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.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
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)
Secondary outcomes
Identification of new dysimmune abnormalities
Lymphocyte phenotyping, cytokines quantification
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)
Identification of new genetic pathways associated to dysimmune encephalitis and status
Genetic biomarkers
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).
