Trial summary

The neurological disorders that accompany aging represent a major public health problem. The management of these diseases is a major medical and social priority. This project is based on the assumption that the oral cavity represents a privileged observation space to address these issues. Read more about this study

Show all 12Show fewer
  • Patients with severe acute or chronic cardiovascular, renal, hepatic, gastrointestinal, allergic, endocrine, pulmonary, neuropsychiatric pathologies, judged by the investigator to be incompatible with the study, as all these pathologies may interfere with the results of the oral flora sampling

About this study

Official title: Analysis of the Periodontal Microbiota in Elderly Subjects With and Without Alzheimer's Disease: a Case Control Study

The neurological disorders that accompany aging represent a major public health problem. The management of these diseases is a major medical and social priority. This project is based on the assumption that the oral cavity represents a privileged observation space to address these issues. The mouth is a site of easy access for painless sampling; there is therefore a major interest in identifying early oral infectious markers of the development or evolution of senile dementia. In addition to the interest of an early oral diagnosis, the mapping of the oral microbial flora in the demented elderly would allow a better understanding, prevention or even control of the evolution of neurodegenerative diseases. The final objective of our approach is to characterize the oral pathogens, or more probably the group of oral pathogens, which are significantly associated with Alzheimer's disease.

What is being measured

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

  1. Quantification of periodontal bacterial and viral species from dental plaque samples

    Quantification of periodontal bacterial and viral species by microfluidic multiplex PCR-Biomark HD system Microfluidigm 9 Herpes viruses = HSV-1 and 2 (or HHV-1 and -2), VZV (or HHV-3), EBV (or HHV-4), CMV (or HHV-5), HHV-6A, HHV-6B, HHV-7, HHV-8 (or Kaposi virus) 16 periodontal bacteria = Porphyromonas gingivalis, Tannerella forsythensis, Treponema denticola, Prevotella intermedia, Campylobacter rectus, Fusobacterium nucleatum, Prevotella nigrescens, Eubacterium nodatum, Peptostreptococcus micros, Prevotella melaninogenica, Aa, Actinomyces naeslundii, Eikenella corrodens, Streptococcus mitis, Streptococcus oralis, Streptococcus sanguis

    For each species:

    Less than 25 CT (Cycle Treshold): positive More than 30 CT (Cycle Treshold): negative Between 25 and 30 CT (Cycle Treshold): need to increase significance by using an additional primer CT: allows to determine the number of copies of each bacterial or viral species

    Measured: 9 months

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Oral status presence of dentures

    presence of dentures: Yes/No masticatory coefficient: Coefficient from 1 to 5% assigned to each tooth according to its function, sum of all coefficients gives the result mobilities: Mühlemann index (from 0 to 3) caries involvement: DMFT

    Measured: 9 Months

  2. Oral status presence of dentures

    presence of dentures: Yes/No

    Measured: 9 Months

  3. Oral status masticatory coefficient

    presence of dentures: Yes/No masticatory coefficient: Coefficient from 1 to 5% assigned to each tooth according to its function, sum of all coefficients gives the result

    Measured: 9 Months

  4. Oral status mobilities

    Mühlemann index (from 0 to 3)

    Measured: 1 day

  5. Oral status caries involvement

    DMFT: number of Decayed Missing or Filled teeth (from 0 to 32)

    Measured: 1 day

  6. Periodontal status: pocket depth (PPS)

    pocket depth (PPS): between the gum line and the bottom of the pocket, measures in mm.

    Measured: 9 months

  7. Periodontal status: clinical attachment (CAL)

    clinical attachment (CAL): between the enamel-cement junction and the bottom of the pocket, measures in mm.

    Measured: 9 months

  8. Periodontal status: bleeding on probing (BOP):

    bleeding on probing (BOP): number of sites with bleeding divided by total number of sites measured x 100, measured as a percentage.

    Measured: 9 months

  9. Periodontal status: plaque index (PI)

    plaque index (PI): from 0 to 3

    Measured: 9 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Periodontitis and Alzheimer Disease, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nice 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 4 inclusion and 12 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 3 May 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 leslie Borsa (33625352362, leslie.borsa@univ-cotedazur.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Quantification of periodontal bacterial and viral species from dental plaque samples (time frame: 9 months). 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 3 May 2021.
