Hyper IgD Syndrome clinical trials

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.

NCT ID: NCT01568736 Withdrawn - Clinical trials for Mevalonate Kinase Deficiency

B7 Coreceptor Molecules in Hyper IgD Syndrome Form of Mevalonate Kinase Deficiency

HIDS-MKD

Start date: March 2012
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The hyper IgD syndrome (HIDS) is an inflammatory disease caused by mevalonate kinase deficiency. There is no cure, and available treatments of HIDS febrile episodes have shown limited clinical efficacy. The development of effective interventions for HIDS is limited by our poor understanding of the disease. The goal of the study is to better characterize the inflammatory response during HIDS episodes and to determine the relationship between this response and blood and urine markers of mevalonate kinase deficiency. This knowledge will help us learn more about the cause of the disease and should lead to the identification of new disease biomarkers that can be used to evaluate clinical efficacy in future therapeutic trials. The primary hypothesis is that the costimulatory B7 glycoprotein abnormalities identified in the murine MKD model will be recapitulated in sera obtained from human HIDS patients, either before, during or after febrile episodes. The secondary hypothesis is that B7 glycoprotein molecule levels will correlate with clinical symptomatic severity score, other known biomarkers of HIDS, markers of inflammation and or markers of isoprenoid metabolism.
