About this study

the investigators will measure source-monitoring ability in patients with several neuropsychiatric condition and in healthy controls appaired in age, sex and educational level. Source-monitoring will be measured thanks to internal- and reality-monitoring informatic tasks.The investigators hypothesized patients with fronto-temporal abnormalities would show more marked deficits than patients with only frontal abnormalities.

Read the detailed description

Source-monitoring abilities will be measured thanks to reality-monitoring testing (i.e. the ability to distinguish internal-generated events from external ones) and internal-monitoring testing (i.e. the ability to distinguish an imagined source from a performed one). A source-monitoring deficit have been demonstrated in patients with psychiatric conditions such as schizophrenia and seems linked to frontotemporal abnormalities (frontotemporal dysconnectivity and temporal hypoactivity). With a total of 150 patients, the investigators will include 30 patients per group: patients with pre-dementia stage Alzheimer, Alzheimer, Fronto-Temporal dementia, Lewy Body dementia or Parkinson and Bipolar Disorder, with the hypothesis that Bipolar Disorder patients will present less marked deficit. The investigators will recruit 150 healthy controls.

What is being measured

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

  1. measure source memory performance

    in patients with neuropsychiatric disorders with or without temporal involvement (pre-dementia Alzheimer's disease, Alzheimer's disease - AD, fronto-temporal dementia - DFT, Lewy body dementia - DCL and bipolar disorder - TBP) and healthy volunteers matched in age, gender, and level of education.

    Measured: one year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. measure the recognition of distractors

    words not presented during the source monitoring test phase but presented during the recall phase. This measure will allow us to avoid that a disturbance invading the working memory or attentional capacities does not compromise the good realization of the task.

    Measured: one year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Monitoring source test in people with Psychiatric Disorder, run by Hôpital le Vinatier 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 2 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 31 Jul 2025. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact JEROME BRUNELIN, PHD (00334 37 91 55 65, jerome.brunelin@ch-le-vinatier.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

measure source memory performance (time frame: one year). 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 31 Jul 2025.
