About this study

Official title: Efficacy and Tolerance of Therapeutic Apheresis in Paediatric Neurology: a Retrospective French Multicenter Study

After developing in pediatric hematology and nephrology, therapeutic apheresis is increasingly used in pediatric neurology despite a sparse level of evidence.

There are a few retrospective series with a small number of patients, concerning mainly autoimmune diseases (encephalitis, myasthenia gravis, polyradiculoneuritis).

The objective of this work is to study therapeutic apheresis (including plasma exchange and immunoadsorption) among french neuropediatric tertiary centers and to prove that this treatment modality is effective and well tolerated in pediatric neurology diseases.

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 2 years

  2. Incidence of adjuvant treatments

    Incidence of adjuvant treatments (corticosteroid therapy, immunoglobulins, immunosuppressants),

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 2 years

  3. Incidence of hospitalization in intensive care

    Incidence of hospitalization in intensive care, intubation rate

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 2 years

  4. Description of the therapeutic apharesis modalities

    number of procedures

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 2 years

  5. Description of the therapeutic apharesis modalities

    exchanged volume (in plasma volume percentage) for each procedure

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 2 years

  6. Description of the therapeutic apharesis modalities

    type of separation et number of participants with ttt-related advesre events

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 2 years

  7. Description of the therapeutic apharesis modalities

    type of replacement solution (isotonic saline, albumin, fresh frozen plasma)

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 2 years

  8. Number of participitants with treatment-related adverse events

    rate of arterial hypotension (< age standards and and requiring isotonic saline bolus, for each patient and for procedure)

    Measured: during procedures

    rate of infections related catheter (for each patient)

    Measured: during procedures

  13. Number of participitants with treatment-related adverse events

    rate of allergics reactions (for each patient and for each procedure)

    Measured: during procedures

  14. Number of participitants with treatment-related adverse events

    rate of anemia (Hb < 7,0 g/dL, for each patient)

    Measured: during procedures

  15. Number of participitants with treatment-related adverse events

    rate of transfusion (for each patient)

    Measured: during procedures

  16. Number of participitants with treatment-related adverse events

    rate of haemostasis disorder (platelets < 100 <G/L ; TQ < 40 % ; fibrinogen < 1 G/L ; (for each patient and for each procedure)

    Measured: during procedures

  17. Number of participitants with treatment-related adverse events

    rate of death

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Apheresis Related Complication, run by University Hospital, Montpellier 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 3 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 12 Apr 2022. 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?

global neurological efficacy of therapeutic apheresis as assessed (time frame: through study completion, an average of 2 years). 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 12 Apr 2022.
