Trial summary

ABSTRACT Introduction Residual or absent oxidase function in peripheral neutrophils may point to an inborn defect of neutrophil function - chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) - whereas low to normal oxidative burst capacity has been linked to variants in various members of the NADPH-complex.

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 Up to 18 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult

Study population: The study population will include pediatric patients diagnosed with IBD (right from the diagnosis or anytime during the disease course) from three different gastroenterology units in Bucharest, Romania. Screening tests for an imunological disease (neutrophil oxidative burst, lymphocyte subsets) will be performed in included patients and healthy controls by the home institution.

Who may be able to join

  • Subjects:
  • age under 18 years;
  • confirmed diagnosis of IBD fulfilling standard diagnosis criteria (clinical, radiological, endoscopical, histological features)
  • parental/guardian consent for study enrollment
  • Controls:
  • Healthy age-gender matched controls

Who cannot join

  • IBD associated to an already defined monogenic defect
  • Diagnosis of IBD uncertain
  • HIV/TB positive

About this study

ABSTRACT Introduction Residual or absent oxidase function in peripheral neutrophils may point to an inborn defect of neutrophil function - chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) - whereas low to normal oxidative burst capacity has been linked to variants in various members of the NADPH-complex.

Aims To assess the clinical value of routinely measuring oxidative burst activity of granulocytes in pediatric patients diagnosed with very early onset IBD (VEO-IBD) and late onset IBD.

Objectives To investigate possible correlations between neutrophil function and IBD disease activity and to inquire the presence of genetic variants in those with low to absent oxidative burst. To identify the rate of monogenic VEO-IBD in our cohort.

Materials and Methods The proposal constitutes a collaborative effort among Romanian pediatric tertiary care centers to examine the value of assessing neutrophil function in all pediatric IBD patients. Children aged <18 years diagnosed with Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis or IBD-undetermined and age-matched healthy controls are recruited. A DHR flow cytometry assay is performed in included subjects and controls. Reduced or absent burst activity will lead to genetic testing in search of overt immunodeficiency or susceptibility variants. All VEO-IBD patients will have an immunological work-up in search of a primary immunodeficiency.

Expected Results We anticipate to include a number of 150 pediatric patients with IBD over 12 months from the three pediatric gastroenterology units in Bucharest, Romania. We expect to identify an overall diminished neutrophil function in IBD patients versus controls and possible variants in the NADPH-complex genes.

What participants receive

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

  • PhagoburstDiagnostic test

    The main objective is to perform oxidative burst activity in pediatric patients with a definitive diagnosis of IBD and compare them with healthy controls.

  • Lymphocytes subsetsDiagnostic test

    To determine lymphocytes subsets in patients with suspicion of IEI

  • Genetic testingDiagnostic test

    Perform targeted genetic testing in those with reduced to absent oxidative activity in search of PIDs and susceptibility variants

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Chronic Granulomatous Disease, run by National Institute for Mother and Child Health Alessandrescu Rusescu at 1 site in Romania.

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 6 inclusion and 3 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 8 Dec 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 Romania. 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 Alexis Virgil Cochino, MD, PhD (+40723193648, alexis_virgil@yahoo.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Oxidative burst activity in IBD patients (time frame: 12 months). 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?
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 8 Dec 2023.
