- Brief Summary
Anti-myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein-IgG-associated disorders (MOGAD) is a rare inflammatory autoimmune disease. In addition, since the international MOGAD group proposed live-cell based assays for MOGAD diagnosis in 2023, there are still no real-world cohort validation studies on this methodology. This study intends to establish a large sample cohort with multi-center and paired design. MOG-IgG detection based on live cells and fixed cells was performed on the study participants with high suspicion of MOGAD and the negative control population, to obtain the diagnostic performance parameters and consistency evaluation of the two methodologies, evaluate their clinical diagnostic value, and explore the best individual assay cutoffs for MOG-IgG detection suitable for the diagnosis of MOGAD in China.
- Detailed Description
Study design: A multicenter, observational study to compare the diagnosis performance of two cell-based assays in Chinese patients with idiopathic demyelinating disorders Participants: In this study, serum samples were collected from participants with high clinical suspicion of MOGAD (the number of valid positive cases was 150), and control samples were collected (including 30 participants in other inflammatory CNS disease studies, 30 participants in non-inflammatory CNS studies, and 30 participants in healthy people studies).
Aim: In this multicenter study, a cell-based assay (CBA) based on cell transfection was proposed to semi-quantitatively detect specific antibodies in human serum samples of study participants with highly suspected clinical manifestations of MOGAD and the control population. Each study participant used two CBA detection methods to detect MOG-IgG at the same time, namely live cell based and fixed cell based, to obtain diagnostic performance parameters and consistency evaluation (sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value) of the two methods, and combined with comprehensive clinical diagnosis to compare their clinical diagnostic value. To explore the individual assay cutoffs for the diagnosis of MOGAD in China.
Total enrollment: participants with high clinical suspicion of MOGAD (the number of valid positive cases was 150), and control samples were collected (including 30 participants in other inflammatory CNS disease studies, 30 participants in non-inflammatory CNS studies, and 30 participants in healthy people studies).
Time frame: August 1, 2024 to December 1, 2025.
Study protocol:
1. This study intends to include participants with a high likelihood of MOGAD, and to simultaneously match a negative control group including inflammatory CNS disease, non-inflammatory CNS disease, and healthy people. Serum samples of the above study participants were detected by CBA method of live cells and fixed cells. According to the comprehensive diagnosis results of clinical experts, the specificity, sensitivity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of the two methods were compared, and the clinical consistency of the two methods was obtained.
2. According to the comprehensive clinical diagnosis results, the consistency of MOG-IgG positive and titer results between active CBA method and fixed CBA method was evaluated.
3. According to the comprehensive clinical diagnosis, the diagnostic value of MOGAD in different titers of the two methods was evaluated. To obtain the best individual assay cutoffs of MOGAD diagnosis in this study and improve the specificity of disease diagnosis.
4. The proportion of study participants with high suspicion of MOGAD who were diagnosed with MOGAD was counted, and the clinical characteristics of participants in this part of the study were analyzed to explore the correlation between MOG-IgG antibody titers and clinical characteristics, treatment regimen, clinical course, or disease activity.
