About this study

This study aims at dynamically mapping local variations in the concentrations of monoaminergic neurotransmitters (for e.g. dopamine, serotonin and noradrenaline) in the human brain using fast-scan cyclic voltammetric recordings (FSCV). This study will be carried out on patients with neurological (for e.g. brain cancer, Parkinson disease (PD) or treatment-resistant epilepsy …) or psychiatric (for e.g. Treatment resistant obsessive compulsive disorder, depression, Tourette syndrome …) diseases who are eligible to neurosurgical treatment. Typical neurosurgical treatments non-exhaustively include: (1) deep brain stimulation (DBS) electrode implanted as part of the routine management of their pathology (PD, etc.) or as part of clinical trials (treatment resistant depression, resistant obsessive-compulsive disorder, etc.), as well as on patients whose pathology requires invasive exploration by stereotactic-electroencephalography (S-EEG) for therapeutic purposes, either as part of their routine management or as part of a clinical trial. The aim of this mapping is to assess fluctuations in local concentrations of key monoaminergic neurotransmitters involved in cognitive functions at an individual level, with a high temporal (sub-second) and spatial resolution, as well as a sensitivity, that was previously unattainable with other neuroimaging techniques. The data collected in this study will improve our understanding of the role of monoaminergic neurotransmitters in normal human cognition, as well as their dysfunctions in psychiatric and neurological disorders. These data may guide research into new therapeutic targets for the treatment of these pathologies. This study requires a large cohort of patients to build up the most comprehensive database possible, for which access to the information collected is essential.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Mar 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Variation in monoaminergic neurotransmitter concentrations (time frame: Day 0 to Month 2). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06853977, which also lists 32 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 5 Mar 2025.
