Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Fabry disease is a complex, multisystemic and clinically heterogeneous disease that commonly presents in childhood and is caused by deficient activity of the lysosomal enzyme alpha-galactosidaseA (α-gal A). Symptoms of Fabry disease in the pediatric population are well described. Symptoms can occur in early childhood, before age 5 years. Incidence estimations of Fabry disease vary widely. The true incidence is likely to be higher than originally thought, owing to the existence of milder variants of the disease. The purpose of this study is to assess the frequency of Fabry disease in children with early symptoms. Patients would benefit from early diagnosis, appropriate treatment, follow-up and surveillance. Early detection of Fabry patients would also benefit affected relatives, many of whom do not have a clear diagnosis of their clinical condition.

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

No older than 18 years (Child, Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Sampling Method

Probability Sample

Study Population

Patients with fabry disease-associated phenotypes in infancy, childhood and adolescence: pain in the hands and feet, angiokeratomas, hypohidrosis, corneal whorls, unexplained renal failure, unexplained hypertrophic myocardiopathy and unexplained early onset stroke.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients with fabry disease-associated phenotypes in infancy, childhood and adolescence: pain in the hands and feet, angiokeratomas, hypohidrosis, corneal whorls, unexplained renal failure, unexplained hypertrophic myocardiopathy and unexplained early onset stroke.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patient's parent(s) or legal guardian(s) are unable to understand the nature, scope, and possible consequences of the screening.

Screening population
Screening for Fabry disease with early symptoms
Diagnostic test: Screening for Fabry disease
A questionnaire specifically designed to assess Fabry disease-associated phenotypes in infancy, childhood and adolescence: pain in the hands and feet, angiokeratomas, hypohidrosis, corneal whorls, unexplained renal failure, unexplained hypertrophic myocardiopathy and unexplained early onset stroke. The questionnaire consisted mainly of quantitative, closed questions with pre- defined response options.The diagnosis of FD will be performed by standard procedures following international recommendations. These require the search for a deficiency of alphagalactosidase A activity on leucocytes in males and genetic analysis of the GLA gene in females (Germain et al. 2010). In females plasma Gb3, globotriaosyl- sphingosine (lyso-Gb3) will be measured for screening.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
The proportion of Fabry disease
Time Frame: at the enrollment
The proportion of Fabry Disease in a defined population at risk

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure

Time Frame
The proportion of Fabry disease in predefined sub-populations

Study record dates

These dates track the progress of study record and summary results submissions to ClinicalTrials.gov. Study records and reported results are reviewed by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to make sure they meet specific quality control standards before being posted on the public website.

Study Major Dates

Study Start (Anticipated)

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.

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.
