Rare disease researchers build a crystal ball for long-term prognosis
NCT ID NCT07454343
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aims to create a better way to predict long-term outcomes for people with Erdheim-Chester disease (ECD), a rare condition that causes abnormal cells to build up in bones and organs. Researchers will analyze data from 1000 patients to identify factors that affect survival, disability, and quality of life. The goal is to develop a comprehensive score that helps doctors give more accurate prognoses and improve patient care.

Patients with ECD will be recruited and will attend outpatient visits at the study coordination center at the Meyer IRCCS University Hospital (Florence) and other participating centers. The patients to be enrolled will be "prevalent" and "incident" patients during the 5-year study period.
