Ambroxol hydrochloride is an oral mucolytic drug available over-the-counter for many years as cough medicine. In 2009 it was found to also act as a pharmacological chaperone (PC) for mutant glucocerebrosidase, albeit in a several-fold higher dose. Unfortunately, due to its low cost, there have been no pharma-driven clinical trials …
By defining the strength and direction of connectivity patterns at rest and during movement across the basal ganglia-thalamocortical (BGTC) network we will characterize the role of individual circuits in motor performance and cognitive function, paving the way for future development of optimization algorithms for DBS that take advantage of this …
The increase in life expectancy in recent decades has led to a large number of people living into old age and an increased risk of developing Chronic Neurological Diseases (CNDs) such as neurodegenerative diseases. A higher cumulative risk of dementia has been largely demonstrated in Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and …
This phase I double-blind study focuses on the safety and feasibility of implanting autologous peripheral nerve tissue (PNT) into the substantia nigra area of the brain in persons who have been diagnosed with either Parkinson's disease (PD) or Multiple System Atrophy (MSA). 7 participants will be enrolled, with 4 participants …
The non-randomized, open-label phase I study aims to evaluate the safety, tolerability, biodistribution, radiation dosimetry, and pharmacokinetics of SST001 in healthy volunteers, patients with MSA and patients with PD.
This is a single-center, open-label clinical study designed to evaluate the imaging characteristics and safety of \[¹⁸F\]MODAG-009 in participants with Parkinson's disease (PD), Multiple system atrophy (MSA), and Healthy controls (HC). Approximately 13 participants will be enrolled in this study. Each participant will receive a single intravenous injection of \[¹⁸F\]MODAG-009, …
Comprehensive characterization of early-stage Parkinson's disease in patients with REM sleep behavior disorder Parkinson's disease (PD) is the fastest-growing neurodegenerative disorder worldwide, significantly affecting quality of life and causing substantial social and economic burdens. Currently, treatments for Parkinson's disease primarily manage symptoms through medication and lifestyle changes but cannot stop …
This study is a single-center, longitudinal study and will be conducted at the Institute for Neurodegenerative (INDD) Site in New Haven, CT. This study aims to recruit participants from the ongoing Parkinson's Progression Markers Initiative AV-133 Prodromal Imaging sub study \[PPMI 015\] to obtain a second comparison imaging scan. In …
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) has become a gold-standard symptomatic treatment option for Parkinson's disease (PD) and is also explored for a variety of other neurological disorders. The implantation of electrodes into deep brain areas has not only enabled the application of electrical stimuli, but has also provided researchers and clinicians …
The previous pilot study showed that two weeks of intensive expiratory muscle strength training (EMST) with SpiroGym was sufficient to significantly improve voluntary peak cough flow (PCF). The improvement was quantitatively comparable to that reported in other intensive EMST studies of longer duration. To explain this rapid improvement, we considered …
