NCT ID NCT05954494
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at cells from 21 people with BPAN, a rare brain disease caused by a gene mutation. Researchers wanted to see if the cells have trouble handling stress, which might explain why brain cells die. No treatment was given; the goal was simply to learn more about the disease.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
Community sample of patients, organized with patient's associations and major reference centers. As this is a rare genetic disorder with no treatment, we conduct this research at the request of the above-mentioned patient associations. At present, about twenty patients are followed for this pathology in France and 2 to 3 patients are diagnosed on average each year. Assuming a refusal rate of 5% (knowing that this study is based on the wishes of the patients' families), we plan to include a total of 20 patients.
