About this study

Official title: Study of the BDNF- Val66Met Polymorphism in Alcohol-dependent Subjects in Relation to Abstinence After Withdrawal

This study is complementary to the main study "Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor Serum Levels Evolution During the Six Months After Alcohol Withdrawal " NCT01491347.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the Bdnf gene - Val66Met polymorphism in subjects with alcohol dependence according to their alcohol consumption status 6 months after withdrawal (relapse or abstinence), in relation to the presence of psychiatric co-morbidities.

What is being measured

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

  1. Frequency of the Bdnf gene Val/Val, Val/Met and Met/Met phenotypes as a function of relapse

    Measured: at the time of inclusion

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. serum BDNF levels variations between inclusion and 6 months later (or 4 months if the participants does not come for the 4 months-follow-up).

    Measured: 6 months after alcohol withdrawal

  2. existence of a psychiatric co-morbidity at the inclusion (major depression, schizophrenia, anxiety disorder)

    Measured: at the time of inclusion

  3. presence of a psychiatric co-morbidity at 6 months after withdrawal (major depression, schizophrenia, anxiety disorder)

    Measured: 6 month after alcohol withdrawal

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Alcohol Dependence, run by Centre Hospitalier Esquirol 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 2 inclusion and 2 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 31 Jan 2017. 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?

Frequency of the Bdnf gene Val/Val, Val/Met and Met/Met phenotypes as a function of relapse (time frame: at the time of inclusion). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 31 Jan 2017.
