About this study

Official title: Measure of Specific Determinants of the Cerebral Small Vessel Disease in HIV+ Patients

Cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) is a major cause of cognitive impairment and disability in the general population, secondary to the accumulation of asymptomatic elementary lesions. CSVD is directly correlated with age and cardiovascular risk factors and therefore would be challenging in term of public health care in the future. While HIV patients share the same cardiovascular risk factors and they are often diagnosed with cognitive impairment and frailty, CSVD has not been yet described in this population.

The global aim is to study and describe the CSVD in the HIV+ population by: (1) correlating the CSVD and the macro-vascular disease of the head and brain; (2) correlating the CSVD with the ocular (structural sentinel organ) and kidney (functional sentinel organ) micro-vascular disease.

HIV+/CSVD+ patients will have a complementary work-up with conventional MRI/MRA, thorough vascular explorations, and neurologic examination to evaluate the severity of the CSVD, the macro-vascular disease and the cerebral atrophy. They will have a full ophthalmic examination and specific kidney explorations to evaluate the micro-vascular disease of this two sentinel organs. The same number of HIV+/CSVD- matched patients will have the same work-up.

We are expecting to show the relationship between CSVD and cardiovascular risk factors in order to propose specific prevention. We will correlate the CSVD with the neurologic and cognitive function as it is already proved in the general population. We will correlate the CSVD with the ocular and kidney micro-vascular disease to propose fast, easy and cheap screening tools for the CSVD in the HIV+ population.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cerebral Small Vessels Disease, run by Fondation Ophtalmologique Adolphe de Rothschild 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 5 inclusion and 7 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 2 Jul 2026. 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?

determinants of CSCV in patients with HIV (time frame: baseline). 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 NCT02210130, 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 2 Jul 2026.
