Overview

Most psychiatric research is based on the nosographic classifications used in current practice. At present, there is no diagnostic or prognostic biomarker for psychiatric pathologies commonly used in clinical practice. The study hypothesis is that peripheral inflammatory biomarkers could be common to several psychiatric disorders, in particular psychotic disorders (bipolar disorder, schizophreniform disorder, schizophrenia, depressive episode with psychotic features). The aim of this project is to set up a bio-collection of biological samples (peripheral blood samples) with associated phenotypic data (assessment of various symptoms using standardized scales in patients whose blood is sampled). The setting up of this cohort follows on from work carried out on a PsyCourse cohort also using a transdiagnostic approach in psychiatry, in order to be able to collaborate within a European research project.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
