About this study

Tyrosine hydroxylase autoantibodies impair sympathetic innervation leading to keratitis. In this study, the investigators have shown the significant association between severity of keratitis and presence of tyrosine hydroxylase autoantibodies.

Read the detailed description

Sixteen consecutive cases diagnosed with APS-1associated keratitis were included in this study. Each patient underwent complete ophthalmologic examination. Blood was obtained from each patient for testing the endocrine functions and determination of a panel of autoantibodies to the following: Side-chain cleavage enzyme (SSC), Aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase (AADC), Tryptophan hydroxylase (TPH),Tyrosine hydroxylase ( TH), 17 α-hydroxylase (17α-OH), Cytochrome P450 1A2 (CYP1A2), 21-hydroxylase (21-OH), Potassium channel regulatory protein (KCNRG), Tyrosine phosphatase-like protein IA-2 (IA-2), Glutamic acid decarboxylase 65 (GAD65), NACT Leucine-Rich-Repeat-Protein 5 (NALP5), and Interleukin (IL) 22.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Detection of autoantibodies in people with Autoimmune Polyglandular Syndrome Type I and Autoimmune Keratitis, run by The Eye Center and The Eye Foundation for Research in Ophthalmology.

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

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?

To report the correlation between autoantibodies with the severity keratitis in patients Autoimmune polyglandular syndrome type 1 (APS-1). (time frame: 3 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 5 May 2020.
