Collection of Biological Samples From Patients With Rare Neurological Diseases

Prospective Collection of Biological Samples From Patients With Rare Neurological Diseases

Sponsor

University Hospital, Toulouse

Enrollment

1,000 participants

Start Date

Oct 12, 2020

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Nervous System Diseases

Summary

The aim of this project is to improve biological collections of patients presenting rare neurological disorders with known or suspected autoimmune origin. This collection will provide appropriate biological samples to identify new biomarkers and to be accessible to the medical, scientific and industrial communities for the identification of new therapeutic strategies.

Eligibility

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is collecting blood and tissue samples from patients with rare neurological diseases — especially those where the immune system may be attacking the nervous system. These samples will be stored to help researchers better understand and treat these conditions. **You may be eligible if...** - You have been diagnosed with a neurological (brain or nerve) condition that may involve the immune system - You are an adult or child with symptoms affecting the brain, spinal cord, or peripheral nerves - You have current social security coverage **You may NOT be eligible if...** - Your neurological condition is clearly not autoimmune in nature - You have anemia with hemoglobin below 10 g/dL - You are under legal guardianship or curatorship - You are pregnant or breastfeeding Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

This summary was AI-generated to explain the trial in plain language. It is not medical advice. Always discuss eligibility with your doctor before enrolling in a clinical trial.
