Study of the Pathophysiological Mechanisms Involved in Bleeding Events
France30 participantsStarted 2009-02
Plain-language summary
Lowe syndrome is associated with mutations in the OCRL1 gene, which encodes OCRL1, a phosphatidylinositol-4, 5-bisphosphate (PtdIns(4, 5)P (2))5-phosphatase. PtdIns(4, 5)P2, a substrate of OCRL1, is an important signaling molecule within the cell. An abnormal rate of hemorrhagic events was found in a retrospective clinical survey, suggesting platelet dysfunction.
The main objective of the study is to confirm the presence of platelet dysfunction in Lowe syndrome and to characterize this abnormality.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Patient with a clinical syndrome of Lowe (congenital cataracts, renal tubular dysfunction and neuromuscular damage) with a molecular defect in the gene known OCRL1.
* For the centre of Necker, patients should have a weight\> 10 kg. For the centre of Toulouse site, patients should have a weight\> 40 kg.
* No alteration of glomerular function (creatinine clearance\> 30 ml/min/1.73m ²)
* No significant anemia (hematocrit\> 25%, hemoglobin\> 8 g / L)
* Every patient should have included a signed informed consent. For minor patients, the consent of parents or legal guardian must be obtained.
* Patients may be included only if they receive social security coverage or CMU
Exclusion Criteria:
* Weight less than 10 kg for the centre of Necker
* Weight less than 40 kg for the centre of Toulouse
* Major renal insufficiency (creatinine clearance \<30 ml/min/1.73m ²)
* Profound anemia (hematocrit \<25%, Hb \<8g/dl)
* Patients taking drugs interfering with hemostasis in the eight days before the survey
* Patients with major behavior disorder making it difficult to achieve the blood sample, despite the nitrous oxide
* Patients with a other pathology of hemostasis (hemophilia, thrombotic disease)
* Participation in another clinical study requiring a blood sample within 4 weeks
* Contraindication to EMLA patch: confers Summary of Product Characteristics.
* Contraindication to KALINOX: confers Summary of Product Characteristics.
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
What they're measuring
1
The platelet function will be evaluated by comparing the intensity of platelet responses obtained in patient and controls
