About this study

Dermatomyositis (DM) is a highly heterogeneous autoimmune disease characterized by rash and myasthenia. Beside these, respiratory involvement is one of the common complications of DM. Interstitial lung disease (ILD) occur in approximately 90% of patients with DM, part of them may manifest rapidly progressive-interstitial lung disease (rp-ILD), which progresses into respiratory failure that is difficult to correct and leads to death. Early identification of rp-ILD high risk group is of great significance to improve the prognosis of patients and to conduct following clinical studies. A simple, easy, convenient and reliable diagnostic tool has not yet acquired till now.

MSG-Jiangsu, short for Myositis Study Group-Jiangsu, was founded by department of rheumatology and immunology of eighteen tertiary hospitals. Clinical Research on Advanced Warning Factors Of Respiratory Injury in Dermatomyositis (CRAWFORD) as a multicenter observational cohort study was started at Jun 1, 2020. Our cohort plan to recruit 1,000 adult inpatients. What's more, prognostic data from these DM patients were obtained by following up for 1 year. At the same time, clinical data and auxiliary examination results of the baseline DM patients were analyzed to look for factors that are associated with outcomes. Then, regression analysis of influencing factors will help us to set up a multi-factor weighted score to forecast the prognosis of DM patients. Finally, Biological specimen from patients at baseline are used to look for biomarkers that predict prognosis by RNA-sequencing, whole exon sequencing, proteomic screening and so on.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Dermatomyositis and Respiratory Injury, run by The First Affiliated Hospital with Nanjing Medical University at 1 site in China.

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 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

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?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

death (time frame: within 12 months after disease oneset). 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 NCT04747652, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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.
