About this study

Official title: Analysis of Capillary Retinal and Papillary Vascularization in Patients With Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, or Charcot's disease, is a neurodegenerative disease affecting motor neurons. The disease affects between 5 and 10 people per 100,000 in the world, nearly 7,000 patients are affected in France. The only therapeutic treatment available to date in France is riluzole, which slows the progression of the disease. Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis is the first degenerative disease affecting motor neurons. However, recent evidence suggests that the impairment extends beyond motor neurons alone.

Optical Coherence Tomography analyzes made it possible to highlight ophthalmologic damage in patients with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, in particular at the macula and papilla, although some results are contradictory.

No angiographic Optical Coherence Tomography analysis has been performed to date in patients with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. However, in the hypothesis of microvascular involvement participating in the pathophysiology of neurodegeneration in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, these examinations could provide relevant clinical and pathophysiological data by studying the retinal microvascularization of patients with the disease.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing angiographic optical coherence tomography in people with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, run by University Hospital, Angers 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 9 inclusion and 11 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 8 Oct 2021. 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 Attachée de Recherche Clinique (0241353637, jeanne.muller@chu-angers.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Compare the angiographic optical coherence tomography examination in patients with ALS in comparison with healthy controls (time frame: at inclusion). 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 8 Oct 2021.
