Filter by:The purpose of this study is to explore the safety and efficacy data in clinic patients who have been treated with Natalizumab for more than 60 continuous infusions.
To explain the key brain network nodes and their brain mechanisms of ALS language cognitive impairment and decline, reveal the neural mechanism of the association between ALS language cognitive impairment and motor executive function, and provide potential early diagnostic markers and targeted therapeutic targets for ALS language cognitive impairment.
This is a validation study of a conscientiousness-based phone app intervention strategy to help people with their health management and employment.
ABBV-CLS-7262 is an investigational drug being researched for the treatment of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. This is an up to 156-week, 2-part study. Part 1 will be a 4-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study; Part 2 will be up to a 152-week active treatment extension (ATE) during which all subjects will receive ABBV-CLS-7262.
This study is an uncontrolled, central registration system, open-label, multicenter observational study in patients using Kesimpta for the labeled indication.
The main aim is to study in the real world setting the effectiveness of Cladribine tablets in terms of Annualized Relapse Rate (ARR) and disability progression, in participants who switched from a first line Disease Modifying Drug (DMD) (Interferons, Glatiramer Acetate, Teriflunomide, (Dymethyl fumarate) [DMF]) to treatment with Cladribine tablets in routine clinical practice.
Systemic sclerosis or scleroderma is an autoimmune condition that cause thickening and hardening of the skin, but can also affect internal organs. There are two major subsets of scleroderma: the limited cutaneous systemic sclerosis (lcSSc) that usually affects the skin of the face, neck, lower legs or lower arms, but can also lead to internal organ complications, and the diffuse cutaneous systemic sclerosis (dcSSc) that may affect blood circulation and internal organs, as well as the skin. To date there is no drug that has been definitively proven to cure or modify the course of scleroderma. However, there is emerging evidence that immunosuppression and specifically mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) may be beneficial in lcSSc. The MINIMISE-Pilot trial would be an important first step to evaluate the risk and potential benefit to this disease group. MMF as the intervention of choice is both appropriate and timely, as it has been routinely used in the management of dcSSc. The aim of this pilot trial is to explore whether the immunosuppressive agent MMF can slow down disease progression in patients with lcSSc compared to the current standard of care alone. This pilot trial will also provide critical information for the development of a future large trial that could potentially transform lcSSc patient management.
Epilepsy is a common neurological disease, manifested in the sudden abnormal discharge of neurons leading to short-term brain dysfunction, has become the neurology after headache the second most common disease. In China, the prevalence of epilepsy is about 4.7-8.5 per 1,000, and more than 400,000 new cases of epilepsy are developed each year. Of these, 30% of patients were treated with ineffective medication, developing into a drug-incurable epilepsy that required surgery and other treatments. The most common type of epilepsy is temporal lobe epilepsy, while the common complication in temporal lobe epilepsy is hippocampal sclerosis, which often requires surgical removal. The incidence of inner temporal lobe epilepsy associated with hippocampal sclerosis is increasing, but its exact cause and specific pathogenesis are still unclear, so clarifying its pathogenesis will contribute to the understanding of temporal lobe epilepsy and the improvement of surgical procedures. This study is intended to get single-cell transcriptome as well as spatial transcriptome data of temporal lobe and hippocampus samples. By studying gene expression change associated with epilepsy and hippocampus sclerosis, we intended to find possible prognostic-related molecules and to deepen understanding of pathological changes in epilepsy at the molecular level.
This project will investigate the feasibility and initial efficacy of two aerobic exercise training approaches, forced and voluntary, to improve motor function in persons with multiple sclerosis (MS). We hypothesize that intensive aerobic exercise training elicits a neurorepairative and neurorestorative response on the central nervous system, which may improve motor function as it relates to gait and mobility. Should aerobic cycling, forced or voluntary, improve gait and functional mobility in persons with MS, it would serve as a new model to restoring function, rather than current models that focus on compensation.
ActiSEP is a multicentric academic study. Ambulant patients with multiple sclerosis may be included on a voluntary basis. The investigators plan to include a group of approximately 80 patients with MS, fulfilling the McDonald's 2017 criteria, of whom 40 of them show a progressive course according to the Lublin classification. The investigators have planned two visits (at baseline and 1 year later). On both visits, participants will perform few tests (timed 25-Foot Walk (T25-FW), 9-Hole Peg Test (9-HPG), 6-minutes walk test (6MWT), Berg balance scale) and will answer to some questionaires (Godin Leisure Time Exercice Questionnaire, multiple sclerosis walking scale, modified fatigue impact scale, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale) After each visit, participants will wear Actimyo for three months in daily living.
