About this study

Official title: CHronic Nonbacterial Osteomyelitis International Registry (CHOIR)

The objective of the study is to establish a prospective disease registry for chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO)/chronic nonbacterial osteomyelitis (CNO) in order to investigate the natural history of the disease and the responses of patients to different clinical managements over 10 years.

Read the detailed description

Chronic nonbacterial osteomyelitis (CNO) is an autoinflammatory bone disease that mainly affects children and adolescents. Clinical presentations range from mild and sometimes limited unifocal disease to severe, chronically active or recurrent inflammation of multiple bones. The latter is referred to as chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO). Here we will use the term "CNO" to refer to the entire spectrum of this disease. CNO can be complicated by vertebral compression fractures, kyphosis, and leg length discrepancy when it is not recognized early or treated adequately. The diagnosis of CNO is made by excluding alternatives in the differential diagnosis including malignancy (leukemia, lymphoma, and primary or metastatic bone tumors), Langerhans cell histiocytosis, and infection. Clinical assessment in conjunction with serum inflammatory parameters and imaging studies, particularly magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), are crucial for the diagnosis and monitoring of disease activity of CNO1.

Because of significant variation in clinical treatment practices among pediatric rheumatologists, standardized treatment regimens (consensus treatment plans, CTPs) have been developed within the Childhood Arthritis and Rheumatology Research Alliance (CARRA), a North American organization comprised of pediatric rheumatologists and researchers, for CNO patients with an NSAID-refractory course and/or with active spinal lesions2. These CTPs provide an opportunity for pediatric rheumatologists to conduct comparative effectiveness research on CNO through prospective data collection. CRMO/CNO workgroup is comprised of pediatric rheumatologists from North America as well as international colleagues who are interested in collaborating in CNO research. Furthermore, risk factors of severe disease have been described by Wipff et al. based on a large retrospective cohort study3. Their results may be validated by an independent prospective cohort study. To date, there has been only one prospective study on CNO since its first description in 19724. Therefore, we propose to establish this international registry of patients with CNO to accomplish above goals. Long-term outcomes of CNO remains unknown due to the lack of prospective study. It has been estimated that at least 50% of CNO patients continue to need medications for CNO during adulthood. Our study will collect the clinical data and provide valuable data to characterize the long-term outcomes.

What is being measured

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

  1. The change of CNO disease activity score

    Disease activity score is calculated as the sum of number of clinical lesion count, patient global assessment (0-10), physician global assessment (0-10)

    Measured: 3-6 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Total number of CNO lesions on MRI

    The total number of CNO lesions from MRI as previously described (Zhao, et al. J Rheum 2019) will be used to monitor response in a subset

    Measured: 3-6 months

  2. Safety monitoring

    Serious adverse events including infections that require IV antibiotics, malignancy, hematological, hepatic, dermatological side effects will be reported

    Measured: 5 years

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

Contact Yongdong (Dan) Zhao, MD, PhD (206-987-2000, crmoresearch@seattlechildrens.org), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The change of CNO disease activity score (time frame: 3-6 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04725422, which also lists 7 linked publications.

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 30 Jul 2024.
