Trial summary

the investigators hypothesize that hub alteration occurs both in diffuse diseases (MS, AD) as well as in more 'network specific' diseases (Parkinson, ALS, Epilepsy). This could impact on functional dysfunction not directly related to each disease, but that could induce common syndrome such as cognitive impairment… Read more about this study

About this study

the investigators hypothesize that hub alteration occurs both in diffuse diseases (MS, AD) as well as in more 'network specific' diseases (Parkinson, ALS, Epilepsy). This could impact on functional dysfunction not directly related to each disease, but that could induce common syndrome such as cognitive impairment observed in Parkinson, partial epilepsy or ALS.

The objective here is to test this hypothesis and provides better understandings on pathophysiological processes affecting those highly connected regions in 'diffuse' and 'focal' neurological diseases.

The ultimate goal is to identify new clinical targets for trans-nosological approaches (DBS, cognitive rehabilitation ...).

Practically, the investigators will explore 200 patients classified in 5 cohorts of 40 patients suffering for MS, AD, Parkinson, ALS, Epilepsy, using the last advanced methods to assess structural and functional brain connectivity implemented on the human 7T MR scanner equipping the CEMEREM (CHU Timone, Marseille, only 50 similar MR scanners worldwide).

In addition to high resolution diffusion MRI and rs-fMRI, metabolic and ionic (sodium) mapping will complement the MR protocol to characterize the pathophysiological processes of hub injury. Sixty healthy controls will also be explored wih the same protocol for normal database.

The proposal aims at characterizing and comparing from a morphological-functional point of view, the hub regions of patients suffering from these five diseases, to demonstrate the pertinence to preserve hub integrity as a major therapeutic target whatever the disease.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing MRI 7T, MRI 3 T and blood sample in people with Diffuse Diseases, run by Assistance Publique Hopitaux De Marseille 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 6 inclusion and 4 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Apr 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact maxime GUYE (maxime.guye@ap-hm.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Index of reorganization of the structural hubs (ks-Degree) (time frame: 5years). 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 14 Apr 2017.
