About this trial

COLETTE is an interventional study for which blood, cerebrospinal fluid and post-mortem tissues are collected in patients with status epilepticus or epilepsy associated to dysimmune encephalitis as well as in control patients, to better understand the pathophysiology of these severe epileptic disorders.

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Patients aged 2 years or above, with status epilepticus.

Affiliation to a French social security system excluding "Aide Médicale" Etat (AME).

Patients or relatives have been informed and given free informed and written consent to participate

Patients under legal protection (guardianship, curatorship) or not

Disqualifiers

Women with known or clinically detected pregnancy.

Patient deprived of liberty

Patients with known neurodegenerative disease.

Women with known or clinically detected pregnancy.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Identification of (i) antibodies in the plasma and in the cerebrospinal fluid of patients with dysimmune encephalitis and (ii) biomarkers for neuronal death in the plasma and in the cerebrospinal fluid of patients with status epilepticus

Looking for antibodies with cell-based binding assay or monospecific recombinant assay. Identification of biomarkers for neuronal death with electrochemiluminometric sandwich immunoassays (Kryptor and ModularE170, Roche Diagnostic)

Time frame
9 months and 24 months

Secondary outcomes

1

Identification of new dysimmune abnormalities

Lymphocyte phenotyping, cytokines quantification

Time frame
9 months and 24 months
2

Identification of specific EEG patterns associated to dysimmune encephalitis and/or status epilepticus

EEG signals will be reviewed and classifiyed according to a EEG-based seizure build-up score in status epilepticus (EaSiBUSSEs)

Time frame
9 months and 24 months
3

Identification of new genetic pathways associated to dysimmune encephalitis and status

Genetic biomarkers

Time frame
9 months and 24 months
4

Identification of new metabolic pathway that may participate in the excitotoxicity observed in status epilepticus or dysimmune encephalitis

Looking for diagnostic and prognosis biomarkers. Characterization of the brain cholesterol homeostasis with UPLC-MS/MS method and enzymatic assays. Evaluation of new biomarkers (proteins, lipids, genes).

Time frame
9 months and 24 months
