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 …
Optimizing INITIation of Non-invasive Ventilation in ALS Patients
Objective: The primary objective in this study is to identify which (pheno)type of ALS patient has the most benefit from NIV in improving quality of life. Study population: Adult patients with ALS, PLS (Primary Lateral Sclerosis) of PSMA (Progressive Spinal Muscular Atrophy) in the Netherlands. Patients will be included during …
Validation of Czech Language Versions of Questionnaires for ALS Patients' Functional Status and Biomarker Long-term Follow-up
Questionnaires and scales used to assess the clinical status and quality of life of patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) are an important tool to monitor the disease progression and current needs of patients. The use of these tools (and in particular their combination) allows to cover the whole spectrum …
Patients' and Caregivers' Views of Multidimensional Care in Amyotropic Lateral Sclerosis in Germany
The progressive loss of physical functioning resulting from ALS leads also to high psychosocial burden for those affected, and organizational challenges related to medical care and aids. A multidimensional and -professional care is advised in order to meet the complex requirements of this disease. In Germany, medical care structures may …
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 …
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 …
LONgitudinal and Integrated Evaluation of Biomarkers in reLation to phenotYpe in ALS
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by progressive degeneration of upper and lower motor neurons, leading to paralysis and death. Despite its uniformly fatal outcome, ALS shows marked clinical heterogeneity with respect to phenotype, progression rate, cognitive involvement, and survival. This heterogeneity limits prognostic accuracy and complicates …
