About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis for Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF1), Emphasizing on the Molecular Aspects

Neurofibromatosis 1 (NF1) is a multisystem disorders characterized by skin abnormalities, such as café-au-lait spots and neurofibromas, learning disabilities, skeletal anomalies and vascular complications. Experience learns that this disorder is a great burden for patients. NF1 is an autosomal dominant disorder with 50% risk of transmission. The penetrance is nearly 100%, but the expression varies greatly even within families, which makes it nearly impossible to predict severity in offspring. Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) is a reproductive option for couples at risk of transmitting NF1 to their offspring. We perform a retrospective and observational multicentric study in the Maastricht University Medical Center, the University Hospital of Brussel and Strasbourg University Hospital. Our specific (and first) goal is to evaluate the molecular aspects of PGD for NF1 in an international cohort of couples requesting PGD for NF1.

About 50% of the patients with NF1 have a de novo mutation that can complicate development of a PGD test. Earlier studies from 1990 and 1992 have shown that de novo NF1 mutations usually occur on the paternal allele. We want to confirm these findings with collected data from our cohort. The high incidence of de novo mutations results in a higher chance of finding mosaicism in patients or their parents. As a result of this, it can become apparent during PGD test preparation that PGD treatment is no longer possible or indicated. The investigators will evaluate these aspects of PGD for NF1 in our cohort.

They are also interested, as a second goal, in other aspects of PGD treatment for NF1, such as the success rate in thier cohort. They expect the success rate to be the same as for other autosomal dominant disorders

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Neurofibromatosis Type 1, run by University Hospital, Strasbourg, 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 3 inclusion and 2 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 16 Oct 2024. 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?

Study of the molecular aspects of PGD for NF1 in a large European cohort. (time frame: Files analysed retrospectively from from January 1, 2004 to June 30, 2021 will be examined]). 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 16 Oct 2024.
