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 …
A Phase 1, SAD and MAD Study to Evaluate the Safety and Tolerability of FB418
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of oral doses of FB418 in healthy adult subjects and healthy elderly subjects.
Oral Intake of Enteral Nutrition Formula Preceding Placement and Feeding Via GTube and Its Impact on Formula Intolerance in pALS
The main objective of the proposed study is to evaluate if oral intake of EN formula preceding Gtube placement will impact tolerance upon placement and feeding via Gtube in pALS. This single arm intervention study all participants will receive the intervention and researchers will utilize validated indicators combined with clinical …
Plasmapheresis in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis With Autoantibody Against NRIP 2 (PALADIN2)
10-20% of patients with ALS have anti-NRIP autoantibody and the titer of anti-NRIP autoantibody is correlated with motor functional decline and mortality in ALS. The PALADIN2 clinical trial is a single arm study, which intends to enroll 20 ALS patients having anti-NRIP autoantibody in plasma. Patients will receive 3 courses …
High-Tech Rehabilitation Pathway for Chronic Adult Neuromuscular Diseases - Fit4MedRob-Chronic MND Project
The primary objective is to demonstrate, in a population of chronic neuromuscular disease the non-inferiority of a rehabilitation treatment integrated with robotic and/or technological devices compared to traditional rehabilitation treatment in the level of fatigue. The main question it aims to answer is: Are high-tech rehabilitation interventions, including robotic systems, …
Translating Single-cell Vulnerability Into Novel ALS Biomarkers and Therapeutic Targets: Towards a Liquid Nerve Biopsy
The progress of ALS research and clinical practice is hampered by lack of effective biomarkers to monitor disease onset and progression. In response to this urgent need, we will integrate single-cell system biology approaches, histopathological and clinical data from precious human nerve biopsies collected from living ALS patients during the …
Investigation on the Cortical Communication (CortiCom) System
The CortiCom system consists of 510(k)-cleared components: platinum PMT subdural cortical electrode grids, a Blackrock Microsystems patient pedestal, and an external NeuroPort Neural Signal Processor. Up to two grids will be implanted in the brain, for a total channel count of up to 128 channels, for six months. In each …
Investigating the Impact of Electrical Stimulation on Facial Pain, Jaw Movement and Oral Health in People With Motor Neuron Disease.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the impact of non-invasive electrical stimulation, when placed on the facial muscles can reduce facial pain and improve jaw mobility, and chewing in individuals with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and Primary Lateral Sclerosis (PLS). The secondary goal is to evaluate the …
Assessment of a Portable Digital Device for Quantified Analysis of Markerless Walking in Volunteers With Neuromuscular Diseases or Asymptomatic Volunteers
In recent years, knowledge of neuromuscular diseases has advanced considerably, and new therapeutic avenues are beginning to emerge. The proliferation of clinical trials has created a need to identify biomarkers that are both sensitive to changes and specific to the disease. Current gait tests only consider the time factor and …
Imaging Biomarkers in ALS
The purpose of the study is to determine if we are able to find one or more biomarkers of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and Primary Lateral Sclerosis (PLS) using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans at different levels, 3 tesla (3T) and 7 tesla (7T). A biomarker is a measurable characteristic …
