Longitudinal Assessment of Autonomic and Sensory Nervous System in ALS
The goal of this interventional non-pharmacological study is to evaluate, using a multimodal approach, the progression of autonomic and sensory involvement in in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patients enrolled within 18 months from motor onset and its relationship with the progression of overall clinical disability. The main questions it aims …
New Magnetic Resonance Imaging Biomarkers in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a disabling and rapidly progressive neurodegenerative disorder. There is no treatment that significantly slows progression. Our project aims to find new biomarkers in MRI at three levels: cerebral, medullary and muscular. These markers could allow an earlier diagnosis of the disease by showing more specific …
Mitochondrial Capacity Boost in ALS (MICABO-ALS) Trial
The purpose of this research is to investigate the validity of a previous clinical trial named EH301, which showed beneficial effects of anti-oxidant therapies in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). If validated by this study, providing over-the-counter anti-oxidants would be a simple, low risk, low-cost approach to significantly slow …
Anticipated Patient and Caregiver Burden
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a degenerative neurological disease that causes progressive motor disability and is life threatening within a few years. The severity of the disease, the progressive loss of autonomy that leads to dependence on family and caregivers, and the lack of effective treatment sometimes leads patients to …
Randomized, Double-blind, Safety and Efficacy of Recombinant Human Erythropoietin in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
Erythropoietin is neuroprotective in animal models of neurodegenerative diseases including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The aim of this study was to determine the safety and feasibility of repetitive high-dose recombinant human erythropoietin (rhEPO) therapy in ALS patients.
Multi-centre Study to Evaluate ACAF Versus Laminoplasty in Treating Cervical Ossification of the Posterior Longitudinal Ligament
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy, safety and imaging outcomes between Anterior Controllable Antedisplacement and Fusion (ACAF) and Laminoplasty in the treatment of severe ossification of cervical posterior longitudinal ligament.
Efficacy and Tolerability of Beta Hydroxybutyrate Ester in Patients With Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)
Weight loss is a known negative prognostic factor in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). One potential mechanism of weight loss in ALS is a disturbance of the mitochondrial complex I which causes an energy deficit in affected cells. Over the last years, various interventional studies targeting the energy deficit in ALS …
Breathing With Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
The study aims to evaluate the effect of mechanical insufflator-exsufflator on the respiratory functions of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) patients evaluated via peak expiratory flow on cough (PEFC) measurements. The evolution of their PEFC is monitored to see if the curative management can have a positive impact on the latter.
Quantitative and Repetitive TMS in ALS - Stage 2
The goal of this open-label pilot clinical trial is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and target engagement of accelerated, high dose continuous theta-burst stimulation (cTBS) using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) in patients with ALS.
RAPA-501 Therapy for ALS
RAPA-501-ALS is a phase 2/3 expansion cohort study of RAPA-501 autologous hybrid TREG/Th2 cells in patients living with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (pwALS).
