Filter by:To evaluate for any adverse effects that may be related to the administration and reception of autologous adipose derived stromal vascular fraction (SVF). Secondarily, the study monitors the results of subjective and objective findings as it applies to the non-blinded deployment of autologous SVF for various inflammatory and/or degenerative conditions including select orthopedic, neurologic, urologic and cardio-pulmonary conditions. SVF deployments include intra-venous, intra-articular, and soft tissue injections.
This project is based on a three-year program that aims to improve the knowledge of the socioeconomic consequences of dementia in Norway. By including patients with and without dementia in four different cohorts (from nursing homes, from memory clinics, home-dwelling persons with dementia and elderly persons without dementia), the project's aim is to describe the course of dementia, the economical cost of dementia and to look into possible risk factors for dementia.
The main objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of 3 months of "Snoezelen-type" multi-sensory care sessions on NeuroPsychiatric Inventory Questionnaire (NPI-Q) scores for patients with Alzheimer's-type neurodegenerative disease.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of HLA-haplo matched Allogenic Bone Marrow Derived stem cells("HYNR-CS-Allo inj"), through intrathecal delivery for the treatment in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis(ALS). This study is an open label, dose up and down study using the 3+3 design to assess the safety of HLA-haplo matched Allogenic Bone Marrow Derived stem cells("HYNR-CS-Allo inj")
This study is intended to obtain clinical information and establish a repository of DNA, RNA, peripheral blood monocyte, lymphocyte and skin tissue samples from people with ALS and related neurodegenerative motor neuron diseases, people with a family history of these conditions, and healthy people with no family history of these disorders. The samples will be used in future research to learn about how these disorders affect people, what causes these conditions, and how the investigators can tell when someone has this kind of disease. Future research may also include the generation of stem cells from stored blood cell and skin cell samples. Participants will not be paid for taking part in this study.
The purpose of the study is to determine the long-term safety and exploratory efficacy of NEUROSTEM®-AD, administered via an open brain surgery to subjects with dementia of the Alzheimer's type, who were eligible for and enrolled in the earlier part of the phase I. Aside from the subjects who completed the earlier part of the Phase I, 3 additional subjects with comparable demographics and disease characteristics as the treatment group will be enrolled into a control group, followed-up for 3 months, and compared for various disease progression indicators with the treatment group. The hypothesis is that NEUROSTEM®-AD is safe and effective in the treatment of dementia of the Alzheimer's type.
This is a double-blind, placebo-controlled, Phase IV trial , comparing HMS 90® versus placebo (soy protein) as add-on (adjuvant) therapy in subjects with idiopathic Parkinson's Disease. The principal objective is to evaluate the changes in biomarkers of oxidative stress and,plasma amino acids, as well as improvement of clinical symptoms and brain function
To establish if there are venous obstructions in patients with neurodegenerative disorders
The purpose of the interventional study is to determine whether Nicotinamide is effective at upregulating the Frataxin (FXN) gene in patients with Friedreich's ataxia (FRDA) where this gene is abnormally 'switched off'. The purpose of the non-interventional study is to investigate the use of novel, highly-sensitive technology to capture clinical deficit and measure subtle changes in the activities of daily living and to correlate functional changes to levels of expression of Frataxin protein and the epigenetic structure of the Frataxin gene over a 9-12 month period without nicotinamide. Healthy volunteers will be included as comparators in this part of the study.
This study will investigate the performance of physician readers trained to read florbetapir-PET scans using electronic media training.
