What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study looks at how spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) affects the eyes and vision. Researchers will examine 60 adults with SCA types 1, 2, 3, or 27B, including those with early symptoms and those who are not yet symptomatic. The goal is to measure vision changes and eye damage using tests like eye exams and scans, helping to better understand these rare neurological diseases.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 60 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Started

Oct 2025

Expected to finish

Oct 2027

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Ages

18 to 80 years

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Age between 18 and 80, * Presence of pathological expansion in ATXN1 (\> or equal to 39 CAG), ATXN2 (\> or equal to 33 CAG) or ATXN3 (\> or equal to 45 CAG) genes, responsible respectively for SCA1, SCA2 or SCA3 or a pathological expansion (\>250 GAA) in the FGF14 gene responsible for SCA27B pathology, * Sujet symptomatic (SARA greater than or equal to 4) or presymptomatic (SARA \< 4). Exclusion Criteria: * Study-specific criteria: * Subjects with systemic or ophthalmological disease that could affect the retina, impair fundus examination (severe cataract, severe/decompensated diabetes), or cause visual acuity below 20/40, intraocular pressure \> 20 mmHg, "cup to disc" ratio \> 0. 5, or severe refractive errors * Subjects with extremely severe neurological impairment, with a significant impact on the ability to perform most ophthalmological examinations; for example in patients for whom sitting, even with back support and cannot be maintained. The possibility of including subjects with a severe form will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis, according to the opinion of the principal investigator and the ophthalmologist. * General exclusion criteria relating to regulations: * Failure to obtain consent (adults, non-emancipated minors, persons not in a position to give consent, research carried out in emergency situations, etc.), * Participants who have reached the maximum amount of compensation for their participation inresearch, * Non-affiliation with a social security scheme, * Persons placed under court protection, * Person taking part in research.
