Investigation of the Frequency of Hereditary Hyper Alpha-tryptasemia in Patients With Elevated Basal Tryptasemia
France100 participantsStarted 2023-12-05
Plain-language summary
The aim of the study is to assess the number of patients with elevated blood tryptase for whom this elevation could be linked to a hereditary alpha-tryptase secretion abnormality or hyper-alpha-tryptasemia. This information will enable to better optimize the management and follow-up of patients who have experienced hypersensitivity reactions and have elevated basal blood tryptase levels. The patients will be offered the opportunity to take part in the study. If they consent to participate, they will be tested for hereditary hyper-alpha-tryptasemia. A blood sampling will be performed in the center. A few weeks after, the patient will be informed about the blood sample result during a medical consultation organized in the center.

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?

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?
