Trial summary

Frailty is a age dependent physiological state of vulnerability. Frailty is screened by the phenotypic model (5 clinical criteria) or the cumulative model (various clinical and biological criteria). Currently, aging with autism spectrum disorder and mental retardation (ADS-MR) is poor described. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Fragility Assessment in Adults With ADHD and Mental Retardation, Advancing Age

Frailty is a age dependent physiological state of vulnerability. Frailty is screened by the phenotypic model (5 clinical criteria) or the cumulative model (various clinical and biological criteria). Currently, aging with autism spectrum disorder and mental retardation (ADS-MR) is poor described. Nevertheless many data indicate that people with ADS-MR may present an early aging.

Principal aim of this study is to determine if frailty in people with ADS-MR aged over 20 years depend on age. Secondary aims are to evaluate frailty prevalence, to describe with details health according to age, and to verify the frailty index validity for predicting falls, hospitalisation and death, in this population of ADS-MR patients aged over 20 years.

This monocentric and prospective study will include 60 ADS-MR patients aged over 20 years and living in Languedoc-Roussillon's medico-social care homes. Patients are evaluated at the time of inclusion. Frailty index is calculated from 104 clinical and biological criteria. Furthermore the investigator staff collect data about ADS severity (CARS), adaptative and intellectual functionning (Vineland), and psychiatric and somatic comorbidities (Reiss scale, DSQIID and CIRS). Falls, hospitalisations or death occurrence is then collected every year during 5 years.

The connection between frailty index and age will be studied using linear regression. The frailty index validity will be analysed using ROC curves. Modelisation of the falls, hospitalisations or death risk in the 5 years after the initial evaluation will help in identification of the more frailty predictive criteria.

Calendar :

This study will take place during 60 months. 4 first months will be devoted at the ethic and administrative issues. Inclusion will take place during 26 months. Follow-up will take 5 years. Last months will be used for data analysis and articles submission.

Perspectives :

This study will be the first describing frailty evolution during aging in patients suffering from ADS-MR. It will be useful for creating a new, simple and pragmatical frailty screening tool specific for ADS-MR patients in order to detect earlier which patient are the most frail.

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

  1. Frailty index

    this correspond to the frailty cumulative model : 104 clinical and biological criteria are collected. IF = patient criteria (quoted +1 or 0) sum / evaluated criteria total sum

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing ADS severity, Adaptative and intellectual functioning and Psychiatric and somatic comorbidities in people with Autism Spectrum Disorder and Mental Retardation, run by University Hospital, Montpellier 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 3 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 Apr 2024. 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?

Frailty index (time frame: 1 day). 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 3 Apr 2024.
