The Pre-symptomatic Familial Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (Pre-fALS) Study
Pre-fALS is a prospective natural history and biomarker study of people not yet affected with ALS, but who are at genetic risk for developing ALS. The investigators aim to recruit unaffected (healthy) people from familial ALS (fALS) pedigrees in which a known genetic mutation associated with ALS has been identified; …
Biospecimen Biorepository for the Study of ALS, ALS-FTD and Similar Neurodegenerative Disorders
The purpose of this study is to collect CSF and blood samples that can be used in future research studies to identify potential biomarkers in blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) collected in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) patients.
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.
Biomarkers in Different Types of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) Patients Being Treated With Edaravone
This study is being conducted to help the investigators better understand how the new FDA approved medication Edaravone (also known as Radicava) works in subsets of patients with ALS. The investigators are also trying to understand if there are specific ALS patients, with different presentations of ALS, who might benefit …
Continuous Measurement of Activity in Patients With Muscle Pathology and in Control Subjects. ActiSLA Part.
ActiSLA is a monocentric academic study. Patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis may be included on a voluntary basis. The investigators plan to include a group of approximately 20 patients with ALS. The investigators have planned to assess patient every three months for a year. On each visit, participants will undergo …
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 …
Derivation of Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells From an Existing Collection of Human Somatic Cells
Induced pluripotent stem cells potentially may be useful in the future as an unlimited source of cells for transplantation. The major goal of the project is to develop human iPS cells from various types of cell cultures or lines from existing collections. The IPS cells will be developed for modeling …
Dysphagia, QoL and Attitudes Towards PEG in ALS Patients
In Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, dysphagia has a high incidence. With deterioration of swallowing function, percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tube is recommended to ensure sufficient and safe oral intake. Dysphagia and PEG placement alter quality of life (QoL). However, QoL and attitudes toward PEG remain largely unexplored. The purpose of this …
Treatment of Inflammatory Myelitis and Optic Neuritis With Early vs Rescue Plasma Exchange (TIMELY-PLEX)
The purpose of this research is to evaluate if early vs rescue Therapeutic Plasma Exchange (PLEX) treatment algorithm leads to better visual outcomes in severe Optic Neuritis and leads to better neurological disability outcomes in severe Transverse Myelitis.
Clinical Study of Regulatory T Cells (Tregs) in the Treatment of Neurodegenerative Diseases
An open, multi- center phase Ⅰ clinical study evaluating the safety and efficacy of autologous human polyclonal regulatory T cell injection (NP001 cell injection) in patients with Neurodegenerative diseases (ALS).
