Trial summary

Cerebellar ataxias of late onset are of undetermined etiology in many cases. A new cause of late-onset cerebellar ataxia was discovered in January 2023 corresponding to an expansion of GAA triplets in intron 1 of the FGF14 gene. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Ataxia GAA-FGF14 - Descriptive Genetic and Clinical Study on Late Onset Ataxia Related to a GAA Expansion in the FGF14 Gene

Cerebellar ataxias of late onset are of undetermined etiology in many cases. A new cause of late-onset cerebellar ataxia was discovered in January 2023 corresponding to an expansion of GAA triplets in intron 1 of the FGF14 gene.

However, this cerebellar ataxia is still poorly known and requires further investigations to know its clinical phenotype and its evolution in order to propose a diagnosis and a genetic counseling adapted to patients and families. The objective of our study will be to describe the clinical and genotypic phenotype of patients with GAA-FGF14

Read the detailed description

The objective of our study will be to describe the clinical and genotypic phenotype of patients with GAA-FGF14. We wish to describe the precise clinical phenotype by detailing each patient's clinical examination, medical history, treatment history, frequency and symptomatology of episodes, MRI radiological data, otho-rihno-laryngeal examination data etc . We would also like to describe the precise genotype for each patient, specifying the number of GAA expansions and its characteristics.

What participants receive

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

  • Other

    no intervention is necessary. Clinical observation and clinical examination only.

What is being measured

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

  1. description of clinical symptoms

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 3 years

  2. description of genotype

    genotypic characterization of the GAA expansion

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Ataxia, Gait, run by Central Hospital, Nancy, 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 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 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 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

description of clinical symptoms (time frame: through study completion, an average of 3 years). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT05884086, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 1 Jun 2023.
