The Functional Consequences of the CTNS-deletion for the TRPV1-receptor in

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Cystinosis is a rare autosomal recessive disorder, characterized by the abnormal accumulation of cystine in the lysosomes. Cystinosis is mostly caused by mutations in the cystinosin gene (CTNS). The major mutation, which is present in almost 50% of the cystinosis patients, is a 57-kb deletion. This deletion removes the first 9 exons and a part of exon 10 of the CTNS gene. Exon 10 of the CTNS gene is a upstream 5' region that encodes for the CARKL gene and also for the first two noncoding exons of the transient receptor potential channel, vanilloid subfamily member 1 (TRPV1) gene.

TRPV1 belongs to the transient receptor potential (TRP) superfamily of cation channels. TRPV1 is primarily expressed in sensory nerves and is activated by heating (>43°C) and a wide range of chemical stimuli. One of these chemical stimuli is capsaicin, the pungent ingredient in hot chilli peppers. The effect of binding of the exogenous ligand capsaicin with the TRPV1 receptor is well known to provoke the release of a number of bioactive substances including calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP). These substances, in turn, act on target cells in the surrounding tissue such as mast cells, immune cells and vascular smooth muscle cells. The resulting response is characterized by redness and warmth (secondary to vasodilatation), swelling (secondary to plasma extravasation) and allodynia (i.e. hypersensitivity to heat and touch secondary to alterations in the excitability of primary sensory neurons).

The present study wants to test the following hypotheses:

(i) The DBF response to topical applied capsaicin is decreased in cystinosis patients, compared to matched control subjects.

(ii) The skin sensitivity response after topical applied capsaicin is decreased in cystinosis patients, compared to matched control subjects.

(iii) The temperature sensitivity is decreased in cystinosis patients, compared to matched control subjects.

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
