Use of Anti-CD146 Autoantibodies for the Diagnosis of Pulmonary Diseases Secondary to Occupational Exposure to Silica

Sponsor: Assistance Publique Hopitaux De Marseille

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

This prospective, multicenter study aims to evaluate the relevance of anti-CD146 autoantibodies (AACD146) as biological markers for the early diagnosis of pulmonary diseases related to occupational exposure to silica. Silica exposure is a recognized risk factor for fibrotic, inflammatory, and cancerous respiratory diseases. Currently, no specific biological marker exists. The hypothesis is that AACD146 reflects early effects of silica exposure. The study will include 110 participants divided into two groups (exposed vs. non-exposed) and will compare AACD146 prevalence according to exposure level and the presence of respiratory diseases.
