About this study

Three methods are actually used in newborn screening for sickle cell disease (SCD) in France: isoelectric focusing, high performance liquid chromatography and capillary electrophoresis. New technologies are currently under development such as Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption Ionisation - Time of Flight (MALDI-TOF) and tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) using the SpOtOn Diagnostics Reagent Kit available in United Kingdom only.

Zentech company (Liège, Belgium) is developing a package for SCD newborn screening using MS/MS technology. The main objective of the present study will be to compare this new technique with the technique actually used in the hospital center of Lille (sub-contractor for SCD newborn screening of Lyon) and the haemoglobin analysis to test its accuracy (sensitivity and specificity).

Being tested
SCD newborn screening with the MS/MS method from Zentech
Medical subject headings
Anemia, Sickle Cell, Disease, Sickle Cell Trait

What participants receive

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

  • SCD newborn screening with the MS/MS method from ZentechOther

    The analysis of the SCD newborn screening with the MS/MS method from Zentech will be realized after achievement and biological validation of the SCD newborn screening in the usual care pathway. The results will be compared with the method used at the Lille Academic Hospital (CHU Lille) (sub-contractor for SCD newborn screening of Lyon)

Receives: Other: SCD newborn screening with the MS/MS method from Zentech

What is being measured

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

  1. Percent agreement between the two techniques

    Non-inferiority (difference <1%) in terms of sensitivity and specificity between the results obtained with the MS/MS method and those obtained with the technique currently used at the Lille CHU (sub-contractor for SCD newborn screening of Lyon)

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Sickle Cell Disease and Infant, Newborn, Disease, run by Hospices Civils de Lyon at 3 sites 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 1 inclusion and 2 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 17 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 3 sites 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?

Percent agreement between the two techniques (time frame: 6 months). 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 17 Apr 2024.
