NCT06869499

Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to optimise and facilitate screening for Acid SphingoMyelinase Deficiency (ASMD) disease, by evaluating acid sphingomyelinase activity and, where appropriate, LysoSM levels in a cohort of 200 participants with diffuse interstitial lund disease (ILD) at risk of developing ASMD disease. ILD is common in the general population, so in order to limit the number of differential diagnoses, the population to be studied will be restricted to participants aged between 15 years and 3 months and 60 years, with ILD plus ground-glass opacities on chest CT scan certified by a pulmonologist/radiologist or internist, AND splenomegaly or splenectomy, and/or thrombocytopenia, and/or low HDL cholesterol, and/or parental consanguinity which increase the sensitivity of ASMD screening. In this clinical trail, two procedures are added, participants will be asked for :

  • a blood sample to measure the acid sphingomyelinase enzyme activity and LysoSM, if required.
  • a follow-up visit at 6 months

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Optimising screening for ASMD in a population of adult patients with diffuse interstitial pneumopathy

    To optimise and facilitate screening for ASMD by evaluating acid sphingomyelinase activity and, where appropriate, LysoSM levels in a cohort of 200 patients with diffuse interstitial pneumopathy disease at risk of developing ASMD.

    12 months

Study Arms (1)

Experimental Cohort

EXPERIMENTAL

The participants will be asked for a : 1. Venous blood collection (4ml EDTA tube) for the determination of : * acid sphingomyelinase enzyme activity in all participants included in the study. The determination of acid sphigomyelinase enzyme activity will be performed using a multiplex blotting assay that allows simultaneous determination of acid sphigomyelinase activity (ASMD) by tandem MS/MS mass spectrometry, but also Beta-glucocerebrosidase (Gaucher disease), alpha-galactosidase (Fabry disease), Maltase Acid (Pompe disease), Galactocerebrosidase (Krabbe disease), Alpha-L iduronidase (control enzyme) (MPSI)). * if acid sphingomyelinase activity \< 1.82 μmol/h/l (decreased) is detected, the concentration of lysoSM should be determined on the same sample. 2. Appropriate participant care management in the event of a positive ASMD screening.

Procedure: Blood sampling for dosage

Interventions

4ml blood sample to measure acid sphingomyelinase enzyme activity and LysoSM, if required.
