About this study

Coats plus syndrome is a very rare and serious disease, caused by premature telomere shortening. It is a pediatric, multi-systemic disease, the main features of which are retinal vasculopathy and neurological disorders, associated with brain calcification and leukodystrophy. Its precise genetic etiology was discovered in 2012: autosomal recessive mutation of the CTC1 gene.

Publications about this syndrome are very few, and consist only of case reports, or small series of cases. This is explained by the rarity of occurrence of this syndrome. Since 1988, 57 cases of Coats plus syndrome have been published, with case series of up to 13 patients. Only 28 cases were detailed concerning the precise clinical presentation in the literature.

The general characteristics of this syndrome are known and, in addition to the ophthalmological and neurological damage, the various publications have been able to report a digestive attack (hemorrhages), hematological damage (central cytopenias), or increased bone fragility. No treatment is currently available to cure patients.

The natural history of this disease is poorly known. However, the most accurate knowledge possible of this disease, and its natural history, is essential. It would allow an easier identification of this rare syndrome, the establishment of a management (monitoring and therapeutic) adapted, and a more accurate genetic counseling in case of need of a prenatal diagnosis.

The description of a new series of unpublished cases, as well as a comprehensive review of the literature on Coats plus syndrome, will provide a more comprehensive and informed view of this disease.

Moreover, LCC syndrome (leukoencephalopathy with calcifications and cysts) is an autosomal recessive disorder linked to a mutation in the SNORD118 gene, which has the particularity of presenting the same neurological (neuro-radiological and clinical) characteristics, but without associating the others. ophthalmological and systemic disorders. It constitutes the differential radiological diagnosis of Coats plus syndrome. In this, the collection of medical data of French pediatric cases presenting this syndrome will allow a more detailed analysis of the differences and similarities between these two syndromes.

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 17 Mar 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 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?

Precise exploration of clinical and paraclinical description of paediatric Coats plus syndrome and LCC syndrome about the French pediatric patients with paediatric Coats plus syndrome, or their differential diagnosis of LCC syndrome (time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year). The study lists 10 primary outcomes in all. 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 Mar 2020.
