Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 12 to 70 years
  • All sexes
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Study population: Primary care patients aged 12-70 years with the 100 highest scores based on our algorithm.

Who may be able to join

  • Age between 12 and 70 years
  • A total algorithm score that is within the highest 0.66% of the algorithm scores within a single general practitioner's clinic
  • Signed informed consent
  • Did not meet exclusion criteria during manual evaluation of the health care record

Who cannot join

  • Secondary causes of immunodeficiency as registered by ICPC codes for: multiple myeloma, HIV-infection, anorexia nervosa, bulimia, cystic fibrosis.
  • The presence of one of the following during manual screening of the health care record: nephrotic syndrome, current systemic chemotherapy and stage 3-4 liver cirrhosis will be excluded. This could not be done by the algorithm as there is no ICPC code available.

About this study

Rationale: Primary antibody deficiencies (PAD) encompass a group of rare heterogeneous diseases. The clinical presentation may vary widely, including infectious and autoimmune symptoms and increased risk of malignancy. Due to the rarity of the diseases and this wide array of symptoms there is often a delay in diagnosis, of up to 12 years on average1-4. Timely diagnosis of PAD reduces morbidity, mortality and health care costs as effective therapies are available. The currently available screening systems for the broader group of primary immunodeficiencies (PID) have been shown to have poor diagnostic performance5-10 and are time consuming. We have thus developed an algorithm to screen patient records in a primary care setting for risk factors specifically for PAD. Patients with a high risk may undergo a laboratory assessment and referral if necessary, thus reducing the diagnostic delay of PAD. The aim of the current study is to validate this algorithm.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Primary Antibody Deficiencies, run by UMC Utrecht at 1 site in Netherlands.

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 4 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 21 Feb 2023. 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 Netherlands. 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?

The percentage of high-risk patients with an eventual PAD diagnosis (time frame: measurement december 2022). 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 NCT05310604, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 21 Feb 2023.
