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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 collects blood samples from 100 people with rare brain diseases like adrenoleukodystrophy and metachromatic leukodystrophy. Researchers will study immune cells called macrophages to see if they affect how the disease progresses. No treatment is given; the goal is to learn more about these conditions.

Who can take part

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

Who is studied

Pediatric and adult populations. Both affected (C-CALD, AMN, A-CALD, MLD, ALSP), presymptomatic children carrying ABCD1 mutations (PRE-ALD), presymptomatic patient adults carrying CSF1R mutations (PRE-ALSP) and age-matched control subjects will be enrolled (N=10/group). Minor subjects (C-CALD, MLD, PRE-ALD and controls) will be included, based on childhood onset of C-CALD and MLD

Ages

15 months to 60 years

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Accepted

You do not need to have the condition being studied to take part.

Inclusion Criteria: Boys aged between 3 and 18 years (inclusive) diagnosed with C-CALD (elevated levels of VLCFA and leukodystrophy at brain MRI) * Boys or girls aged between 15 months and 18 years (inclusive) diagnosed with MLD (low ARSA activity and accumulation of sulfatides in urine) * Presymptomatic boys carrying ABCD1 mutations aged between 3 and 18 years (inclusive) (PRE-ALD) * Adult males or females aged between 18 and 60 diagnosed with MLD (low ARSA activity and accumulation of sulfatides in urine) * Males aged between 18 and 60 years diagnosed with AMN (elevated VLCFA and clinical symptoms of AMN without leukodystrophy at brain MRI) * Males aged between 18 and 60 years diagnosed with CALD (elevated VLCFA with leukodystrophy at brain MRI) * Adult males or females aged between 18 and 60 years diagnosed with ALSP (CSF1R mutation and leukodystrophy at brain MRI) * Presymptomatic patient adults (males or females) carrying CSF1R mutations (PRE-ALSP) * Children (15 months-18 years) without neurologic disease (no obvious neurological symptoms, normal neurologic examination) * Adults aged between 18 and 60 years without neurologic disease (no overt neurological symptoms) * Informed consent obtained : * from the parents or guardian for children patients and children controls; * from subject himself for adult patients and adult controls. Exclusion Criteria: * Participation to a therapeutic clinical trial * Treatment likely to modify the immune system * Unable to have a blood collection (i.e. low hemoglobin level at the investigator's judgment) * Any other reason, to the discretion of the investigator * Children or adults without health insurance or social security
