Medical Complications in Familial and Multifactorial Chylomicronaemia Syndromes

France140 participantsStarted 2018-03-01

Plain-language summary

A retrospective, systematic study of reimbursed healthcare costs over a 10 year period in patients suffering from Familial Chylomicronaemia Syndromes (FCS) or Multifactorial Chylomicronaemia Syndromes (MCS) in order to establish the relative healthcare burden of both syndromes by linking the Hospices Civils de Lyon (HCL) registry of FCS or MCS patients and data obtained from FCS or MCS patients followed in Paris, Nantes and Lyon to the French National Health System (NHS) healthcare claims database, the Système National d'Information Inter-Régimes de l'Assurance Maladie (SNIIR-AM). A probabilistic approach will be used to link databases. This linkage will be based on the following variables: age, gender, date of discharge of any hospitalization, date of any imaging procedure. This study will help to describe, in real life, the management of severe hyperglyceridaemia in France. In addition, the descriptive results will help obtain a better understanding of the patients suffering from this disease, the burden of the disease and the healthcare consumption linked to this disease. Even if this consumption of care has been relatively unexplored until this point, it is not negligible. The potential of merging genomics and claims data for cardiovascular research could help to identify ways to optimize disease

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.
