Natural History Study of Patients With Excess Androgen
This study will evaluate and gather information in patients with genetic causes of too much androgen (male-like hormone) in order to better understand the effects of too much androgen and describe problems associated with it. Too much androgen in childhood, if untreated, results in rapid growth and early puberty with early cessation of growth and short stature in adulthood.
Official registry: https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT00250159 · Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) · enrollment listed as 3,000
What this phase means
This is an observational study. You are not assigned a new experimental drug. Researchers measure what already happens in your care or in daily life.
Phase labels are FDA/ICH categories applied to the registry Phase field. They are not a finding that this study succeeded.
What the registry says happens
This listing is observational (StudyType). The registry does not assign a new experimental drug as the study intervention.
They plan to enroll about 3,000 people at 2 sites. Taking part typically means study visits and measurements plus check-ins.
Official title (unrewritten)
Natural History Study of Patients With Excess Androgen
Primary outcome (registry wording): To elucidate a comprehensive phenotypic profile for patients with CAH and FMPP
Who it is for (from inclusion criteria)
Ages 1 Day to 99 Years
Males, ages 0 - 99 with known or suspected FMPP or
Patients (males and females, ages 0 - 99) with known or suspected (based on hormonal, clinical and/or genetic testing) CAH of any type
Patients with excess androgen of unknown etiology or
Relatives of patients in this protocol
Who the registry excludes
Females with isolated polycystic ovary syndrome. If, following a diagnostic work-up, a patient is determined to have PCOS as the only cause of her hyperandrogenism; she will no longer be followed on this protocol
Patients with significant non-endocrine medical conditions
Females who are pregnant at the time of initial enrollment
We will investigate the clinical manifestations and molecular genetic defects of heritable urologic malignant disorders. Families with urologic malignancy with known or suspected genetic basis will be enrolled.
This protocol will evaluate patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and their relatives to learn more about how the disease develops and changes over time. It will also study genetic factors that make a person susceptible to SLE.
This study is designed to explore the genetics and pathophysiology of diseases presenting with intermittent fever, including familial Mediterranean fever, TRAPS, hyper-IgD syndrome, and related diseases. The following individuals may be eligible for this natural history study: 1) patients with known or suspected familial Mediterranean fever, TRAPS, hyper-IgD syndrome or related disorders; 2) relatives of these patients; 3) healthy, normal volunteers 7 years of age or older.
