very well and 10 = very poor; the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), normalized to a 0 to 10 scale; and a count of joints with active disease.

  • (1-3)-ß-D-Glucan (BDG) assay (Fungitell)Biological

    Evaluation of the (1,3)-Beta-D-Glucans level in patients with JIA and correlation of the higher serum BDG levels with JIA activity of disease, comparatively with usual markers

What is being measured

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

  1. Measure of (1,3)-Beta-D-Glucans level in patients with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis

    (1-3)-ß-D-Glucan (BDG), a component of most fungal cell walls, possess immunomodulatory activities. Latest studies demonstrate that it acts as a trigger for autoimmune arthritis in adult. BDG assays (Fungitell®) will be performed on serum of each JIA patients.

    Measured: one year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing The Juvenile Disease Activity Score (JADAS) and (1-3)-ß-D-Glucan (BDG) assay (Fungitell) in people with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire, Amiens at 1 site in France.

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 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 18 Jan 2023. 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 France. 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?

Measure of (1,3)-Beta-D-Glucans level in patients with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (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 18 Jan 2023.
