Neuromuscular Characterisation in Late Adolescent and Adult Cystinosis Patients

Recruiting
Conditions
Cystinosis
Registration Number
NCT05545774
Lead Sponsor
Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris
Brief Summary

The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the change in motor function of patients with cystinosis.

The secondary objectives of the study:

* assessment of the respiratory function;

* assessment of the muscle function;

* assessment of swallowing disorders;

* assessment radiologically of the muscular efficiency;

* assessment of lean mass / fat mass ratio;

* assessment of sleeping disorders;

* annual assessment of evolution of above functions.

All patients will be examined by experienced neuromuscular specialist (Pr Pascal Laforêt) and pulmonologist specialized in neuromuscular disorders (Pr Hélène Prigent). All evaluations will be performed in Raymond-Poincaré hospital (Teaching hospital of Assistance Publique - Hopitaux de Paris (APHP) and University of Paris-Saclay) neuromuscular center, coordinated by Pr Pascal Laforêt.

Detailed Description

This is a monocentric study. The enrollment will be performed as routine care in the department of neurology - neuromuscular center of Raymond Poincaré hospital (APHP).

Patients with cystinosis will be consecutively invited to participate in the study until 20 patients are included. This will avoid selection bias if any. For eligible non included patients, a specific non-identifying registry will be set-up with a very restricted number of variables indicative of disease severity at baseline, allowing for a comparison of included and non-included patients.

Participating cystinosis patients will be proposed to attend a one-day hospitalization. Evaluations will be performed during stable state upon baseline and during a follow-up visit 12 months later.

The study expected duration is 30 months with 18 months for patients' inclusion and 12 month-follow-up.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in motor function12 months

By the Motor Function Measure (MFM) quantitative scale to measure the functional capacities of motors (0-100%, higher scores mean better capacities).

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in vital capacity12 months

By spirometry. Higher value mean better outcome.

Change in swallowing function - time of swallowing12 months

By the time of swallowing 80 ml of water (normal = 3-4 sec). Higher values mean worse outcome.

Change in motor strength12 months

By Manual Muscle Testing (MMT). Higher scores mean better outcome.

Change in walking capacity12 months

by the 6-minutes walking test. Higher scores mean better outcome.

Change in Kapanji test12 months

by Kapanji test. Higher scores mean better outcome.

Change in grip strength12 months

by myogrip test. Higher value mean better outcome.

Change in diaphragmatic performance12 months

By transdiaphragmatic pressures measurements. Higher value mean better outcome.

Change in swallowing function - Sidney Swallow questionnaire12 months

By the Sidney Swallow questionnaire. Higher scores mean better outcome.

Change in Perdue pegboard test12 months

by Perdue pegboard test. Higher scores mean better outcome.

Change in the time to stand test12 months

by the time to stand test. Higher scores mean better outcome.

Change in the Nine hole peg test12 months

by the Nine hole peg test. Higher scores mean better outcome.

Change in pinch strength12 months

by myopinch test. Higher value mean better outcome.

Change in inspiratory muscles function12 months

By inspiratory maximal pressure. Higher value mean better outcome.

Change in the the Box and block test12 months

by the Box and block test. Higher scores mean better outcome.

Change in expiratory muscles function12 months

By expiratory maximal pressure. Higher value mean better outcome.

Change in ratio of fat mass/lean mass12 months

By osteodensitometry

Change in swallowing function - Salassa and McHorney scores12 months

By the Salassa and McHorney scores. Higher scores mean better outcome.

Incidence of breathing disorders during sleep12 months

Detection by a polysomnography associated to capnography.
