The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the digital stabilizing splint in management of masticatory muscle disorder. The main question it aims to answer are: • is the digital stabilizing splint effective in treatment of masticatory muscle disorder signs and symptoms after 3 months follow up ? Participants will be asked to ware the splint and progressively increasing the duration of splint wear, starting from 8 hours per day for 3 months .
SELENON-related myopathy (SELENON-RM) and LAMA2-related muscular dystrophy (LAMA2-MD) are congenital neuromuscular disorders presenting with slowly, progressive axial muscle weakness, spinal rigidity, scoliosis and respiratory insufficiency. Currently, no curative treatment options exist, yet promising preclinical trials are ongoing. Clinical trials are expected to start within 5 years. Natural history data and outcome measures for measuring therapy effectiveness were lacking. Therefore, the LAST STRONG Study (a 1.5-year natural history study) started in 2020. With the extended LAST STRONG Study, we aim to further analyze and expand the 1.5-year natural history data on SELENON-RM or LAMA2-MD to provide a detailed clinical description of the Dutch and Flemish cohort. This will enable a smooth transition towards implementation into clinical care and clinical trials. The extended LAST STRONG Study is a prospective, observational natural history study in Dutch-speaking patients of all ages diagnosed with SELENON-RM and LAMA2-MD. Patients will be invited to visit our hospital two times (3- and 5-years) after the first visit in the LAST STRONG Study. During both visits, patients will undergo a subset of tests (neurological examination, functional measurements, questionnaires, muscle ultrasound, MRI, pulmonary assessment and accelerometry). All measurements are adapted to the patient's age and functional disabilities.
Primary Mitochondrial diseases are a clinically and genetically heterogeneous group of disorders caused by mutations in genes encoded by nuclear Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) or by mutations and/or deletions in the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). While some mitochondrial disorders only affect a single organ (e.g., the eye in Leber hereditary optic neuropathy [LHON]), many involve multiple organs. Mitochondrial disorders may present at any age and a frequent feature is the increasing number of organs involved in the course of the disease. Minovia Therapeutics Ltd. ("Minovia") is a biotech company developing novel therapeutics based on its mitochondrial augmentation technology (MAT). MNV-201 is a cell therapy produced by MAT that consists of the participant's autologous CD34+ hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) enriched with allogeneic placental-derived mitochondria, manufactured in Minovia's GMP facility.
Adult patients with suspected or confirmed idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM) will be recruited. Patients will be approached, consented, have baseline demographics, diagnostics and disease activity measures recorded, and blood taken. The collection of data and biological material will mirror usual clinical practice as far as possible. Subjects will ideally attend further visits at 3, 6 and 12 months to have bloods taken, outcome measures recorded and questionnaires completed.In addition, blood, muscle biopsies and imaging undertaken as part of usual care will also be collected for research purposes to measure a number of biomarkers for the assessment of diagnostic accuracy and clinical utility evaluation. As per usual practice, a muscle biopsy will be performed at baseline, and a further biopsy offered at 6 months to assess treatment response. A magnetic resonance (MR) muscle protocol will also be performed as per usual clinical practice, and a gadolinium-enhanced MR heart scan offered. Both these scans will be repeated at 6-12 months. An existing electronic database entry system will be used for data entry and capture on an anonymised basis.
The purpose of this study is to measure the long-term safety and tolerability of efgartigimod PH20 SC in adult participants with IIM who previously participated in ARGX-113-2007. Secondary objectives include efficacy measures of efgartigimod PH20 SC in participants with IIM.
This study aimed to evaluate the sustainability of the efficacy of using low level laser therapy and CAD/CAM Michigan splint in improving the range of mandibular movements, muscle activity and reducing the pain.
The purpose of this study is to establish the tolerability, preliminary efficacy, and pharmacokinetics of CC-97540 in participants with severe, refractory autoimmune diseases.
The purpose of this research study is to test the feasibility and response of a new exercise protocol on improving physical activity in adolescents with cerebral palsy.
This is a Phase 2 Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study to Evaluate the Efficacy, Safety, and Pharmacokinetics of Froniglutide in Patients With Idiopathic Inflammatory Myopathy ("FROniGlutide Study")
