Caspase-1 activity in FMF patients
Part of Digestive system, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study measures levels of certain proteins (caspase-1, IL-1beta, and IL-18) in tissue samples from people with Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF). It aims to understand how these proteins relate to the disease and may help guide future treatments.

This study checks how well a specific blood test works for people who may have Mediterranean family fever (FMF). It may help doctors recognize FMF more accurately and decide on follow-up and treatment.
This study looks at two simple blood test scores (AGE and CALLY) to see if they can help monitor inflammation in people with Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF). It compares these scores between FMF patients and healthy volunteers to find better ways to track the disease.
This study collects genetic samples and medical histories from people with autoinflammatory diseases (like Familial Mediterranean Fever), their relatives, and healthy volunteers to understand how these conditions run in families and what causes them. Participation mainly involves providing a mail-in DNA sample.
This trial looks at whether foods like gluten or wheat might cause attacks in people with Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF). If you have FMF, joining could help understand if changing your diet can prevent attacks.
This trial tests if a Mediterranean diet plus aerobic exercise can improve fatty liver in women with Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) who are also obese. It aims to see if these lifestyle changes help liver health.
This study tests a questionnaire called BETY-BQ to see if it is a valid, reliable, and responsive tool for people with Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF). It aims to help better understand how FMF affects daily life.
