Williams-Beuren 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.

Quantification of Elastin Markers Synthesis in Williams-Beuren Syndrome and 7q11.23 Micro-duplication Syndrome

ELAST7

Start date: October 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Introduction: Williams-Beuren syndrome is a rare genetic disorder caused by a 7q11.23 microdeletion. The phenotype associates vasculopathy (arterial stenosis, hypertension), dimorphism and intellectual disability. Microdeletion includes several genes: ELN encodes for elastin and the haplo-insufficiency (only 1 functional copy) causes vasculopathy. The primary objective is to quantify plasma and urinary levels of elastin peptides in Williams-Beuren patients and 7q11.23 micro-duplication syndrome patients in order to correlate the levels of these markers with the number of copies of ELN gene (proportional positive relationship "gene copy number - circulating levels of markers) Materials and Methods: This prospective study will be carried out in Lyon at the "Hôpital Femme-Mère-Enfant" for 2 years. 3 groups of patients will be studied: Williams-Beuren patients (N=20), micro-duplication 7q11.23 syndrome patients (N=10) and healthy patients (N=60). Subjects will be followed for 1 day. Clinical examination (weight, height, blood pressure) and biological sample collection (blood and urine sample) will be carry out for Williams Beuren and micro-duplication 7q11.23 patients group. A large majority of visits will be part of patients' usual care. A large part of patients are systematically seen in consultation once a year. For healthy group, only biological sample collection will be carry out. The PE concentrations will be assessed and compared between the three groups of patients.
