Filter by:The purpose of this study is to investigate if a person with weakness or paralysis in one or both arms, can use the NuroSleeve combined powered arm brace (orthosis) and muscle stimulation system to help restore movement in one arm sufficient to perform daily activities. This study could lead to the development of a product that could allow people with arm weakness or arm paralysis to use the NuroSleeve and similar devices to improve arm health and independent function.
Barriers to keeping and maintaining fitness as a young person with a disability exist across many domains of access to community locations such as fitness centers, so looking outside of these establishments may be necessary to advance fitness. This study is aimed at piloting a program that would address some of these barriers by hosting a modified after school running program with an underserved population in an accessible way. There is a second option to participate outside of school.
To date, there are highly effective lipid-lowering drugs, the combination of which makes it possible to achieve the target level of LDL-C in most patients with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH). However, the effectiveness of treatment of FH patients strongly depends on adherence to lipid-lowering therapy and to the healthy lifestyle, as well as the detection of the disease and the therapy prescription as early as possible, better in childhood. The aim of the study is to assess the impact of genetic testing and motivational counseling on the effectiveness of treatment and cascade screening in patients with FH.
The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and effectiveness of encaleret in participants with Autosomal Dominant Hypocalcemia Type 1 (ADH1).
This is an exploratory, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group, multicenter, proof of concept study (Phase 2a), evaluating orally administered GLPG2737 for a double-blind (DB) treatment period of 52 weeks and 4 weeks of follow up as well as an open-label extension (OLE) treatment period of 52 weeks and 4 weeks of follow-up, in subjects with rapidly progressing ADPKD.
Primary Objective • To assess the dose response relationship between RGLS4326 and ADPKD biomarkers Secondary Objectives - To characterize the pharmacokinetic (PK) properties of RGLS4326 in plasma and urine - To assess the safety and tolerability of RGLS4326
The proposed research will determine the feasibility of a time restricted feeding intervention,a fasting regimen that restricts eating to a feeding window (8 hrs/day) for 1 year in adults with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) who are overweight or obese. The study will provide valuable information on the intervention in terms of safety, adherence, acceptability, and tolerability. Last, this pilot trial will provide initial insight into biological changes including abdominal adiposity, changes in kidney growth and function, and markers of biological pathways related to the intervention.
The purpose of this study is to characterize oxidative stress and the Nrf2 antioxidant response in early stages of Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD), while identifying candidate biomarkers.
This study evaluates the effect of regulating salt and protein intake on urinevolume in patients with ADPKD treated with a vasopressine V2 receptor antagonist (V2RA). The investigators hypothesize that changing sodium and protein intake will reduce V2RA-induced polyuria.
This is an one-year open-label study to determine treatment efficacy and feasibility of a trial that uses open-label interventions in ADPKD patients.
