Trial summary

Clinically isolated demyelinating syndromes (CIS) can evolve into multiple sclerosis (MS). Cognitive deficiencies could occur at this early stage and concern mainly information processing speed (IPS) and their mechanisms are not fully understood. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Prospective Longitudinal 1-year Study of the Correlation Between Cognitive Functioning in Patients With Clinically Isolated Syndrome Suggestive of Multiple Sclerosis and Disconnection in the Brain Assessed by MRI:"SCI-COG" Study

Clinically isolated demyelinating syndromes (CIS) can evolve into multiple sclerosis (MS). Cognitive deficiencies could occur at this early stage and concern mainly information processing speed (IPS) and their mechanisms are not fully understood. Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) can help in the understanding of these mechanisms.

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective cohort, observational, longitudinal, monocentric study. This study will include 60 patients with CIS followed for 1 year and 60 healthy subjects.

Being tested
Brain MRI - Clinical and cognitive evaluation, Eye movement
Medical subject headings
Multiple Sclerosis

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Brain MRI - Clinical and cognitive evaluationOther

    • Clinical evaluation (EDSS, MSFC)
    • Cognitive evaluation with tests of information processing speed, attention, working memory, episodic memory and executive functions, assessment of confounding factors (depression (BDI) and anxiety (HAD), mood (EHD), fatigue (M-FIS) and assessment of quality of life (SEP-59)
    • Brain MRI (3 Tesla): FLAIR, 3D MPRAGE T1 and DTI
  • Eye movementOther

    Assessment of eye Movements (EyeBrain software) for only the group of 15 healthy subjects at baseline and at 12 months

What is being measured

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

  1. Correlation between fractional anisotropy (FA) value and cognitive z scores or cognitive impairment indexes for each domains

    IPS, attention, working memory, episodic memory and executive functions), established by voxel-wise statistics (TBSS) in CIS patients

    Measured: visit 2 - 1 year after inclusion

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Comparison of skeleton of FA between CIS patients and healthy subjects

    Measured: V2 - 1 year after the inclusion

  2. Comparison of cognitive scores at each test between CIS patients and controls

    Measured: D0 and V2 - 1 year after the inclusion

  3. Proportion of patients with cognitive impairment (≥ 3 tests impaired) and correlations with anxiety, depressive syndrome and fatigue

    Measured: D0 and V2 - 1 year after the inclusion

  4. Comparison of statistical maps of FA

    mean cortical thickness and deep grey nuclei volumes with cognitive indexes in the 3 pre-define groups: cognitively preserved CIS patients at baseline and after one year; cognitively impaired CIS patients only after one year and cognitively impaired CIS patients at the two evaluations.

    Measured: D0 and V2 - 1 year after the inclusion

  5. Correlations between cognitive scores and mean cortical thickness and deep grey nuclei volumes in CIS patients

    Measured: D0 and V2 - 1 year after the inclusion

  6. Comparison of cognitive scores at each test and eye movements scores

    Measured: D0 and V2 - 1 year after the inclusion

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Brain MRI - Clinical and cognitive evaluation and Eye movement in people with Clinically Isolated Demyelinating Syndromes and Multiple Sclerosis, run by University Hospital, Bordeaux at 1 site 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 15 inclusion and 20 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 3 Oct 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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?

Correlation between fractional anisotropy (FA) value and cognitive z scores or cognitive impairment indexes for each domains (time frame: visit 2 - 1 year after inclusion). 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 NCT01865357, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 3 Oct 2018.
