This study is recruiting. It focuses on bipolarity and currently lists participation information in France.
Key information made simple
What is this study testing?
This study is testing whether urine collection may be useful for adults experiencing bipolarity.
What would participation involve?
Participants may complete study activities around urine collection, complete questionnaires or follow-up assessments, attend study visits with the research team. The registry lists locations in France.
Who is it mainly for?
This study appears to be mainly for adults with bipolarity.
What should you check before joining?
Ask about whether there is a comparison group, how many visits or travel steps are needed, the exact eligibility criteria.
Your next step
The official record suggests in-person participation through a clinic, with sites including Hôpital Fernand-Widal in Paris. Participation appears to center on assessments, scans, or samples rather than trying a new treatment. The main fit is usually matching the main diagnosis and being able to understand the study and consent, while common reasons not to take part include active substance or alcohol problems that could affect the results and pregnancy or breastfeeding. The official record does not list a trial phase, which usually means the study is focused on observation rather than testing a staged treatment.
Questions to ask before joining
- What are the exact eligibility criteria, and what could exclude someone?
- How many visits, assessments, or follow-ups are expected, and over what period?
- What risks, side effects, practical burdens, or alternatives should be understood first?
- Who should be contacted to confirm locations, timing, compensation, and next steps?

Questions about this study
What is this study trying to understand?
This study is exploring observational follow-up for people with bipolarity. Participants may complete study visits, assessments, or follow-up activities defined by the research team. Direct benefit is not guaranteed. The detailed objective is not always clearly listed in the public registry; the study team can confirm.
Does this study involve biological samples, imaging, or biomarkers?
This appears to be a biological / biomarker / imaging study involving urine collection, Level of Proteins, Level of mRNA and miRNA, Level of plasmatic and intraerythrocytic lithium. The phase is not clearly listed in the public registry. Phase is mostly relevant for medication studies and some device studies. For this study, it may be more useful to look at what is required, the duration, visits, and eligibility criteria.
Do I need to want to stop or reduce tobacco use to participate?
The public registry appears to mention tobacco, nicotine, alcohol, cannabis, or another addiction-related topic. Ask the study team whether you need to want to stop, reduce, already be abstinent, or simply meet use-related criteria. Eligibility must be confirmed by the study team.
What would I likely need to do?
You may need to provide biological samples, complete lab tests, or take part in imaging or measurement procedures. The listed study locations suggest that at least part of participation may involve a physical site. Ask whether some steps can be done remotely.
What should I check about samples, imaging, data, and possible discomfort?
If the study involves samples, imaging, or biomarkers, ask what is collected, how it is stored, who can access results, whether there may be discomfort, and whether results are shared with you. For any mental health study, also ask who to contact if you feel worse, whether participation may affect current treatment, whether you can stop, and who confirms eligibility.
Will I need to travel or attend in-person visits?
The listed study locations suggest that at least part of participation may involve a physical site. Ask which sites are open, how many visits are expected, whether any steps can be done remotely, and whether travel costs or compensation are listed.
Who is behind this study?
This study is sponsored by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris, which appears to be unknown or unclear. The listed contact or investigator is Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris, affiliated with Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris. If available, it can be useful to check the sponsor website, collaborators, investigator affiliation, and the official registry before deciding. HopeStage does not judge the quality of a sponsor or researcher, but helps you identify what to verify.
Can I still join this study?
The registry indicates that this study is currently recruiting. This does not mean you are eligible: the study team must confirm the criteria, available locations, and next steps.
