About this study

In this study, the investigator plan to prescribe Methylprednisolone pulse therapy in Kawasaki disease patients with coronary artery lesions or aneurysm formation beyond acute stage to investigate the role for vasculitis of KD or regression of dilatation.

Read the detailed description

Kawasaki disease is the most common systemic vasculitis in children. Coronary artery aneurysms may develop in 20-25% of untreated patients. Intravenous immune globulin (IVIG) can reduce coronary-artery aneurysms to 3-5%. Numerous studies and clinical trials had pointed out that corticosteroid treatment (pulse therapy or not) could lower the incidence of coronary artery abnormality in high-risk KD patients. However, the therapeutic effect of corticosteroid in KD patients with aneurysm formation after acute stage was never mentioned. There is no effective treatment for aneurysm formation available in KD after acute stage. Methylprednisolone pulse therapy (MP pulse) was used for treatment of KD during acute stage since more than 20 years ago. MP pulse plus IVIG seems not benefit for KD patients but benefit for IVIG resistant KD patients or for high-risk group of CAL formation/ IVIG resistance group. MP pulse therapy is well document used in autoimmune disease vasculitis such as SLE, rheumatoid arthritis, dermatomyosis...etc. Taking together, MP pulse is effective and safe for KD patients during acute stage. In this study, the investigators plan to use MP pulse in KD patients with CAL or aneurysm formation beyond acute stage to investigate the role of vasculitis of KD or regression of dilatation.

Methods: The investigators conducted a prospective study of methylprednisolone pulse therapy (MP pulse) for KD patients with coronary aneurysm or dilatation formation. The investigators will enroll these patients to receive methylprednisolone pulse (MP pulse, 30mg/kg, Max:1g/day for continue 3 days) for treatment. Together with other anti-inflammatory oral medicine including monteleukast, Dextromethorphan(DXM), prednisolone, and ketotifen as supplementary treatment.

The specific aim of this study is the regression of coronary artery aneurysm after MP pulse therapy.

Under the hypothesis and specific aim, the investigators plan to do in the following 3 years:

  1. During the 1st year, the investigators will enroll for 5-10 cases for safety surveys including blood pressure monitoring, inflammatory markers, liver function, renal function, electrolyte imbalance, growth problems as Phase I study.
  2. In the 2nd and 3rd year of this study, the investigators will enroll for 20-30 cases for an effective survey as Phase II study.

Results from this study will help clinicians to treat aneurysm formation or coronary artery dilatation in KD patients and reduce the activity limitation of patients, reduce the medical resource in those patients. The investigators may provide the first treatment for aneurysm in KD.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Methylprednisolone Injection in people with Mucocutaneous Lymph Node Syndrome, run by Chang Gung Memorial Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Aug 2020. 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 Taiwan. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Ho-Chang Kuo, MD; PhD (+886-7-7317123 ext. 8320, erickuo48@yahoo.com.tw), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events and physical effects of Methylprednisolone pulse therapy in Kawasaki disease patients with coronary artery aneurysms (time frame: 4 weeks from enrollment). The study lists 42 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 11 Aug 2020.
