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 5 years and older
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Study population: Subjects more than 5 years to no limit maximum age, both sex, which have presented the protocol interest SAE (vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia, Guillain-Barré syndrome, Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis, Transverse Myelitis) can be arrolled. First-degree relatives, primarily parents and/or siblings, will have biological samples collected and stored to be used for future genomic sequencing, if genetic alterations are identified in their relatives who had SAE.

Who may be able to join

  • Sign the ICF by the subject or the subject's legally acceptable representative;
  • Sign the ICF by the participant's family member;
  • Proven vaccination with one of the vaccines for COVID-19 available by the PNI, containing information on the date of application, type (manufacturer) of vaccine received and batch (desirable);
  • Meet the minimum criteria for a level of certainty 3, 2 or 1 in Brighton Collaboration for vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia as described in 3.2.1.1 OR,
  • Meet the minimum criteria for a level of certainty 3, 2 or 1 in Brighton Collaboration for Guillain-Barré syndrome as described in 3.2.1.3 OR,
  • Meet the minimum criteria for a level of certainty 3, 2 or 1 in Brighton Collaboration for Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis as described in 3.2.1.4 OR,
  • Meet the minimum criteria for a level of certainty 3, 2 or 1 in Brighton Collaboration for Transverse Myelitis as described in 3.2.1.5 OR,
  • Be classified in the causality categories adopted by the PNI/MS, namely: A1, B1 or B2.

Who cannot join

  • Reports in which it is not possible to retrieve the clinical/laboratory data necessary for evaluation, due to inadequate filling of the notification or unavailability of data;
  • Cases of death in which there are no samples available and/or suitable for carrying out the analyzes defined in the protocol;
  • Cases in which another diagnosis is made for the adverse event of interest, being discarded as a SAE;
  • Cases classified in causality categories (PNI/MS) as A2, A3, A4, C or D;
  • Refusal to sign the informed consent form;

About this study

This protocol proposes to investigate genetic factors that may be involved in the pathogenesis of adverse events of interest with selected covid-19 vaccines: vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia, and neurological adverse events, such as Guillain-Barré syndrome, acute disseminated encephalomyelitis and transverse myelitis, with the intention of identifying useful biomarkers in identifying people at higher risk, thus reducing the occurrence of these serious adverse events (SAE).

Read the detailed description

Participants higher than 5 years old with no maximum age limit and both sexes, who had a serious adverse event after vaccination against Covid-19, such as Guillain-Barré syndrome, vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia, transverse myelitis and Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis. Parents, siblings and/or sons of cases with SAE will have biological samples collected and stored; depending on the result of the study, they may have their samples analyzed later.

What is being measured

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

  1. Genomic evaluation

    Identify if any genetic marker is envolved in the serious adverse event pathogenesis induced by covid-19 vaccination.

    Measured: March, 2023.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Vaccine-induced Thrombotic Thrombocytopenia Syndrome and Guillain-Barre Syndrome, run by The Immunobiological Technology Institute (Bio-Manguinhos) / Oswaldo Cruz Foundation (Fiocruz) at 1 site in Brazil.

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 8 inclusion and 5 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Jun 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 Brazil. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Patrícia de Oliveira, MD (+55213882-2013, patricia.mouta@bio.fiocruz.br), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Genomic evaluation (time frame: March, 2023.). 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 13 Jun 2023; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
