Trial summary

The study will include participants who were diagnosed with inflammatory disease and followed up at National Taiwan University Children's Hospital. The investigators will check the NUDT15 gene test, if the participant agrees to do an additional blood test. Read more about this study

About this study

The study will include participants who were diagnosed with inflammatory disease and followed up at National Taiwan University Children's Hospital. The investigators will check the NUDT15 gene test, if the participant agrees to do an additional blood test. The result of the gene test will be analyzed and compared with other clinical data.

Read the detailed description

In inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), thiopurines play an important role in maintenance of steroid-free remission but possess risk of life-threatening neutropenia, which is associated with gene variants of NUDT15 in Asians. In order to better incorporate thiopurines in clinical practice, the investigators aim to summarize the prevalence and impacts of NUDT15 variation in IBD in Taiwan. The study will include participants who were diagnosed with inflammatory disease and followed up at National Taiwan University Children's Hospital. The investigators will check the NUDT15 gene test, if the participant agrees to do an additional blood test. The result of the gene test will be analyzed and compared with other clinical data.

What is being measured

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

  1. Neutropenia

    Neutropenia is defined as absolute neutrophil count <1500/microL, and severe neutropenia is defined as absolute neutrophil count <500/microL.

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Inflammatory Bowel Diseases and Neutropenia, run by National Taiwan University Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Apr 2025. 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 Taiwan. 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 Wei-Ting Chen, MD (+886-2-2312-3456 ext. 270352, DBE98@tepch.gov.tw), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Neutropenia (time frame: 2 years). 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 Apr 2025.
