Filter by:This phase 2 is a randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled, 12 weeks study with daily oral administration of AZ-3102 aiming to evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetic (PK) profile in GM2 Gangliosidosis and Niemann-Pick type C disease (NP-C) patients. If approved by the country health authorities, a double-blind extension period will be proposed to the patients who complete the 12-week study.
ScreenPlus is a consented, multi-disorder pilot newborn screening program implemented in conjunction with the New York State Newborn Screening Program that provides families the option to have their newborn(s) screened for a panel of additional conditions. The study has three primary objectives: 1) define the analytic and clinical validity of multi-tiered screening assays for a flexible panel of disorders, 2) determine disease incidence in an ethnically diverse population, and 3) assess the impact of early diagnosis on health outcomes. Over a five-year period, ScreenPlus aims to screen 175,000 infants born in nine high birthrate, ethnically diverse pilot hospitals in New York for a flexible panel of 14 rare genetic disorders. This study will also involve an evaluation of the Ethical, Legal and Social issues pertaining to NBS for complex disorders, which will be done via online surveys that will be directed towards ScreenPlus parents who opt to participate and qualitative interviews with families of infants who are identified through ScreenPlus.
The study aims to characterize prospectively longitudinal progression of neurological domains in GM1 and GM2 Gangliosidosis patients with high-quality standards (GCP compliant).
GM2 gangliosidoses are a group of autosomal recessive neurodegenerative diseases characterized by a deficiency of the Hex A enzyme to catabolize GM2, thereby causing GM2 accumulation within cellular lysosomes.Hex A is composed of 2 subunits, α- and β-, coded by the HEXA and HEXB genes, respectively. The primary purpose of the current study is to assess the safety and tolerability of TSHA101 administered via IT injection.
PBGM01 is a gene therapy for GM1 gangliosidosis intended to deliver a functional copy of the GLB1 gene to the brain and peripheral tissues. This study will assess in a 2 part design the safety, tolerability and efficacy of PBGM01 in patients with early onset infantile (Type 1) and late onset infantile (Type 2a) GM1 gangliosidosis
The clinical project "Eight At One Stroke: Attention Gangliosidoses" represents a clinical registry for recording the clinical manifestation and the disease progression of gangliosidoses. The intention of this project is to better understand the manifestation and progression of gangliosidoses and to raise awareness of these disorders in the public health service. The patients or their families, respectively, will be integrated in the study in order to measure Patient Outcome and to objectify the psychosocial burden for the patient and his family. The study has a retrospective and a prospective part. It is planned to transfer the data of the study into a continuous registry.
This study is being conducted to better understand the natural course of GM1 gangliosidosis, GM2 gangliosidoses and Gaucher disease Type 2 (GD2). Information is planned to be gathered on at least 180 patients with GM1 gangliosidosis, GM2 gangliosidoses, and Gaucher Disease type 2. Retrospective data collection is planned for at least 150 deceased patients (Group A). Group B is for patients alive at the time of enrollment. In Group B it is planned to prospectively collect more comprehensive data from at least 30 patients. The purpose of this study is to collect relevant information for a adequate design of a potential subsequent research program in these diseases. In this study no therapy is being offered.
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of GM1 for preventing cognitive impairment related to whole brain radiotherapy in breast cancer patients with brain metastases. And explore the clinical and molecular parameter for predicting severe cognitive impairment induced by WBRT and gaining benefit from GM1. Primary Endpoint: the change of Hopkins Verbal and Learning Test-Revised Delayed Recall,HVLT-R DR,before and after WBRT Secondary ENDPOINT: the change of Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale-Cognitive，ADAS-Cog before and after WBRT;severe cognitive impairment percentage and onset time; Design:204 patients will be randomly assigned to exp.group,102 cases,and 102 cases of control group.
Mucopolysaccharidosis type IVB (Morquio-B disease, MBD) is an autosomal-recessive lysosomal disease caused by mutations in a gene called GLB1. Clinically, Morquio B presents with progressive skeletal deformities involving mostly long bones and spine. While the information on GLB1 mutations associated with MBD is limited, there is a significant overlap in clinical presentation between Morquio B and late-onset GM1 gangliosidosis with both conditions being caused by mutations in the same GLB1 gene. In this study, the investigators plan to collect retrospective data from patients' medical charts, as well as, information from the prospective follow up clinic visits. There will be two study visits with the interval of one year. The study procedures will include a detailed physical exam, bone scans, heart and lung function, physical endurance tests, hearing test, laboratory tests and quality of life surveys. The purpose of this study is to collect data on the natural history of Morquio B and to create a biobank of laboratory samples (blood, urine and skin cells) for future research. This information will improve the understanding of the natural progression of Morquio B disease.
GM1 gangliosidosis is a rare disease for which there is a limited understanding of disease progression and meaningful outcome measures. In addition, parents report that clinic-based assessments are not always well-suited to capture all the disease features and other metrics that have an impact on the patient and family. To address the methodological challenges of this small, heterogeneous population, this study will collect patient-specific home-based video data and qualitative interviews with caregivers.
