Accumbofrontal Tract Study in 2 Populations of Patients With Anorexia Nervosa and Obsessional Compulsive Disorder and Healthy Volunteer (ACCUMBENS)

March 29, 2022 updated by: Poitiers University Hospital

Multimodal MRI Study of Accumbofrontal Tract in Anorexia Nervosa and Obessional Compulsive Disorder : Search for Structural and Functional Changes Between Orbito-frontal Cortex and Accumbens Nucleus Subdivisions

Restrictive anorexia nervosa and TOCs are psychiatric diseases which shares a common pathophysiological substrate We hypothesize that anorexia patients and patients with OCD have structural and functional changes in the accumbofrontal tract. The main objective of this study will be to compare the structure and the connectivity of this tract in MRI with diffusion sequences (DTI tractography) and resting-state, in 3 distinct populations of anorexic patients, patients with OCD and healthy patients. The role of the accumbo-frontal tract in the cortico-striato-hypothalamo-cortical circuit seems to be established. DTI tractography will allow the measurement of functional anisotropy (FA), a parameter that evaluates the diffusion of water molecules along the white matter fibers, and therefore the potential alteration of the studied tract. Resting state sequences will allow to estimate the BOLD signal and the functionality of the tract.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.

Enrollment (Actual)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years to 65 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

Genders Eligible for Study

Female

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Female patients
  • Age between 18 and 65 years
  • Subjects free to give their written consent

For anorexia nervosa :

  • Patients meeting the diagnostic criteria for anorexia nervosa according to DSM5 (American Psychiatric Association): low weight (<85% of expected weight for age and height), fear of gaining weight or becoming fat, distortion of body image, and amenorrhea for more than 3 months
  • Treatment with at least one antidepressant and one anxiolytic

For OCD :

  • Patients meeting the diagnostic criteria of OCDs according to DSM5 (American Psychiatric Association) : presence of obsessions and / or compulsions, resulting in clinically significant suffering (loss of at least one hour per day) or impairment at the social, occupational level or in another important area of life. These symptoms are not due to the physiological effects of a substance or a general medical condition and cannot be better explained by the symptoms of another psychiatric disorder.
  • Patients with homogeneous OCD in obsession and compulsion.
  • Normal weight compared to expected weight for age and height
  • Treatment with at least one antidepressant and one anxiolytic

ForHealthy volunteer

•Normal weight compared to expected weight for age and height

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Mental retardation (WAIS-IV QI <70)
  • Primary Amenorrhea
  • Absolute contraindication or relative to the realization of a magnetic resonance imaging without injection of contrast medium
  • Old or intercurrent psychotic pathology

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Fractional Anisotropy (probabilistic tractography)
Time Frame: 20 minutes
Evaluate the mean functional anisotropy value for fiber bundles connecting the orbito-frontal cortex and the nucleus accumbens
20 minutes

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
BOLD Signal (resting state)
Time Frame: 20 minutes
Evaluate the value of the BOLD-signal of the fiber bundles connecting the orbito-frontal cortex and the nucleus accumbens
20 minutes

Study Start (Actual)

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
