Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of intramuscular (IM) administration of Engensis in Participants with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) as compared to Placebo. Safety will be assessed by incidences of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs), treatment-emergent serious adverse events (TESAEs), injection site reactions (ISRs) and other adverse events of special interest (AESIs), and the clinically significant laboratory values after injections of Engensis compared to Placebo. Exploratory endpoints include assessment of muscle function using the Revised Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Functional Rating Scale (ALSFRS-R) and ALSFRS-R subscores for Fine and Gross Motor Function; muscle strength by quantitative testing using handheld dynamometry (HHD) and the Accurate Test of Limb Isometric Strength (ATLIS) where available; quality of life using the ALS Assessment Questionnaire (ALSAQ-40); patient global impression of change (PGIC), clinical global impression of change (CGIC), and clinical global impression of severity (CGIS); and evaluation of lung function using Slow Vital Capacity (SVC). Muscle biopsies will be performed during the study for future biomarker analyses.
The HEALEY ALS Platform Trial is a perpetual multi-center, multi-regimen clinical trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of investigational products for the treatment of ALS. Regimen D will evaluate the safety and efficacy of a single study drug, pridopidine, in participants with ALS.
This is a 24-month, Phase 2, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of pegcetacoplan in subjects with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)
This is a Phase 3, international, multicenter, open-label, long-term extension study. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of oral edaravone in subjects with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) for up to 96 weeks.
This is a phase 0 study that will enable an assessment of biodistribution and estimation of absorbed dose in humans based on data collected from five healthy volunteers, which is typically the minimum number required by the FDA for first-in-human studies to assess dosimetry of a new tracer. The evaluation of the brain imaging of thirty additional subjects in the 2nd part of the study will lead to a descriptive assessment of the targeting and pharmacokinetics of MPC6827 in the brain and between normal and diseased brain.
This study is a multi-center, open-label study of intravenous (IV) ANX005 in participants with ALS.
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a serious rapidly progressive disease of the nervous system. The average survival from the time of diagnosis is 3 years. Apart from Riluzole, there is no effective treatment. Care of advanced ALS will have a cost of 4-8 million NOK per year Research i.a. from the investigators department has shown that increased activity in histone deacetylation enzymes (sirtuins) together with increased access to NAD can delay disease progression. Nicotinamide riboside (NR) can increase cells' access to NAD and Pterostilben will stimulate sirtuins. The investigators want to study whether combination therapy with NR and Pterostilben can inhibit neurodegeneration in ALS and thereby delay disease development, increase survival and improve quality of life in ALS. In the study, the investigators will use 2 different dosages on the active treatment and strength calculations show that 180 patients are needed to show a rather weak effect. Patients will be recruited in collaboration with hospitals in Helse Vest, AHUS, Drammen, OUS and St. Olavs hospital.
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a relentlessly progressive and fatal neurodegenerative disease characterized by progressive weakness involving limb, bulbar, and respiratory muscles.There is currently no information suggesting how COVID-19 affects patients diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). This is especially important as respiratory compromise is common in ALS patients and can complicate the clinical course as COVID-19 could lead to respiratory failure and need for intubation. We intend that this registry will guide our understanding of how COVID-19 affects patients with ALS.
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a disease that causes the death of upper and lower motor neurons. ALS symptoms are characterized by stiffness, muscle twitching, and worsening weakness due to muscle breakdown. Onset of symptoms are typically arm or leg weakness or difficulty speaking or swallowing and gradual development of overall body weakness. The cause is unknown and there is no cure for ALS. Poly MVA was found to substantially lower fatigue and improve quality of life in a pilot study of patients with varied medical disorders. The reduction in fatigue was also observed in a small series of patients enrolled in an open label study for patients with gliomas. In this study, we want to find out more about a dietary supplement, called Poly MVA (also called the study drug in this form), for people with ALS. We want to find out if Poly MVA reduces the symptoms of fatigue and depression when taken daily. The supplement contains vitamins, minerals and amino acids (proteins) and has been used by patients with other medical conditions to help with their fatigue and quality of life.
In this proposed study, the investigators will evaluate the safety and efficacy of lipoic acid in treatment of Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The study will recruit 150 AD patients, and then these patients will be randomized to lipoic acid group or control group (75 patients per arm) for 6 courses for about 5 months. Clinical assessment will be done at screen/baseline, 3th course and 6th course. The specific aims are to compare lipoic acid versus control on: motor function and disease progression. During the study period, clinical effect index will be recorded, including bulbar function, motor function, respiratory function, and safety index including blood and urine routine, liver and kidney function, coagulation function.
