What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Sensitivity and specificity of electrical source localization of inter-ictal and ictal discharges using high-Resolution EEG for localizing the epileptogenic zone (the stereo-electroencephalography will be the reference method)

    results of electrical sources localization of inter-ictal and ictal discharges are compared to the epileptogenic zone defined by SEEG

    Measured: 3 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. inter-observer reliability of electrical source localization of inter-ictal and ictal discharges for localizing the epileptogenic zone.

    sources localization of inter-ictal and ictal discharges will be interpreted by two independant epileptologists, blinded to the results of stereo-EEG.

    Measured: 3 years

  2. sensitivity and specificity of high resolution EEG and electrical source imaging for surgical decision

    decision of surgery and the limits of the cortectomy established with electrical source imaging will be compared to the decision of surgery and the limits of the cortectomy established with Stereo-electroencephalography.

    Measured: 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing High Resolution EEG and Stereo-electroencephalography in people with Partial Epilepsy, run by Central Hospital, Nancy, France at 2 sites in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Jan 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Sensitivity and specificity of electrical source localization of inter-ictal and ictal discharges using high-Resolution EEG for localizing the epileptogenic zone (the stereo-electroencephalography will be the reference method) (time frame: 3 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01090934, which also lists 4 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 27 Jan 2016.
