What this trial studies
The PROLED study is a prospective and longitudinal examination of patients with various eating disorders, including Anorexia Nervosa and Bulimia Nervosa. It involves annual interviews, qualitative assessments, and the collection of biological samples such as blood, urine, and feces to better understand the psychopathology and pathophysiology of these conditions. The study aims to identify biomarkers that could inform prognosis and treatment responses, addressing the significant unmet medical needs in this area. By analyzing the data collected, researchers hope to uncover novel molecular targets for future treatments.
