Filter by:The aim is to determine whether vestibular deficits are present in OI, then to establish whether a correlation exists between genetic type, severity of OI and audiovestibular phenotype. OI patients aged 12 to 20 years will undergo an audiometric, immittance, and vestibular assessment. When hearing loss is conductive or mixed or in cases where vestibular deficits are identified, a CT scan without injection will be performed. In case of sensorineural hearing loss or abnormal CT results, an MRI will be performed.
The aim of this study is to assess the effective of intraoperative use of tranexamic acid in reducing blood loss during telescoping nail application in cases of osteogenesis imperfecta.
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a group of congenital and heritable bone disorders that currently affects at least 50,000 people in the United States. OI varies in severity from perinatally lethal to mild forms. The majority of cases is caused by a dominant mutation in type I collagen genes (COL1α1 and COL1α2), altering the quantity or quality of type I collagen. Although OI is typically characterized as a disease of the bone, it is perhaps more accurately described as a connective tissue disorder. Type I collagen is a major constituent of lung connective tissue. Respiratory insufficiency is the leading cause of death in patients with OI. Thus, it is important and necessary to understand the etiology of the restrictive pulmonary physiology in the OI population.
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate bone mineral density (BMD) after 12 months of retreatment with monthly setrusumab in adults with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI).
This study is mainly targeted affected teeth which could not be retained, and patients are willing to undergo implant repair at the later stage. After teeth extraction, Geistlich Bio-Oss ® Particles or Bio-Oss ® Collagen are immediately implanted in the teeth extraction socket and covered with Bio-Gide ® collagen membrane for site preservation.Through postoperative follow-up, postoperative clinical and imaging objective indicators, combined with the subjective evaluation of surgeons and patients, and compared with conventional extraction treatment method, the study is aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of different site preservation of alveolar crest preservation, in order to reduce the alveolar bone width and height loss, effectively reduce alveolar bone absorption, or even achieve bone incrementation, thus to get the ideal site preservation effect, to improve the oral implant success rate, improve implant aesthetic score and patient satisfaction, provide more clinical standard reference of the clinical application of site preservation.
SAR439459 is a human anti-Transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) monoclonal antibody. This phase 1 clinical study investigates the safety, tolerability, and activity of a single dose of SAR439459 in adult participants with OI. Participants will receive a single IV dose of SAR439459 with safety, pharmacokinetic (PK), and pharmacodynamic (PD) assessments over 24 weeks. There will be up to 3 dose cohorts. In addition to safety, tolerability, and PK assessments, bone mineral density (BMD) will be evaluated by dual-energy Xray absorptimetry (DXA) scan and a series of blood biomarkers will be monitored to document pharmacodynamic effects of the single dose of SAR439459.
The primary objectives of the study are to identify a setrusumab dosing strategy in participants with OI and to evaluate the effect of setrusumab vs placebo on reduction in fracture rate.
In the COVID-19 outbreak context, people living with rare diseases have been highly troubled with anxiety, loneliness, and depression. The project evaluates resilience and coping strategies to address pandemic impact by discussion in a dedicated focus group using a web-based platform. The goal is to improve, in a sustainable manner, the coping skills and psychological well-being of children, adolescents, and young adults affected by rare skeletal diseases.
Misalignment of teeth and jaws (also called malocclusion) is a common life altering problem facing many individuals with Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI). The presence of Dentinogenesis Imperfecta in teeth of OI individuals makes the use of conventional orthodontics in the form of braces very challenging. Clear aligners are newer form of orthodontic treatment and is less invasive than braces. Therefore, the aim of our study is to evaluate the efficiency and safety of using Invisalign clear aligners for orthodontic treatment in individuals with Osteogenesis Imperfecta. We seek individual with Osteogenesis Imperfecta, with mild to moderate malocclusion and no prior history of orthodontic treatment. This study will be held at three sites - McGill University, University of California Los Angeles and National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial research. This study will for the first time, help define guidelines for safe and efficient orthodontic treatment using clear aligners in individuals with Osteogenesis Imperfecta. If successful, this approach can rapidly be implemented into clinical practice, as the Invisalign system is readily available to orthodontists.
Assess the postoperative functional outcomes after surgical correction of skeletal deformities of lower limbs in osteogenesis imperfecta patients as regard ambulation status, postoperative complications and reoperation rate.
