Study of Pathophysiology of Status Epilepticus & Dysimmune Encephalitis

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

COLETTE is an interventional study for which blood, cerebrospinal fluid and post-mortem tissues are collected in patients with status epilepticus or epilepsy associated to dysimmune encephalitis as well as in control patients, to better understand the pathophysiology of these severe epileptic disorders.

Clinical Trial Description

Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological condition which concerns around 50 million people worldwide. Epilepsy is characterized by a lasting predisposition to generate seizures. Epilepsy can present as heterogenous set of clinical symptoms and is related to extremely varied etiologies. Some epilepsies are triggered by antineuronal autoantibodies and/or complicated by a status epilepticus. These conditions may induce brain atrophy, and severe neurological sequels. The severity of these epilepsies requires significant efforts to (i) identify new therapeutic strategies able to control the evolution of dysimmune encephalitis and refractory status epilepticus, (ii) to identify their etiologies and (iii) to propose neuroprotective strategies. Therefore, the investigators will organize a collection of biological samples (blood, cerebrospinal fluid, post-mortem brain tissues) and paraclinical data (electroencephalogram, evoked potential, CT, MRI) in patients with severe epilepsies, whether or not associated with autoantibodies, and/or evolving into status epilepticus. This study should bring new insights allowing to better understand mechanisms that trigger the emergence of an epileptic brain (epileptogenesis) through : (i) the identification and characterization of new pathophysiological pathways involving autoimmunity directed against the cerebral cortex and associated with severe epilepsy (ii) the identification and characterization of pathophysiological pathways participating in the excitotoxicity observed in status epilepticus. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
