About this study

NeuroPrems is a prospective, monocentric, longitudinal, not relating to a medicinal product for human use, non-randomized, non-controlled research. The study mainly aims to identify longitudinal changes and events in multimodal markers of neurodegeneration and neuroinflammation during the presymptomatic phases of neurodegenerative diseases.

Being tested
PET, MRI 3T, Oculomotricity assessment, Magnetoencephalography assessment, Body posture and gait assessment
Medical subject headings
Neurodegenerative Diseases

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • PETRadiation

    [18F]DPA-714 will be injected intravenously as a 1 minute intravenous bolus injection and dynamic PET acquisition will last 90 min. The aim is the quantification of the neuroimmune reaction during neuroinflammation process.

  • MRI 3TOther

    Brain MRI will aim at providing imaging biomarkers which will allow evaluating brain structure, microstructure, iron load, myelin, neurodegeneration of the substantia nigra and locus coeruleus, functional connectivity, brain perfusion and the glymphatic system.

  • Oculomotricity assessmentOther

    Recording eye movements in a controlled environment (requiring no specific room or area) in binocular vision at a frequency > 500Hz, while retaining infrared video footage of eye movements for high-quality clinical monitoring.

  • Magnetoencephalography assessmentOther

    Recording brain magnetic activity using the Elekta Neuromag® TRIUX Magnetoencephalograph ; The participant will be comfortably seated in an adjustable-height chair. The device is enclosed in a shielded room isolated from external electric and magnetic fields to measure the extremely weak magnetic activities produced by the brain.

  • Body posture and gait assessmentOther

    The acquisition of kinematic gait parameters will be achieved ; markers are positioned on the different segments of members, recognized by a camera system positioned on the walls. Neurophysiologic muscular activity of the lower limbs will also be recorded.

  • Voice recordingOther

    Participants will be recorded during a single session at every visit upon baseline with a professional quality head mounted microphone.

  • Video-polysomnographyOther

    Participants will complete standard sleep questionnaires before the visit and perform neurophysiological tests including cognitive tasks before and after the sleep recording.

  • Blood sampling, skin biopsy, excreta sampling, lumbar punctureBiological

    Experimental analyses, genetic and multi-OMIC analyses for biomarker research.

What is being measured

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

  1. Rate of change of clinical, neurophysiological, anatomical and molecular marker profiles of neurodegenerescence and neuroinflammation in presymptomatic individuals

    Clinical markers will be: neurological and neuropsychological testing, and questionnaires; Neurophysiological markers will link functional brain networks and cognitive processes by using MEG, kinematic or eye movement recordings; Anatomical markers will be: cerebral MRI, glymphatic imaging, PET and skin elasticity; Molecular markers will be: blood, CSF, skin cells, iPSC derived biomarkers, transcriptomic, proteomic and metabolomic signatures

    Measured: Baseline, Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, Year 4 and Year 5

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Intra-individual change in trajectory profiles determined by multimodal analysis

    Determination by individual parameters form multimodal analysis

    Measured: Baseline, Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, Year 4 and Year 5

  2. Rate and mean time to symptomatic conversion/progression

    Conversion/progression defined according to international criteria for the clinical diagnosis of each disease

    Measured: Baseline, Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, Year 4 and Year 5

  3. Mean time of onset in genetically presymptomatic individuals

    Estimated time to onset in genetic presymptomatic individuals from the average age at diagnosis among affected family members

    Measured: Baseline, Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, Year 4 and Year 5

  4. Rate of change for each study marker

    Period of changes defined (1) as breakpoints in the longitudinal evolution; (2) early, intermediate or late progression for each marker in the whole cohort and for each pathological group

    Measured: Baseline, Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, Year 4 and Year 5

  5. Rate of change in the self-administered questionnaires

    Changes in the self-administered questionnaires on motivation, barriers and psychology

    Measured: Baseline, Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, Year 4 and Year 5

  6. Rate of change in consumption of information issued from Consultations, hospitalizations and medication prescriptions

    Data from SNDS will be extracted during a 10-year period before and 10-year after the cohort entry. This follow-up should allow for a better understanding of when conversion occurs and to compare pathologies which involve a fairly broad spectrum of evolution.

    Measured: From Year -10 to Year 10 (annual update)

  7. Time to loss of autonomy

    Rate of change from baseline of at least 0.1 in the utility index from EQ-5D-51

    Measured: Baseline, Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, Year 4 and Year 5

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Neurodegenerative Diseases, run by Paris Brain Institute (ICM) 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?

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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Jul 2024. 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 Pierre GEORGES FRANCOIS (01 57 27 40 00, riph@icm-institute.org), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Rate of change of clinical, neurophysiological, anatomical and molecular marker profiles of neurodegenerescence and neuroinflammation in presymptomatic individuals (time frame: Baseline, Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, Year 4 and Year 5). 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 23 Jul 2024.
