Trial summary

Serum creatinine kinase (CK) level varies with age, gender, race and physical activity. For these reasons there is no normal serum CK level. Many pathological situations cause hyperCKemia, such as neuromuscular disorders (muscular dystrophy, inflammatory myositis, mitochondrial myopathy) and multiple systemic causes.

About this study

Serum creatinine kinase (CK) level varies with age, gender, race and physical activity. For these reasons there is no normal serum CK level. Many pathological situations cause hyperCKemia, such as neuromuscular disorders (muscular dystrophy, inflammatory myositis, mitochondrial myopathy) and multiple systemic causes. The diagnostic approach to pauci or asymtomatic hyperCKemia can therefore be difficult and lead to multiple, and sometimes invasive tests, such as muscle biopsy. This study aims to describe the diagnoses associated with persistent elevation of serum creatine kinase and to precise the role of the muscule biopsy.

What is being measured

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

  1. Diagnosis

    The final diagnosis, as written in the medical record at the end of the investigations in the ward of internal medicin, responsible for the elevation of creatine kinase between: inflammatory myositis, mitochondrial myopathy, muscular dystrophy, non neuromuscular pathology

    Measured: at the end of all investigations, an average of 12 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Muscle biopsy

    Among the patients who underwent a muscle biopsy, number of anormal biopsies that contributed to make the final diagnosis responsible of the elevation of creatine kinase

    Measured: at the end of all investigations, an average of 12 months

  2. Clinical presentation

    association between the initial clinical presentation and the final diagnosis

    Measured: at the end of all investigations, an average of 12 months

  3. Paraclinical presentation

    association between the initial paraclinical presentation and the final diagnosis

    Measured: at the end of all investigations, an average of 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Creatine Kinase and Muscular Diseases, run by Central Hospital, Nancy, France at 1 site in France.

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 3 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 25 Jun 2021. 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 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?

Diagnosis (time frame: at the end of all investigations, an average of 12 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 25 Jun 2021.
