NCT06581861
The ALL ALS Clinical Research Consortium is establishing research to collect a wide range of samples, clinical information and measurements from Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) symptomatic, ALS gene carriers and control cohorts. This consortium is begin funded by the National Institutes of Health/National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NIH/NINDS) and managed by two clinical coordinating centers (CCC) at Barrow Neurological Institute and Massachusetts General Hospital. The clinical sites are distributed across the country, and led by a group of collaborative principal investigators. Once data and samples are collected and harmonized, it will be made available to research community for future research into ALS and related neurological diseases. PREVENT protocol is specific for asymptomatic participants who are genetically at risk for ALS. The participants will be followed for up to 36 months (3 years), and will include 4 in-person on-site visits once a year and 6 off-site(remote) visits once in 4 months. The study includes collection of medical history, clinical outcomes, and blood samples once in 4 months. Additionally, the participants will complete patient reported outcomes and speech recordings once in 4 months. Participants may also provide optional Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) samples.The participants may also opt into a sub-study if they are interested in genetic testing for ALS causative genes. The sub-study will involve a minimum of 3 visits over a course of 2-3 months. This will include a screening/pre-test genetic counseling visit, a return of genetic results and a post-test counseling visit.

The ALSpire Study is a clinical trial evaluating the investigational drug BIIB105 in adults living with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The ALSpire Study consists of two parts: * Part 1: 6-month placebo-controlled study. During Part 1, participants are randomly assigned to receive either BIIB105 or placebo in a 3:1 or 2:1 ratio (depending on the participant's assigned Cohort). * Part 2: up to 3-year long-term open-label extension. During Part 2, all participants receive BIIB105. The objectives of the study are to evaluate: * The safety and tolerability of BIIB105 in people with ALS * What the body does to BIIB105 (also called "pharmacokinetics") * What BIIB105 does to the body (also called "pharmacodynamics") * Whether BIIB105 can slow the worsening of clinical function
NCT03070119

This is a Phase 1, open-label, multi-center safety study of XT-150 in adult participants with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). Participants providing informed consent and meeting all study eligibility criteria will be enrolled in the study and will receive a single injection of XT-150 at the Baseline visit. Follow-up visits will occur over 180 days (6 months) after the injection. 8 participants (4 participants per dose level) will be enrolled sequentially in up to 2 ascending, single dose cohorts: Cohort 1: 1.5 mg XT-150 Cohort 2: 4.5 mg XT-150
NCT05276349
The purpose of this study is to study use of advance Digital Health Technologies (DHT) and its validity as measures for assessing progression in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) patients. A total of 80 ALS patients will be recruited across US, and will involve two sites - St. Joseph Hospital and Medical Center in Phoenix, AZ, and Emory University ALS Clinic in Atlanta. This will be a fully remote observational study and will employ remote data collection platforms such as (a) A digital spirometry device powered by a mobile app will be used to measure vital capacity; (b) A clinical-grade voice recording app will be used to evaluate speech function; (c) A medical-grade wearable sensor will be used to monitor activity levels and sleep patterns; and (d) Standardized Electronic Clinical Outcome Assessments (eCOA) and Patient Reported Outcomes (ePRO) will be used to evaluate quality of life and cognitive abilities. The main goals of this study is to answer some of these questions: 1. Can ALS patients measure important aspects of disease progression at home, either by themselves with appropriate training or with assistance of a coordinators via virtual visit? 2. Which clinical outcome measures collected through DHT are sensitive indicators of ALS progression? 3. Are the measures reproducible and whether they can correlate with gold standard assessments? The results of this study have the potential to provide valuable information for designing future ALS trials that are more decentralized, more patient-centric, and require less visits to the clinic which typically become a major burden with disease progression

NCT04998305

NCT03047369
The Myelin Disorders Biorepository Project (MDBP) seeks to collect and analyze clinical data and biological samples from leukodystrophy patients worldwide to support ongoing and future research projects. The MDBP is one of the world's largest leukodystrophy biorepositories, having enrolled nearly 2,000 affected individuals since it was launched over a decade ago. Researchers working in the biorepository hope to use these materials to uncover new genetic etiologies for various leukodystrophies, develop biomarkers for use in future clinical trials, and better understand the natural history of these disorders. The knowledge gained from these efforts may help improve the diagnostic tools and treatment options available to patients in the future.
NCT00680264

Usnoflast Neuromuscular Investigation for Treatment Efficacy in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
NCT05104710
The specific aims of this study are to: 1. Determine if a painless and quick measurement of muscle activity using surface electrodes can help with the diagnosis of ALS. Specifically, we ask if a measure of intermuscular coherence (IMC-βγ), when added to current diagnostic criteria (Awaji criteria), can differentiate ALS from mimic diseases more accurately and earlier than currently possible. 2. Characterize IMC-βγ in neurotypical subjects by age, sex, race, and ethnicity. 3. Follow a cohort of ALS patients longitudinally to determine if IMC-βγ changes with ALS disease progression and whether such changes correlate with functional and clinical scores, or survival.
NCT03489278

NCT06189781
Pain management in pediatric patients presents a difficult challenge. Unlike adults, pediatric patients often cannot communicate their pain management needs clearly. This is especially true in patients with cerebral palsy (CP), who often have concomitant developmental delay, intellectual disability and verbal limitations. Current literature indicates pain as a common experience for children with CP but has been understudied in this population. Moreover, inadequate post-operative pain control can result in negative physiologic and psychological complications and lead to poor surgical outcomes. Currently, perioperative pain management following orthopaedic procedures in pediatric patients follows traditional protocols that rely on the administration of opioid medications despite their known adverse side effects including nausea, vomiting, itching, constipation, urinary retention, confusion, and respiratory depression. Epidural anesthesia is a key modality in traditional pain management for pediatric patients with CP given its proven efficacy in decreasing pain and managing spasticity. Yet, administering epidural anesthesia in this patient population poses several risks including damage to preexisting intrathecal baclofen pumps, iatrogenic infection, and technically demanding insertion given high rates of concomitant neuromuscular scoliosis. Alternatively, multimodal analgesic injections theoretically offer an efficacious adjunct to traditional pain management protocols with a lower risk profile. Preliminary data from our study group's pilot randomized control trial comparing the safety and efficacy of a multimodal surgical site injection to placebo showed decreased pain scores and narcotic consumption postoperatively in this patient population. Based on these promising results, the objective of this randomized control trial is to evaluate the efficacy of a multimodal surgical site injection compared to epidural anesthesia for postoperative pain control following operative management of hip dysplasia in pediatric patients with CP.
