About this study

This study is a observational study conducted through recruiting X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD) patients, to build a comprehensive evaluation and long-term follow-up platform for X-ALD patients, and to provide a theoretical basis for the treatment and management of X-ALD patients.

Read the detailed description

In this study, X-ALD patients will be selected as study participants. Through a longitudinal collection of genetic, imaging and clinical symptoms data of the patients and carriers. The purpose of this study is to build a comprehensive evaluation and long-term follow-up platform for X-ALD patients. Through the long-term follow-up of imaging and clinical symptoms progress and outcome of X-ALD patients, combined with genetic data, we will improve the relationships between genes and phenotypes, and explore the deep insight in the pathophysiological mechanism of X-ALD, to provide a theoretical basis for the treatment and management of X-ALD patients.

What participants receive

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

Study groups in NCT05939232
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
X-ALDX-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD) patients.
Carrier-control (CC)Carriers of mutation in gene encoding ATP-binding cassette subfamily D member 1 (ABCD1), who have no X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy and are matched with the X-ALD group according to age, sex and education.

What is being measured

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

  1. Epidemiological characteristics in Chinese X-ALD patients

    Constructing a Chinese X-ALD epidemiological information database by collecting epidemiological information from X-ALD patients.

    Measured: 5 years

  2. Clinical characteristics in Chinese X-ALD patients

    Constructing a Chinese X-ALD clinical sympotoms information database by collecting clinical symptoms information from X-ALD patients.

    Measured: 5 years

  3. Imaging characteristics in Chinese X-ALD patients

    Constructing a Chinese X-ALD patient's head MRI information database by collecting head MRI information from X-ALD patients.

    Measured: 5 years

  4. The disease development in Chinese X-ALD patients

    Record the progress of patients' clinical symptoms from baseline through 5-year follow-up.

    Measured: 5 years

  5. New pathogenic loci of Chinese X-ALD patients in whole genome sequencing/whole exon sequencing

    To find and identify new pathogenic loci of X-ALD in whole genome sequencing/whole exon sequencing through comparing the differences of whole genome sequencing/whole exon sequencing between X-ALD patients and carrier-control individuals.

    Measured: 5 years

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Etiology of Chinese X-ALD patients

    Etiological factors,including genetic and environmental etiological factors, will be explored by genomic analysis, lasso regression, multiple logistic regression, and cox proportional hazards regression.

    Measured: 5 years

  2. The change of imagin features in Chinese X-ALD patients

    Record the change of the patient's head MRI from baseline through follow-up every year.

    Measured: day 1, year 1, year 2, year 3, year 4, year 5

  3. The associations between genetic factors and clinical characteristics of Chinese X-ALD patients

    β coefficient and 95%CI values in linear regression, OR and 95%CI values in logistic regression analysis, and HR and 95%CI values in cox proportional hazards regression analysis for the associations between genetic factors and clinical characteristics of X-ALD.

    Measured: 5 years

  4. The associations between genetic factors and outcomes of Chinese X-ALD patients

    β coefficient and 95%CI values in linear regression, OR and 95%CI values in logistic regression analysis, and HR and 95%CI values in cox proportional hazards regression analysis for the associations between genetic factors and outcomes of X-ALD.

    Measured: 5 years

  5. The associations between genetic factors and imaging characteristics of Chinese X-ALD patients

    β coefficient and 95%CI values in linear regression, OR and 95%CI values in logistic regression analysis, and HR and 95%CI values in cox proportional hazards regression analysis for the associations between genetic factors and imaging characteristics of X-ALD.

    Measured: 5 years

  6. The associations between genetic factors and the long-term changes of imaging characteristics of Chinese X-ALD patients

    β coefficient and 95%CI values in linear regression, OR and 95%CI values in logistic regression analysis, and HR and 95%CI values in cox proportional hazards regression analysis for the associations between genetic factors and the long-term changes of imaging characteristics of X-ALD.

    Measured: 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of X-linked Adrenoleukodystrophy, run by Beijing Tiantan Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 10 inclusion and 8 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Jul 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 China. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Yilong Wang, MD, PhD (0086-010-67092222, yilong528@aliyun.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Epidemiological characteristics in Chinese X-ALD patients (time frame: 5 years). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. 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 11 Jul 2023.
