potentiALS - Quality of Life Among Patients With Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a rapidly progressing and disabling disease with the majority of patients dying 3-5 years after symptom onset. Given the high symptom burden, many patients and its caregivers are highly distressed. However, few programs to improve mental health for this patient group exist, and the sparse …
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 …
A Patient-tailored Genetic/Biomarker/iPSC Combined Approach in ALS - PERMEALS
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a severe and incurable neurodegenerative disease of motor neurons with a dramatic socio-economic impact on the national health system. ALS is a complex disorder with the majority of cases being sporadic and about 15% of cases showing familial history. It is characterized by high genetic …
Multicenter ALS Imaging Study
This is a multi-site study of ALS participants and healthy controls who will undergo brain and cervical spine MRIs and NfL blood testing at up-to 4 time points over the course of a year. The primary goal is to identify objective biomarkers of disease progression that are biologically relevant, linearly …
Impairments of Neuro-muscular Communication in Motor-Neuron Disease: A Bio-Marker for Early and Personalised Diagnosis
Motor neuron disease (MND) or ALS is a nervous system disease. ALS leads to a loss of movement ability that eventually leads to death. At the moment, there is no known treatment for ALS. Early diagnosis in individuals improves clinical care and facilitates timely entry into clinical trials. However, current …
Measurement and Impact of Physical Impairment in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis: Use of Digital Technologies - A Precision ALS Project
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), the most common form of Motor Neuron Disease (MND), is a neurodegenerative disease. At present there are limited treatment options for this disease which progressively affects physical function, i.e., the ability to speak, breathe, walk, and perform activities of daily living. ALS is a rare disease, …
Creation of a Clinical Database for the Study of Phenotypic Variability in Motor Neuron Diseases
Study Description: Characterization of Motor Neuron Disease Phenotypes The goal of this observational study is to understand the clinical presentation of motor neuron disease (MND) in patients attending the Neurology Department of the Istituto Auxologico Italiano. The main questions it aims to answer are: What are the specific clinical phenotypes …
Biomarker-driven Phenotypic Dissection of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
The goal of this observational study is to understand the clinical variability in a population of ALS patients using multidimensional biomarkers. The main questions it aims to answer are: Which set of biomarkers explain genotypic-phenotypic correlations in ALS? Which set of biomarkers can be used to subdivide the ALS population …
Polish Version Fatigue Severity Scale
Fatigue is one of main symptoms in multiple sclerosis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and other diseases with profound effect on quality of life and professional and social functioning. Not infrequent it is misdiagnosed as sleepiness or other symptom. Fatigue severity scale is a time efficient and easy to apply instrument to …
Discovery and Validation of Protein Structural Complexes in Circulating Biofluids As Novel Biomarkers for Early Diagnosis, Prognosis and Therapeutic Management of Patients Affected by Neurodegenerative Disorders
Neurodegenerative disorders (NDDs), such as Parkinson¿s disease (PD), Alzheimer¿s disease (AD), Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) are characterized by aggregation and intracellular accumulation of misfolded proteins, which are believed to play a key role in synaptic dysfunction and neuronal death. Protein structural complexes in biofluids have been …
