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 1 year to 16 years
  • All sexes
  • Child

Study population: Data of all those who had Plasma amino acid analyzed at the Biogenetic laboratory of Aga Khan University, symptomatic as well as asymptomatic children with suspicion of Inherited Metabolic Disorders (IMDs), from August 2019-August 2020 were included. Plasma amino acids analysis was performed using cation-exchange high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) on Biochrom 30+ model using lithium column diameter 4.6 mm and detected at 440/570 nm.

Who may be able to join

  • All plasma samples during 1 year received at Biogenetic Lab

Who cannot join

  • Subjects with age greater than 16 years

About this study

Official title: Utilizing Augmented Artificial Intelligence for Aminoacidopathies: Experience of Collaborative Laboratory Integrated Reporting From Pakistan

The objective of the study was to interpret metabolic profiles of plasma amino acid (PAA) and compare reference intervals (RI) of PAA data from Pakistan with data from other countries using Clinical Laboratory Integrated Reports (CLIR). One-year data (reference and cases data) of twenty-two PAA, analyzed by ion exchange high performance chromatography at Biochemical Genetics Laboratory (BGL) of Aga Khan University Pakistan, was compiled in a comma-separated values (.csv) file and uploaded on CLIR Software using AAQP (Amino Acid in Plasma) application for statistical analysis. Among total of 2081 PAA profiles, 92% (n=1913) were completely normal with all PAA values falling within the age-specific reference range. A concordance of 98.8% was noted between the reporting done by the BGL at AKU and then after applying CLIR tools.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Plasma amino acid assayDiagnostic test

    Plasma amino acid analysis was performed on all the blood samples received in biogenetics lab at Aga khan university, Karachi during one year period.

Study groups in NCT05437445
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Cases Datasubjects having abnormal plasma amino acid profiles with either one or more amino acid concentrations beyond (high or low) the locally defined age-specific reference ranges
Receives: Diagnostic Test: Plasma amino acid assay

What is being measured

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

  1. postanalytical interpretation of concentration of plasma leucin, isoleucine and valine in nmol/L using Clinical Laboratory Integrated Reports (CLIR)

    Clinical Laboratory Integrated Reports (CLIR, formerly Region 4 Stork) is a post-analytical software that compares the amino acid results against a large database of reference ranges, disease-specific cutoffs, and ratios of diagnostic markers. Among 168 subjects having abnormal PAA profiles in our lab, 10.1% were correctly classified as MSUD and 100% concordance with CLIR reporting.

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Inborn Errors of Metabolism, run by Aga Khan University Hospital, Pakistan at 1 site in Pakistan.

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 1 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 5 Jul 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 Pakistan. 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?

postanalytical interpretation of concentration of plasma leucin, isoleucine and valine in nmol/L using Clinical Laboratory Integrated Reports (CLIR) (time frame: 1 year). 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 5 Jul 2022.
