Filter by:This is a Phase 3, open-label, single-arm, single-dose, trial of onasemnogene abeparvovec-xioi (gene replacement therapy) in participants with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) Type 1 and who are genetically defined by a biallelic pathogenic mutation of the survival motor neuron 1 gene (SMN1) with one or two copies of survival motor neuron 2 gene (SMN2). The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of onasemnogene abeparvovec-xioi by assessing the proportion of symptomatic SMA Type 1 participants who achieve the ability to sit unaided for at least 10 seconds up to and including the 18 months of age trial visit. At least 6 participants aged < 6 months (< 180 days) at the time of gene replacement therapy (Day 1) will be enrolled.
Breast Cancer treatment may cause several side effects, some long lasting. Adjuvant hormone therapy helps avoiding recurrence triggers vulvovaginal atrophy syndrome. This study evaluate a photodynamic treatment with light emitting diode to improve vaginal dryness and irritation, pruritus, pain or discomfort in intercourse.
This study evaluates a new combined technique using two different laser wavelengths and Platelets Rich Plasma (PRP) to treat post-atrophic acne scars. Within the available knowledge of laser-tissue interactions and effects of PRP on wound healing, we will explore the clinical effects of our new combination procedure on a histopathological and immunohistochemical basis for guiding future post acne scars clinical research.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the measurement properties of the Ability Captured Through Interactive Video Evaluation-mini (ACTIVE-mini) for quantifying movement in infants with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA). Specifically, I will investigate within-day and between-day test-retest reliability and calculate the minimal detectable change of the ACTIVE-mini. Additionally, I will determine the concurrent validity of the ACTIVE-mini with The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia Infant Test for Neuromuscular Disease (CHOP INTEND) and the construct validity of the ACTIVE-mini in infants with SMA using a known group methodology.
The effect of different protein intakes on skeletal muscle atrophy during short term unilateral leg immobilisation.
Mandibular ridge splitting with complete separation of the buccal cortical plate versus Khoury shell technique for horizontal augmentation of atrophic posterior mandible
A two-period, two-treatment, crossover study to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of amifampridine phosphate in ambulatory patients diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) Type 3.
Safety Assessment of APL-2 in Patients with Geographic Atrophy
The study is designed to determine the effect on vaginal pH and the duration of action measured on the ability of the base formulation to reduce the vaginal pH
Ageing is associated with a gradual decline in muscle mass that is detrimental to both physical function and metabolic health, increasing the risk of morbidity and mortality. The loss of protein muscle mass with ageing is poorly understood, but it may partly relate to inactivity/disuse (i.e. during injury or hospitalization). Periods of inactivity/disuse blunt the ability of muscle to grow (termed anabolic blunting), leading to a loss of muscle mass and strength. An accumulation of these periods over a lifetime promotes the devastating loss of muscle protein mass and strength seen with ageing. Disuse-induced muscle loss is underpinned by a blunted muscle anabolic response to protein nutrition. Supplementing the diet with the amino acid leucine may offer a potential solution to alleviate muscle mass and strength loss during disuse. In fact, leucine is suggested to promote muscle protein growth and reduce muscle protein loss during disuse in rats, but this is yet to be shown in humans. Accordingly, the proposed study will investigate whether leucine supplementation can offset muscle and strength loss during short-term disuse. Twenty-four healthy (non-obese, non-diabetic, non-smokers) men aged 18-35 years will initially complete a lower-limb strength assessment and undergo a body composition scan three days later. The following morning, participants will be randomly assigned to ingest either 5g of leucine (n=12) or a caloric-matched placebo (n=12) with each meal over a 7 d period of a single-leg immobilisation. Immediately following immobilisation participants will undergo another body composition scan. Additionally, a stable isotope infusion will be combined with serial muscle biopsies from the thigh of each leg to determine the measure rates of muscle protein synthesis in the fasted state and in the 'early' and 'late' phase of feeding. A day later, the assessment of muscle strength will be repeated.
