Trial summary

France is one of the European countries with the highest rate of death by suicide, more than 10 400 deaths each year, about 16 people out of 100 000. Although suicide mortality rate tends to fall between 1987 and 2008 the number of suicide attempts (TS) against observed by an upward trend between 2005 and 2010. Read more about this study

About this study

France is one of the European countries with the highest rate of death by suicide, more than 10 400 deaths each year, about 16 people out of 100 000. Although suicide mortality rate tends to fall between 1987 and 2008 the number of suicide attempts (TS) against observed by an upward trend between 2005 and 2010. However, the most important predictor of death by suicide remains the TS. Now these are primarily TS Poisoning Drug-Volunteer (IMV), especially benzodiazepines. These IMV, there have been 16% recurrence in the past year and 21% at 4 years among hospitalized patients. Or a Health Barometer 2005 survey showed that 58% of respondents with a TS over the last 12 months had not been hospitalized. This type of acting out, especially the repeated IMV (IMVr) is underestimated epidemiologically because it is an unknown phenomenon and too little screened by health professionals.

Read the detailed description

The IMVr constitute severe behavior disorder, chronic and costly given the multiple prescriptions, hospital admissions, including emergencies, and repeated treatment failures, in the absence of specific treatment of psychopathological problematic background. Indeed many arguments lead to evoke the existence of a functioning underlying addictive type, rather than a problem of suicide, especially from the second recurrence (often characterized by low lethality and suicidal intentionality). This impulsive behavior and / or compulsive repeatedly would not simply the consequence of a pharmacological benzodiazepine dependence (it is also not systematic), but would demonstrate a similar operation to that of behavioral addictions. Furthermore, a preliminary study has shown that this type of behavior was not limited to a BPD personality type, since it is mainly found pathological personalities depressive and avoidant types.

In this context it is urgent to make an accurate characterization of these patients IMVr because the integration of the addictive dimension in their care will adapt strategies psychotherapeutic, pharmacological, and the terms of issue of psychotropic and especially benzodiazepines .

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing MRI and biological assessment in people with Volunteers Repeated Drug Poisoning and Alcoholic, run by University Hospital, Grenoble 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 10 inclusion and 16 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Dec 2019. 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 was stopped early (reason given: not enough patients). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Comparison of local measurements of changes in the BOLD (Blood Oxygenation Level Dependent) based on visual stimuli by anatomical and functional MRI (time frame: 15 days of the passage to the act). 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 27 Dec 2019.
