Trial summary

Behçet's disease (BD) is a systemic vasculitis that affects, especially, young people. Although its etiology remains unexplained, data suggest that the inflammatory response during BD results from a disruption of the homeostasis of innate and adaptive immune responses in genetically predisposed people.

About this study

Official title: Understanding the Role of the Salivary Microbiota and Microbiota Associated to Mucosa in Behçet's Disease

Behçet's disease (BD) is a systemic vasculitis that affects, especially, young people.

Although its etiology remains unexplained, data suggest that the inflammatory response during BD results from a disruption of the homeostasis of innate and adaptive immune responses in genetically predisposed people. The microbiota could play a triggering role in BD, in particular the salivary and dental plaque microbiota. The aim of the Behçetbiot study is therefore to establish microbial profiles of dental plaque, pathological (on the mouth ulcer) and non-pathological mucous membrane, salivary and digestive and to compare them with control subjects not suffering from BD, related to the first degree, of the same socio-cultural level and to determine whether dysbiosis is correlated with a local and systemic pro-inflammatory response, by measuring salivary level of pro-inflammatory cytokines and blood level of CRP, fibrinogen, orosomucoïd and haptoglobin, and to compare them with controls.

Read the detailed description

All patients and their controls are sampled for stool, saliva, dantal plaque, oral mucosa, genital mucosa and blood during an annual follow-up visit or if they are hospitalised.

Plaque, oral mucosa, genital mucosa salivary and blood will be collected during an annual follow-up visit.

For stool samples, the collection material will be provided to the patient and they will be able to take the sample at home and bring it to the clinic, or send them via a carrier within 3 days.

All the samples related to the study will be taken in the internal medicine in Clermont-Ferrand (France) or Pitie Salpêtrière, department of internal medecine, Paris,France or ophthalmology departments in Clermont-Ferrand.

All sample will be stocked in biological center in Clermont-Ferrand before analyze.

Microbiota analyzes will be realise at M2iSH laboratoty, inflammatory cytokines will be analyze in Clermont-Ferrand immunology laboratory, and pro-inflammatory parameters will be analyse in biochimy laboratory in Clermont-Ferrand.

What is being measured

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

  1. Oral microbiota

    Establish microbial profiles (quantitative and qualitative via analysis of bacterial DNA sequences encoding 16S rRNA) of dental plaque, pathological (on the aphta) and non-pathological oral mucosa and and salivary and compared them to control without Behçet's disease matched for sex, diet and socio-cultural level.

    Measured: Day 0

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Intestinal microbiota

    Establish microbial profiles (quantitative and qualitative via analysis of DNA sequences encoding 16S rRNA) of the intestinal microbiota by studying feces and comparing them to controls without Behçet's disease, of the same sex, diet and socio-cultural level

    Measured: Day 0

  2. Short fatty acid

    Determination of short-chain fatty acids (HPLC technique) in the stools of Behçet patients and compare them to control patients without Behçet's disease, of the same sex, diet and socio-cultural level

    Measured: Day 0

  3. Pro-inflammatory cytokines

    Determination of blood and saliva levels of IL-1beta, IL-6, IL-17, IL21, IL-23, Il-10, IFN gamma and TNF alpha (ELISA technique or multiplexed assay) and compare them to patients without Behçet disease, of the same sex, diet and socio-cultural level.

    socio-cultural level

    Measured: Day 0

  4. genital microbiota

    Establish microbial profiles (quantitative and qualitative via analysis of DNA sequences encoding 16S rRNA) of the intestinal microbiota by studying feces and comparing them to controls without Behçet's disease, of the same sex, diet and socio-cultural level

    Measured: Day 0

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Behçet Disease and Physiopathology, run by University Hospital, Clermont-Ferrand at 2 sites 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 19 Sep 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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?

Oral microbiota (time frame: Day 0). 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 19 Sep 2024.
