Pharmacoepidemiologic General Research Extension: PGRx-sIBM Study

April 14, 2016 updated by: La-ser Europe Limited

Sporadic inclusion body myositis (sIBM) is a rare idiopathic inflammatory myopathy characterized by chronic proximal leg and distal arm asymmetric muscle weakness. Its prevalence is estimated between 10 and 100 cases per million, over the age of 50. Little is known about the natural course of the disease, the delay between onset and diagnosis, the patterns of disease management and treatment in routine practice, as well as the burden for patients.

The objectives of the PGRx-sIBM study will be to describe:

  • The epidemiology of the disease (estimation of the prevalence, age at onset, delay between onset and diagnosis, diagnosis process, etc.)
  • The patterns of disease management and treatment in routine practice
  • The burden of the disease for patients and their informal caregiver, as well as the quality of life of patients
  • The burden of the disease for informal caregivers

This will be an observational (non-interventional), cross-sectional (transversal) study.

Study setting The PGRx-sIBM will take place in France, Italy, Switzerland and Spain. Recruitment centers will be public and private practices and hospitals from urban or rural areas. In each recruitment center, at least one physician will act as a study investigator, in charge of identifying and recruiting patients.

Inclusion of patients

Patients will be included by their specialized physician (neurologist, Internal Medicine) during a regular outpatient visit, provided that they meet the following inclusion criteria:

  • The patient has been diagnosed with sIBM, as per the physician judgement and regardless of the date of diagnosis
  • Male or female
  • Age ≥ 45 years old
  • The patient does regularly live in the country of inclusion
  • The patient or his/her proxy can read and respond to a telephone interview
  • The patient agrees to participate

Exclusion criteria will be:

  • The patient refuses to participate or the written Consent Form is not signed
  • The patient or his/her proxy cannot be reached by telephone. All eligible patients will be invited to participate in the study, during a 3 to 6-month period of time.

The target sample size will be of 190 patients (≈15-20 in Switzerland, ≈50 in Spain, ≈50 in Italy and ≈70-75 in France).

Contacts and Locations

This section provides the contact details for those conducting the study, and information on where this study is being conducted.

Study Contact

Study Contact

The name and contact information for the person who can answer enrollment questions for a clinical study. Each location where the study is being conducted may also have a specific contact, who may be better able to answer those questions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

45 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Study Major Dates

Study Start

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.
May 1, 2016

Primary Completion (Anticipated)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.

Study Completion (Anticipated)

Study Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention/treatment to collect final data for the primary outcome measures, secondary outcome measures, and adverse events (that is, the last participant's last visit). The "anticipated" study completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the study completion date.
