NCT03948178
This study provides an opportunity for subjects in the REFALS (3119002; NCT03505021) study to continue treatment with oral levosimendan. The study will also provide more information about long-term safety and effectiveness of oral levosimendan in patients with ALS. This is an open-label study, so that all eligible subjects that complete the double-blind REFALS study (48-weeks of treatment) will have the opportunity to receive oral levosimendan treatment. The primary objective, in addition to continuing treatment for subjects enrolled in the REFALS study, is to evaluate long-term safety of oral levosimendan in ALS patients. Another important objective is to explore long-term effectiveness of oral levosimendan in the treatment of patients with ALS. This study is open only to patients taking part in the REFALS study.
NCT01988584
The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and effectiveness of two types of stem cells,(either banked cord blood or bone marrow), in children between the ages of 2 to 10 years with CP. 15 children with banked cord blood at CBR and 15 children without banked cord blood will be enrolled into the study. The study involves one baseline/treatment visit and 3 follow-up visits at 6 months, 12 months, and 2 years. Five children in each group will be randomized to a placebo control group at the baseline/treatment visit. Parents will not be told if their child received stem cells or a placebo until the 12 month follow-up visit. At that time parents may elect to have their child receive the stem cell treatment; either bone marrow harvest or umbilical cord blood if banked with CBR. All study visits will be conducted at the UTHealth Medical School and Children's Memorial Hermann Hospital in Houston, Texas. As of 1/21/2014 we have met our enrollment limit for children without banked cord blood undergoing bone marrow harvest for stem cells.
NCT02795897
The purpose of this study is to look for abnormal genes and gene expression profiles that help determine why a person develops amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and related motor neuron diseases (MND) and why their symptoms present and progress with a particular pattern.
NCT03505021
This study will evaluate whether prolonged oral levosimendan can preserve respiratory function more effectively than placebo, resulting in better patient functionality as measured by the ALSFRS-R scale. In this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, multicenter study, subjects are allocated in a 2:1 ratio to receive either levosimendan (1 -2 mg daily) or placebo for 48 weeks. The primary endpoint is slow vital capacity (SVC) at 12 weeks, with the impact on patient function assessed through 48 weeks, adjusted for patient outcome, using ALSFRS-R (combined assessment of function and survival, CAFS). Other important efficacy measures include time to respiratory events, clinical global impression (CGI), assessment of dyspnea using the Borg scale and sleep scales (Pittsburgh sleep quality index and Epworth sleepiness scale). Patient safety is monitored using conventional methods including adverse events, safety laboratory tests, vital signs and 12-lead EKG. Following screening and baseline visits, patients attend the clinic at 2, 4, 8, 12, 24, 36 and 48 weeks, with telephone assessments conducted at weeks 18, 30 and 42. An end of study visit is performed 14-25 days after the last study treatment administration. The study will be monitored by an independent data and safety monitoring board. A long-term extension study will be available for patients completing the study.
NCT01622088
The purpose of the study is to collect long-term safety data from subjects with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) exposed to dexpramipexole.
NCT03391765
The purpose of this study was to assess the long-term safety and efficacy of ABBV-8E12 (tilavonemab) in participants with progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP).
NCT00790582
This is a Phase II screening study of lithium carbonate in ALS. The purpose of this study is to find out if lithium carbonate is safe to be used in people with ALS and if it can slow the progression of the disease. Since there is no placebo in this study, all patients will be taking lithium carbonate.
NCT03160898
The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of CK-2127107 (hereafter referred to as reldesemtiv) versus placebo on respiratory function and other measures of skeletal muscle function in patients with ALS.
NCT02496767
This study assessed the effect of tirasemtiv versus placebo on respiratory function in patients with ALS.
NCT00931944
This is an open-label, multi-center study designed to extend the evaluation of the safety, tolerability, and clinical effects of oral administration of KNS-760704 in patients with ALS.
NCT06408727
An Intermediate Expanded Access Protocol (EAP) with CNM-Au8 for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis for NIH Grant RFA-NS-23-012
NCT04944784
The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of reldesemtiv versus placebo on functional outcomes in ALS.
NCT00680264
The purpose of this study is to determine the radiographic and clinical outcomes of Scoliosis surgical and non-operative treatment in patients with Cerebral Palsy.
NCT03491462
A multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of arimoclomol in amyotropic lateral sclerosis (ALS)
NCT04815967
Phase 2/3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single-treatment, multicenter trial assessing the efficacy and safety of MYOBLOC for the treatment of upper limb spasticity in adults followed by an open-label extension safety trial.
NCT03520517
Phase 1, open-label study of BHV-0223 in ALS.
NCT02658916
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of multiple intravenous (IV) infusions of BIIB092 in participants with Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP). The study will also assess the pharmacodynamic (PD) effects of BIIB092 on cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) N-terminal tau, pharmacokinetics (PK), and immunogenicity of BIIB092 in participants with PSP.
NCT02365922
Frontotemporal Lobar Degeneration (FTLD) is the neuropathological term for a collection of rare neurodegenerative diseases that correspond to four main overlapping clinical syndromes: frontotemporal dementia (FTD), primary progressive aphasia (PPA), corticobasal degeneration syndrome (CBS) and progressive supranuclear palsy syndrome (PSPS). The goal of this study is to build a FTLD clinical research consortium to support the development of FTLD therapies for new clinical trials. The consortium, referred to as Advancing Research and Treatment for Frontotemporal Lobar Degeneration (ARTFL), will be headquartered at UCSF and will partner with six patient advocacy groups to manage the consortium. Participants will be evaluated at 14 clinical sites throughout North America and a genetics core will genotype all individuals for FTLD associated genes.
NCT03626012
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of BIIB078 in adults with C9ORF72-Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). The secondary objectives of this study are to evaluate the pharmacokinetic profile of BIIB078 and to evaluate the effects of BIIB078 on clinical function. As the first-in-human study, the study enrolls a small number of participants in each cohort. Every participant in a cohort is treated with the same dose or placebo. The study is designed to evaluate and confirm the safety of each dose before enrolling and exposing new participants to a higher dose in the next cohort.
