An interventional study of transcriptomic and metabolomic analysis in Calcium Pyrophosphate Deposition Disease and Rheumatic Diseases, sponsored by Lille Catholic University. Not yet recruiting at 1 site in France. Open to participants aged 65 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2025-06-05.
Sponsored by Lille Catholic University · Not applicable, Interventional, and Basic science
The goal of this clinical trial is to describe the transcriptomic and metabolomic profile of patients with chronic Calcium Pyrophosphate Deposition (CPPD) compared to those with acute CPPD.
The hypotheses are as follows :
The management of participants with chronic forms of the disease included in this research was modelled on the usual recommended management, including a biological workup, joint puncture, ultrasound and radiographic workup. Double-energy CT scans and transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses on plasma are not routine tests.
Inclusion Criteria - Acute forms of CPPD: retrospective part of the study
Inclusion Criteria - Chronical forms of CPPD : prospective part of the study
Exclusion Criteria - Acute forms of CPPD:
Exclusion Criteria - For chronic forms of CPPD:
Patients with diagnosis of chronic calcium pyrophosphate crystal arthritis (either acute recurrent or persistent arthritis), meeting the 2023 American College of Rheumatology/European League Against Rheumatism (ACR/EULAR) classification criteria, after evaluation by a rheumatologist from the rheumatology department.
Genetic: transcriptomic and metabolomic analysis
Venous blood samples for transcriptomic and metabolomic analysis will be taken in 3 x 4 mL ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) tubes and stored immediately at 4°C, before being cryopreserved at -80°C in 500 μL aliquots of plasma. In addition, for transcriptomic analysis, a sample will also be taken in a Paxgen RNA tube cryopreserved at -80°C.
Transcriptomic profile
-Quantitative transcriptomic profiling (expression of the genes involved) and qualitative profiling (analysis of the sequence of variants expressed)
Time frame: 2 weeks
Metabolomic profile
- Metabolomic profile: quantitative assessment of the metabolites involved in each phenotype, then qualitatively grouped by activated metabolic pathway
Time frame: 2 weeks
Plan to share: No
