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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 is testing whether a non-invasive brain imaging technique called fNIRS can reliably measure brain function in people with Fragile X syndrome or Creatine Transporter Deficiency. Researchers will use a cartoon-based visual stimulus to record brain activity and compare it with clinical assessments. The goal is to develop an objective biomarker to aid diagnosis and evaluate future treatments. The study enrolls 118 participants aged 5 to 35.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a simple, non-invasive brain scan to help diagnose and monitor treatment effects in Fragile X and Creatine Transporter Deficiency.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage observational study, not a treatment trial. The imaging method may not prove reliable enough for clinical use, and results may not apply to all patients.

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 118 people

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

Started

Mar 2026

Expected to finish

Mar 2029

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

5 to 60 years

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Accepted

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

Inclusion Criteria : CTD male patients : * male * having a confirmed mutation in the SLC6A8 gene * ≥ 5 to ≤ 35 years old * whose maternal language is French, * having signed the informed consent and/or for whom parents (for children)/legal guardian (for protected adults) have signed the informed consent. * affiliated to national Health Insurance system (sécurité sociale) or parents/legal guardian affiliated to national health insurance system CTD female patients : * female CTD patients having a confirmed mutation in the SLC6A8 gene, * aged \> 5 to \< 60 years, * whose maternal language is French (for the patients included in France), * having signed the informed consent and/or for whom parents (for children)/legal guardian (for protected adults) have signed the informed consent. * affiliated to national Health Insurance system (sécurité sociale) or parents/legal guardian affiliated to national health insurance system FXS patients : * male * having a confirmed full mutation in the FMR1 gene (\>200 GCC repeats) * ≥ 5 to ≤ 35 years old * whose maternal language is French, * having signed the informed consent and/or for whom parents (for children)/legal guardian (for protected adults) have signed the informed consent. * affiliated to national Health Insurance system (sécurité sociale) or parents/legal guardian affiliated to national health insurance system Sex- and chronological age-matched male controls : * male * ≥ 5 to ≤ 35 years old * whose maternal language is French, * having signed the informed consent and/or for whom parents have signed the informed consent. * affiliated to national Health Insurance system (sécurité sociale) or parents/legal guardian affiliated to national health insurance system Sex- and chronological age-matched female controls : * female, * aged \> 5 to \< 60 years * whose maternal language is French (for the patients included in France), * having signed the informed consent and/or for whom parents/legal guardian have signed the informed consent. * affiliated to national Health Insurance system (sécurité sociale) or parents/legal guardian affiliated to national health insurance system. Each CTD patient will be matched to a sex- and chronological age-matched control. Exclusion Criteria: CTD male and female patients : * Refusal of the subject and/or the subject's parents/legal guardian to sign the informed consent * Refusal of the subject and/or the subject's parents/legal guardian to be informed of possible abnormalities detected during the neuropsychological assessment. FXS patients : * Refusal of the subject and/or the subject's parents/legal guardian to sign the informed consent * Refusal of the subject and/or the subject's parents/legal guardian to be informed of possible abnormalities detected during the neuropsychological assessment. Sex- and chronological age-matched male and female controls : * Refusal of the subject and/or the subject's parents/legal guardian to sign the informed consent * Refusal of the subject and/or the subject's parents/legal guardian to be informed of possible abnormalities detected during the neuropsychological assessment. * History of neurological or psychiatric disorder, * Repetition of a grade, * Learning disability requiring rehabilitation (speech therapy, psychomotor or oculomotor therapy).
