NCT07545473
Hyperspectral retinal imaging is a non-invasive imaging modality in which a series of images of the retina are captured using light of different wavelengths. The resulting "hypercube" of data provides a wealth of information about the retinal structure. Our group has developed evidence supporting a role for this technology in the detection of retinal amyloid beta in Alzheimer's disease. We are undertaking further studies to establish the role of this method in the assessment of people with dementia, or those at risk of Alzheimer's disease. In addition, we wish to test whether the approach may have value in other forms of dementia or neurodegenerative disease such as Parkinson's disease, Lewy-Body dementia or vascular dementia.

NCT05641103
The study of splenomegaly, and the follow-up of splenectomized patients, is one of the causes of referral of these patients to pediatric gastroenterology and oncohematology clinics, and adult internal medicine and hematology. It has been described that 0.3% of hospital admissions is for this reason. The study and management of splenomegaly is well described among the different medical specialties to which these patients arrive. After the application of the different algorithms and the different studies that are carried out, these splenomegaly are identified as being of hepatic, infectious, inflammatory, congestive, hematological origin and primary causes. Despite these studies of splenomegaly, approximately 10-15% of these patients still remain undiagnosed. The objective of the present study is to increase the diagnostic sensitivity of these unknown splenomegalys, or unknown splenomegaly patients who remain in consultations, using the usual diagnostic clinical procedures of unknown splenomegaly and unknown splenectomy patients, where the investigators include the extraction of a blood sample for dry drop test (DBS), where the determination of the enzymatic/genetic activity will be carried out for Gaucher disease (GD) and acid sphingomyelinase deficiency (ASMD) , analysis of LisoGl1 and LisoSM.
NCT03333200
The purpose of this study is to understand the course of rare genetic disorders that affect the brain. This data is being analyzed to gain a better understanding of the progression of the rare neurodegenerative disorders and the effects of interventions.
NCT06192576
US, multicenter, cohort, open label observational study with primary data collection. Ancillary protocol-specified procedures to address the study objectives (eg, assessment of ADA) may be considered outside the standard of care for acid sphingomyelinase deficiency (ASMD), but the study methodology remains non-interventional, as the additional collection of data from participants will not dictate treatment. The total overall study duration will be 5 years. The follow-up period will be a minimum of 1 year to a maximum of 3 years. The enrollment period will be up to 4 years, to allow a minimum of 1 year of follow-up for the last participant enrolled.
NCT07044908
This is a multicenter, open Phase Ib/II clinical study evaluating the safety and efficacy of TQB2922 in combination with TAS-102±bevacizumab in subjects with RAS/BRAF wild-type unresectable locally advanced or metastatic colorectal cancer that has failed treatment with oxaliplatin, fluorouracil-based and irinotecan.
NCT03980340
Insufficient sleep has both health and safety risks, but currently there are no quick, accurate and inexpensive ways to measure sleep deficiency. The current study aims to use a cutting-edge technology, small molecule analysis (e.g. metabolomics), to detect compounds in breath that reliably change with sleep-wake state and those whose levels vary by time of day.
NCT00517153
This is a phase II randomized controlled study of miglustat in adult and juvenile patients with Niemann-Pick Type C disease. Up to 42 patients will be randomised in a 2:1 ratio to either treatment with miglustat or to a non-treatment group. Both groups will follow an identical visit schedule.
NCT03263429
This phase I/II trial studies the best dose and side effects of glutaminase inhibitor CB-839 and how well it works with panitumumab and irinotecan hydrochloride (phase I only) in treating patients with RAS wildtype colorectal cancer that has spread to other places in the body and does not respond to treatment. Glutaminase inhibitor CB-839 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Monoclonal antibodies, such as panitumumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as irinotecan hydrochloride, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving glutaminase inhibitor CB-839 with panitumumab and irinotecan hydrochloride may work better in treating patients with colorectal cancer.
NCT03879655
This is a multicenter, multinational, open-label study of VTS-270 to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of VTS-270 (2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin) in participants transitioning from Study VTS301 (Parts A/B \[NCT02534844\] and Part C \[NCT04958642\]) with neurologic manifestations of Niemann-Pick Type C1 (NPC1) disease.
NCT04958642
Due to different study designs, the sponsor separated Part C into this separate registration (NCT04958642), leaving Parts A/B in NCT02534844. The trial's final results for the primary outcome measure of Adverse Events (AE) will be reported here. This study is to evaluate how safe and effective adrabetadex is for participants with Niemann-Pick Type C1 (NPC1) disease who experience neurologic symptoms (listed under Keywords). In Parts A/B (NCT02534844), two out of every 3 participants will receive the study drug. The third participant will receive 1 to 2 small needle pricks at the location where the IT injection is normally made (sham control). In Part C, all participants will receive study drug.

NCT01306604
Development of a new MS-based biomarker for the early and sensitive diagnosis of Niemann Pick Type C disease from Blood (plasma)
NCT03887533
Background: For people who have Niemann-Pick disease, type C1 (NPC1), cholesterol and other fats have trouble moving out of liver and other tissue cells. This makes the cells sick. Researchers want to find out if a drug called VTS-270 can help. Objective: To test if VTS-270 is safe and effective in treating chronic liver disease associated with NPC1. Eligibility: People ages 3-60 with NPC1 Design: Participants may be screened by phone or under another protocol. Participants will have visits once a month for 12 months. If they have intrathecal injections, the study may last 15 months or more. The first visit will last about 5 days. Others will last 2-3 days. Participants will get VTS-270 injected into a vein at each visit. They can also choose to have intrathecal injections. These are like spinal taps. Some visits will also include: Physical exam Urine tests Blood tests. A small tube or needle will be inserted into the participants vein to collect blood. The small tube will also be used to give the VTS-270. Hearing tests: For one test, participants will have electrodes taped to their head. These will record brain waves. Breathing tests Ultrasound of abdomen: Sounds waves will take pictures of the participant s body. Chest x-ray: This is a picture of the lungs.

NCT04189601
The lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs) are monogenic disorders associated with inflammation affecting multiple organs, and early death. Few treatments are available that can modify the disease course, and there is an urgent need to identify new steps in pathogenesis that can be targeted therapeutically. The complement system is novel and highly plausible as a primary driver of inflammation and cellular injury in the LSDs. This study assesses the complement activation state in patients with Fabry disease (FD), Gaucher disease (GD) and Niemann-Pick disease, type C (NPC), with comparison to healthy controls. This has the potential for immense clinical benefit through targeted complement inhibition across the full spectrum of lysosomal storage disorders, in which key pathophysiological processes including the inflammatory response to lysosomally 'stored' materials are shared.
NCT02939547
This research study is being conducted to find out whether Trappsol® Cyclo™, an experimental treatment for people with Niemann Pick disease Type C (NPC-1) is safe at 2 different dose levels and what effects it has on people who have this condition. NPC-1 is caused by a defect in the protein which is important for the transport of fatty substances like cholesterol out of cells. Without this protein, fats build up in the cells ultimately leading to organ damage. The way in which this experimental treatment works is not fully understood but laboratory experiments have shown that it can potentially remove cholesterol build up from the cells in people who have NPC-1. Approximately 12 patients will be asked to take part in this research study for up to 20 weeks (w) in total (including screening. treatment and follow-up). Recruitment is expected to take 6- 9 months.Patients who take part will receive treatment by an intravenous infusion every two weeks. The study will look at what the body does to the drug as well as what the drug does to the body by taking and examining blood and urine samples. A sample(s) of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) will be taken by lumbar puncture during the first treatment dose and may be collected during subsequent doses. Liver and skin biopsy specimens will be taken to assess filipin staining. Cholesterol metabolism will be investigated in liver samples and splenic and hepatic elasticity will be assessed by ultrasound. Patients will also have their hearing tested, be asked questions by their doctor as well completing questionnaires to help assess any changes in their condition during treatment.This study is being sponsored and funded by CTD holdings Inc. It is planned to be run in the USA,.
