NCT03391765
The purpose of this study was to assess the long-term safety and efficacy of ABBV-8E12 (tilavonemab) in participants with progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP).
NCT00790582
This is a Phase II screening study of lithium carbonate in ALS. The purpose of this study is to find out if lithium carbonate is safe to be used in people with ALS and if it can slow the progression of the disease. Since there is no placebo in this study, all patients will be taking lithium carbonate.
NCT02460679
This is an open label study with 30-day run in phase to establish baseline parameters, 90-day treatment phase, and a 90-day withdrawal phase to determine long-term effects, duration of treatment response, and potential effects of EPI-589 therapy on known trajectory.
NCT03160898
The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of CK-2127107 (hereafter referred to as reldesemtiv) versus placebo on respiratory function and other measures of skeletal muscle function in patients with ALS.
NCT02496767
This study assessed the effect of tirasemtiv versus placebo on respiratory function in patients with ALS.
NCT02943850
The investigator is examining the safety of transplanting cells that have been engineered to produce a growth factor into the spinal cord of patients with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). The cells are called neural progenitor cells, which are a type of stem cell that can become several different types of cells in the nervous system. These cells have been derived to specifically become astrocytes, which is a type of neuronal cell. The growth factor is called glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor, or GDNF. GDNF is a protein that promotes the survival of many types of neuronal cells. Therefore, the cells are called "CNS10-NPC-GDNF." The investigational treatment has been tested in animals, but it has not yet been tested in people. In this study, we want to learn if CNS10-NPC-GDNF cells are safe to transplant into the spinal cords of people.
NCT02658916
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of multiple intravenous (IV) infusions of BIIB092 in participants with Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP). The study will also assess the pharmacodynamic (PD) effects of BIIB092 on cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) N-terminal tau, pharmacokinetics (PK), and immunogenicity of BIIB092 in participants with PSP.
NCT02574390
Creation of a large repository of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC), bio-fluid samples (blood and spinal fluid (optional)), and cell lines for ALS gene identification. This will be combined carefully with collected measures of the pattern of the symptoms people with ALS have and how these change over time. People with other motor neuron diseases and healthy controls will be included as comparisons
NCT02794857
This study evaluates NP001 in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and evidence of systemic inflammation. Half of participants will receive NP001 and the other half will receive placebo.
NCT01811355
The purpose of this study is to determine if mexiletine is effective for the treatment of muscle cramps in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS).
NCT02494024
This study will evaluate the safety and tolerability (maximum tolerated dose (MTD) within the specified dosing range) of single intravenous (IV) infusion of C2N-8E12 in patients with progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP).
NCT00021697
The purpose of this study is to compare and evaluate the safety of AVP-923 (dextromethorphan/quinidine) for the treatment of emotional lability in ALS patients.
NCT01521728
The first questions asked by patients with a new diagnosis of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) often include: "Does exercise help slow the progression of the disease?", "Is there any harm in exercising?", or "What type of exercise (endurance or resistance) is most appropriate?" At this time, however, there is a lack of answers for people who suffer from an illness that affects their strength above all else. Yet the beneficial effects of exercise in both healthy people as well as people with other diseases have been extensively studied and resulted in recommendations about the types of exercise that are beneficial. In this study the investigators will ask participants with ALS to exercise in one of three ways: weightlifting (resistance exercise), stationary bicycling (endurance exercise), and range of motion exercise (the current "standard of care" for ALS patients). The investigators will use several different types of tests to determine whether one type of exercise is tolerated better and is safer than another. The investigators will also collect information about how the body responds to exercise in ALS. This study will help in the development of a larger national study to understand how exercise can be combined with other treatments to potentially improve strength and alter the course of the disease.
NCT00401154
The study is about the effect of an exercise program using stationary bicycling for children with the spastic diplegic form of cerebral palsy. Spastic diplegia is a type of cerebral palsy that involves spasticity or "tightness" of the leg muscles. We hope to learn whether this type of exercise will allow the children to develop improved strength in the muscles that bend and straighten their knees, enhance their level of physical fitness, improve their ability to walk and improve their ability to perform other activities that are important to them. We hypothesize that children who participate in the stationary cycling intervention will gain strength in the muscles that bend and straighten their knees, will be able to complete a 600 yard walk run test (a test of endurance) more rapidly, and will improve their score on a test of function called the Gross Motor Function Measure (a test designed specifically for children with cerebral palsy).
NCT01468350
A double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover study in subjects with cerebral palsy (CP) to evaluate the safety and tolerability and the effect of dalfampridine extended release (ER) tablets on sensorimotor function
NCT01348061
This is an experimental medicine study to evaluate the kinetics of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers in subjects with Alzheimer's disease (AD) or progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) compared to healthy controls using a heavy water (2H2O) labeling method. This study is exploring the time profile of appearance and disappearance of pulse deuterium-labeled cargo proteins in CSF of subjects with AD and/or PSP, which is different from healthy controls, due to deficits in fast axonal transport.
NCT01603641
This study will evaluate the long-term safety of BOTOX® (botulinum toxin Type A) for the treatment of pediatric lower limb spasticity.
NCT01089010
The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate a pharmacodynamic effect of CK 2017357 on measures of skeletal muscle function or fatigability in patients with ALS.
NCT01835782
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety of L-Serine in subjects with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) at varied doses.
NCT02259140
This randomized controlled trial will compare proximal femoral resection-interposition arthroplasty to proximal femoral resection with subtrochanteric valgus osteotomy for the treatment of painful irreducible hip dislocation in patients with cerebral palsy. The primary outcome is quality of life and care giver burden measured by The Caregiver Priorities and Child Health Index of Life with Disabilities (CPCHILD) score at one year. Secondary outcomes will include pain (NCCPC-R, PROMIS pain intensity and PROMIS pain interference), function (mobility questions), complications and surgical parameters such as OR time and fluoroscopy time. A cost-effectiveness analysis will follow completion of the randomized controlled trial (RCT). The authors hypothesize that mean CPCHILD scores (measured at 1 year) will be significantly higher following the Subtrochanteric Valgus Osteotomy technique compared to Proximal Femoral Resection-Interposition Arthroplasty technique. Furthermore, the Proximal Femoral Resection-Interposition Arthroplasty technique will have a shorter length of hospital stay, shorter fluoroscopy and OR times and the Subtrochanteric Valgus Osteotomy will have longer sitting tolerance, less pain, smaller burden for caregivers, better health, and higher quality of life. Additionally the authors hypothesize that Subtrochanteric Valgus Osteotomy will be more expensive than Proximal Femoral Resection-Interposition Arthroplasty, due to the cost of the plate, longer operative time, longer length of stay, and blood loss, but Subtrochanteric Valgus Osteotomy will be preferred by patients due to less pain and better functional and quality of life outcomes.The results of this study are expected to improve outcomes for children with cerebral palsy with painful irreducible dislocated hips.
