Identifying Biomarkers in ALS Patients Using Neuronal Derived Extracellular Vesicles
Rationale. ENGRAILED1 (EN1) is under consideration as a therapeutic approach for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). To assess EN1 target engagement in patients, we aim to identify EN1-responsive biomarkers suitable as Prentice-style surrogate endpoints. We will discover candidates by RNA-seq of neuron-derived extracellular vesicles (NVEC) immuno-isolated from blood. Establishing such biomarkers …
Ultra-high-caloric, Fatty Diet in ALS
This study aims at evaluating efficacy and tolerability of an ultra-high-caloric, fatty diet (UFD) compared to placebo in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
Hypercaloric PEG Nutrition in ALS to Sustain Energy Homeostasis
Weight loss is a known negative prognostic factor in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Over the last years, various interventional studies targeting the energy deficit in ALS yielded promising results; however,it is still unclear which kind of nutrition or nutritional supplement is most beneficial. Moreover, there is lack of evidence regarding …
A Study of Ranolazine in ALS
The purpose of this study is to evaluate safety, effect on cramps, function and quality of life of ranolazine versus placebo for the treatment of ALS.
Confirmatory Study 3 of KPS-0373 in Patients With Spinocerebellar Degeneration
This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, phase III study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of KPS-0373 given once daily after breakfast in 142 patients with spinocerebellar degeneration . This study consists of the 4-week screening period, 24-week treatment period, and 4-week follow-up period.
Trial on the Biological and Clinical Effects of Acetyl-L-carnitine in ALS
Phase II/III multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial on acetyl-L-carnitine (ALCAR) in subjects living with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Primary study aim: The clinical objective consists of assessing the efficacy of ALCAR (two different dosages will be tested: 1.5g/day and 3g/day) on the progression of functional disability (loss of self-sufficiency), as …
EIM Via the Myolex mScan as an ALS Biomarker
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) has been traditionally considered incurable and untreatable. But starting in the 1990s with the introduction of Riluzole, therapies are being discovered and ultimately approved for slowing disease progression. Many pharmaceutical companies continue to seek new therapeutic approaches. One critical aspect of all clinical trials is the …
Needs of ALS Patients With C9orf72 Mutation and Their Caregivers
Individuals with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) carrying the C9orf72 HRE mutation (C9Pos) often exhibit different phenotypic traits compared to other patients (C9Neg), presenting a more aggressive form of the disease, with also a higher frequency of comorbidity with frontotemporal dementia (ALS-FTD) and a greater prevalence of family history of ALS …
The Safety, Tolerability and Preliminary Efficacy of Derived Motor Neuron Progenitor Cells (XS228CN) in Subjects With Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
A Phase I Study to Assess the Safety, Tolerability and Preliminary Efficacy of Derived Motor Neuron Progenitor Cells (XS228CN) in Subjects with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
A Physiotherapy Intervention Study in Patients With Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)
This study investigates whether an individualized physiotherapy program, tailored to each patient's specific motor deficits, can better support physical function compared with usual care physiotherapy in people with ALS. The individualized program is guided by diagnostic assessments using a robotic leg press system, which helps identify strengths and weaknesses in …
