About this study

Official title: Study of Developmental Trajectories From Childhood to Adulthood Patients of the Cohort EpiTED: Research for Prognostic Factors Clinical and Biological

Epidemiological studies have shown that a wide range of outcome trajectories exist in ASD, but little is known about their determinant in a long-term perspective. The EpiTED cohort was set-up in order to understand the heterogeneity of developmental trajectories among children with a diagnosis of PDD and the role of clinical, biological and environmental factors in their adaptive outcome. It is one of the rare cohorts involving a long term prospective follow-up based on a large set of variables, and precise phenotypes of the entire autism spectrum.

Purpose: Epidemiological studies have shown that a wide range of outcome trajectories exist in ASD, but little is known about their determinant in a long-term perspective. The EpiTED cohort was set-up in order to understand the heterogeneity of developmental trajectories among children with a diagnosis of PDD and the role of clinical, biological and environmental factors in their adaptive outcome. It is one of the rare cohorts involving a long term prospective follow-up based on a large set of variables, and precise phenotypes of the entire autism spectrum.

Participants: This longitudinal study for which recruitment began between 1997 and 1999, has initially involved 281 preschool aged children recruited from 5 French areas. They were seen at 8 (Time 2), 15 (Time 3) and 20 years of age (Time 4), with an average follow-up length of 15 years. At each follow-up, socio-demographical, clinical, developmental and interventional were collected. At Time 4 (fourth visit), DNA was collected to do a genetic study Findings to date: The main results show that there were two developmental trajectories from childhood to adolescence among the cohort leading to very distinct level of adaptive functioning. Prognosis factors in childhood were the intellectual level, the presence or absence of language, the autism degree and the absence or presence of epilepsy. During adolescence there was a negative impact on the quality of life of the parents of the presence of aberrant behavior and low level functioning, The children included in the cohort were followed during 15 years and were assessed four times (at 5, 8, 15 and 20 years on average, see flow chart in figure 1. From 2000 to 2002, 219 of the original group were reassessed (time 2, T2). At time 3 (T3), between 2007 and 2009, they were 152 to be re-assessed and 106 between 2012 and 2015 (time 4, T4).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Vineland II (VABS -II) and Quality of life in people with Autism Spectrum Disorders, run by University Hospital, Montpellier.

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 3 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 11 Jul 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Vineland II (VABS -II) (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 11 Jul 2016.
