Study to Evaluate Sepofarsen in Subjects With Leber Congenital Amaurosis (LCA) Type 10 (HYPERION)

The purpose of this double-masked, randomized, placebo-controlled, paired-eye study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of Sepofarsen in subjects with Leber Congenital Amaurosis (LCA) due to the c.2991+1655A\>G (p.Cys998X) mutation in the CEP290.

Study of Morphological, Spectral and Metabolic Manifestations of Neurological Complications in Covid-19 Patients

Viral pandemics, such as HIV and SARS-Cov-V1, have shown that they can lead to acute and / or delayed neurological complications. At the actual context of the pandemic Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), neurological manifestations seem to be confirmed since in 85% of COVID-19 patients, present neurological symptoms, including anosmia, ageusia, periorbital pain, dizziness, fatigue, even moderate headache, moderate memory and/or behavioral disorders. However, these neurological manifestations are not well studied and their radiological features are not well described. It is therefore important to assess these potential neurological complications in COVID-19 patients. To the investigator knowledge, there is no previous study in the literature describing spectral brain changes in COVID + patients. Thus, the goal of this work is to describe the radiological semiology using MRI and particularly Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopic (MRS) biomarkers in the evaluation of acute and / or delayed brain damage in COVID + patients presenting a neurological manifestations that are initially related to the cranial nerves damage.

Retrospective Epidemiological Study of Patients in the National Cohort of the French TMA Center

Immune thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (iTTP) is a rare, life-threatening disorder characterized by microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, severe thrombocytopenia, and ischemic organ damage due to microvascular thrombosis. It results from a severe deficiency in the von Willeband factor (vWF)-cleaving protease ADAMTS13, primarily caused by autoantibodies that inhibit its activity. This deficiency leads to accumulation of ultra-large vWF multimers, triggering pathological platelet aggregation and widespread microthrombi. iTTP typically presents with acute neurological symptoms (e.g., confusion, seizures, coma), cardiac events (e.g., myocardial infarction), and multiorgan dysfunction. Without prompt treatment-plasma exchange, immunosuppression, and the vWF inhibitor caplacizumab-mortality exceeds 90%. Survivors face long-term risks, including cardiovascular complications, cognitive impairment, and reduced life expectancy. The TWI-LIGHT protocol is a national retrospective epidemiological study coordinated by the French Reference Center for Thrombotic Microangiopathies (CNR-MAT). It aims to analyze long-term outcome in \>1,200 iTTP patients diagnosed between October 2000 and June 2024. The study leverages pseudonymized data from the CNR-MAT registry, collected via a secure REDCap database. Key Objectives: 1. Primary: Assess the impact of cardiovascular risk factors (e.g., hypertension, diabetes) and ADAMTS13 activity on life expectancy in iTTP survivors. 2. Secondary: * Evaluate disease burden in underrepresented groups (pregnant/postpartum women, children, elderly patients). * Analyze the influence of new therapies (caplacizumab, rituximab, recombinant ADAMTS13) on care pathways. * Identify prognostic factors and treatment practices. * Characterize neurocognitive outcomes and quality of life post-iTTP. Methodology: * Design: Non-interventional, retrospective (MR-004 compliance), using data from standard care. * Inclusion: Patients with confirmed iTTP (thrombocytopenia, hemolytic anemia, ADAMTS13 \<10%), diagnosed within the study period, and ≥1 year of follow-up. * Exclusion: Cancer-associated iTTP, severe sepsis, or patient opposition to data reuse. * Data Collection: Clinical, biological, and therapeutic variables from hospital/consultation records, including cardiovascular events, ADAMTS13 activity, and neurocognitive assessments. * Analysis: Kaplan-Meier survival curves and Cox regression models to identify risk factors for non-iTTP-related death. Expected Outcomes: * Prevalence of cardiovascular comorbidities and their correlation with ADAMTS13 activity. * Insights into iTTP subtypes (e.g., gestational, pediatric) and therapeutic efficacy. * Evidence-based strategies for personalized long-term management. Ethical Framework: * AP-HP-sponsored, with oversight from Sorbonne University's ethics committee. * Patients informed of data reuse with opt-out rights; data archived for 15 years. This landmark study will inform clinical guidelines, optimize survivor care, and address unmet needs in iTTP management through comprehensive, real-world data analysis.
