rTMS Improves Functions in Spinocerebellar Ataxia
Spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) is a group of inherited brain disorders. SCA often result in poor limb coordination. This study aims to discover the effects of repeated transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on balance & gait in SCA. The hypothesis of this study is that rTMS might improve SCA limb functional performance.
A Safety and Pharmacokinetics Trial of VO659 in SCA1, SCA3 and HD
The goal of this first-in-human clinical trial is to assess the safety and tolerability of four doses of a new study drug called VO659 in people with genetic disorders called spinocerebellar ataxia type 1, type 3 or Huntington's disease. Another aim is to determine the concentrations of the study drug …
Customized Masks in Non-Invasive Mechanical Ventilation
In non-invasive mechanical ventilation (NIMV), the interface is the primary determinant of success, as adherence and quality of therapy mainly depend on it. The aim of this study is to investigate the usefulness of a customised mask approach to minimise leakage and upper airway obstruction. It will focus on ventilator …
Phase IA Study of AAVrh.10hFXN Gene Therapy for the Cardiomyopathy of Friedreich's Ataxia
The purpose of this study is to test the safety and preliminary efficacy of AAVrh.10hFXN to treat the cardiomyopathy associated with Friedreich's ataxia (FA). AAVrh.10hFXN is a serotype rh.10 adeno-associated virus gene transfer vector coding for Frataxin (FXN). The drug is administered intravenously. This is a phase 1, open label, …
Combined Respiratory Training in Persons With ALS
The goal of this interventional trial is to learn about lung volume recruitment (LVR) and expiratory muscle strength training (EMST) in a total of up to 39 patients diagnosed with ALS. The following aims will be addressed: Determine the impact of combined LVR and EMST on cough strength and respiratory …
Investigating the Genetic and Phenotypic Presentation of Ataxia and Nucleotide Repeat Diseases
The purpose of this study is to create a repository for cerebellar ataxia and nucleotide repeat diseases in order to fully investigate the genetic and phenotypic presentations of both.
PET Imaging of Cyclooxygenases in Neurodegenerative Brain Disease
Background About 5 million adults in the U.S. have Alzheimer s disease or another adult-onset neurodegenerative disorder. Many studies have found that inflammation in the brain contributes to these diseases. Researchers want to find a better way to measure this inflammation. Objective To learn whether COX-1 and/or COX-2 is elevated …
Longitudinal Tracking of Patients Diagnosed With Neurodegenerative Movement Disorders
The purpose of this protocol is to create an active natural history cohort of patients with degenerative movement disorders, tracked in a clinical setting with clinical rating scales and neuroimaging. The overarching rationale is that neurodegenerative diseases may be heterogeneous, complex disorders. A new way of performing clinical trials in …
Fusion Rates of 3D Printed Porous Titanium Cages in Three and Four Level ACDFs
The purpose of this trial is to assess fusion rates in 3 and 4 level ACDFs in patients implanted with DePuy Conduit 3D printed titanium cages supplemented with SKYLINE Anterior Cervical Plate System and 1 CC DBM. This will be a non-inferiority study, looking to show that Synthes Conduit 3D …
Using the EHR to Advance Genomic Medicine Across a Diverse Health System
Given the expansion of indications for genetic testing and our understanding of conditions for which the results change medical management, it is imperative to consider novel ways to deliver care beyond the traditional genetic counseling visit, which are both amenable to large-scale implementation and sustainable. The investigators propose an entirely …
