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 Any age
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Study population: Because the influencing factors and pathological mechanisms of PS/NSEVA patients are intricate, there are many controversies regarding the relationship between the SLC26A4 gene, the degree of hearing loss experienced by PS/NSEVA patients, and the relationship between inner ear imaging and audiology.

Who may be able to join

  • Patients with Enlarged Vestibular Aqueduct;
  • Patients with hearing loss;
  • Patients with results of SLC26A4 sequencing;

Who cannot join

  • Subjects will be excluded from this study if any of the following are present:
  • Audiometric data is incomplete
  • Incomplete basic information
  • Patients who did not undergo HRCT

About this study

Official title: Clinical Phenotypic Characteristics of the Solute Carrier Family 26 Member 4 (SC26A4) Mutation in Pendred Syndrome/Nonsyndromic Enlarged Vestibular Aqueduct (PS/NSEVA)

The presence or absence of SC26A4, whether combined with Mondini malformation, and patient age, are important factors affecting the degree of hearing loss in the Chinese population.

Read the detailed description

To summarize the Solute Carrier Family 26 Member 4 (SLC26A4) mutation and clinical phenotypic characteristics of Pendred Syndrome/Nonsyndromic Enlarged Vestibular Aqueduct (PS/NSEVA) patients and provide evidence supporting the clinical diagnosis and genetic counseling of patients with PS/NSEVA. A retrospective cohort study for the Chinese population is needed.

What participants receive

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

Study groups in NCT05970445
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Patients with enlarged vestibular aqueductThis study will analyze the SLC26A4 mutation, and audiological and imaging characteristics of PS/NSEVA to summarize the clinical manifestations of PS/NSEVA patients. The study also will analyze the effects of SLC26A4 mutation and inner ear imaging on the degree of hearing loss in PS/NSEVA patients to provide predictive measures for the genetic diagnosis and clinical phenotype of PS/NSEVA. Finally, the effects of sex and age on the degree of hearing loss in patients with PS/NSEVA will be analyzed to provide insight on PS/NSEVA pathogenesis.

What is being measured

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

  1. SLC26A4 sequencing

    Extraction from patient clinical information database and secondary use. From each patient included in the study, 3 ml of peripheral blood was collected and the DNA extracted for the diagonosis in the past.

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 0.5 year

  2. High-resolution computed tomography of the temporal bone

    Extraction from patient clinical information database and secondary use. High-resolution computed tomography of the temporal bone is used to measure the width of the vestibular aqueduct (VA) in the left and right ears to determine whether other inner ear malformations exist.

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 0.5 year

  3. Hearing test

    Extraction from patient clinical information database and secondary use. The Auditory Steady State Response test is conducted to evaluate the degree of hearing loss.

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 0.5 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hearing Loss and Pendred Syndrome, run by Chinese PLA General 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 3 inclusion and 4 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 23 Aug 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?

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?

SLC26A4 sequencing (time frame: through study completion, an average of 0.5 year). The study lists 3 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 23 Aug 2023.
