Filter by:The primary objective of this study is to measure ubiquitin-protein ligase E3A (UBE3A) protein levels in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and to evaluate its utility as a biomarker in support of the development of therapies for AS.
This open-label study (OV101-18-002) will evaluate the long-term (52 weeks) safety of OV101 in subjects with AS and provide additional OV101 treatment to those subjects who completed Study OV101-15-001 (NCT02996305). Subjects with AS who completed the pharmacokinetic Study OV101-16-001 (NCT03109756) will also be permitted to participate, provided they meet all entry criteria.
The objective is to develop and test, through an iterative process, an intervention to address and support the development of infants with a confirmed diagnosis of a neurogenetic disorder with associated developmental delays or intellectual and developmental disabilities. The proposed project will capitalize and expand upon existing empirically based interventions designed to improve outcomes for infants with suspected developmental delays. Participants will be infants with a confirmed diagnosis of a neurogenetic disorder (e.g., fragile X, Angelman, Prader-Willi, Dup15q, Phelan-McDermid, Rhett, Smith Magenis, Williams, Turner, Kleinfelter, Down syndromes, Duchenne muscular dystrophy) within the first year of life and their parents/caregivers. The intervention, called the Parent and Infant Inter(X)action Intervention (PIXI) is a comprehensive program inclusive of parent education about early infant development and the neurogenetic disorder for which they were diagnosed, direct parent coaching around parent-child interaction, and family/parent well-being support. The protocol includes repeated comprehensive assessments of family and child functioning, along with an examination of feasibility and acceptability of the program.
Early Check provides voluntary screening of newborns for a selected panel of conditions. The study has three main objectives: 1) develop and implement an approach to identify affected infants, 2) address the impact on infants and families who screen positive, and 3) evaluate the Early Check program. The Early Check screening will lead to earlier identification of newborns with rare health conditions in addition to providing important data on the implementation of this model program. Early diagnosis may result in health and development benefits for the newborns. Infants who have newborn screening in North Carolina will be eligible to participate, equating to over 120,000 eligible infants a year. Over 95% of participants are expected to screen negative. Newborns who screen positive and their parents are invited to additional research activities and services. Parents can enroll eligible newborns on the Early Check electronic Research Portal. Screening tests are conducted on residual blood from existing newborn screening dried blood spots. Confirmatory testing is provided free-of-charge for infants who screen positive, and carrier testing is provided to mothers of infants with fragile X. Affected newborns have a physical and developmental evaluation. Their parents have genetic counseling and are invited to participate in surveys and interviews. Ongoing evaluation of the program includes additional parent interviews.
The Italian Angelman Registry is a national registry for patients with Angelman Syndrome. No experimental intervention is involved in participation. The data provided are stored in the registry according the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR, enforced on 25 May 2018), unless participants wish to withdraw their child/ adult's information from the registry.
Low carbohydrate diets such as the ketogenic (KD) and low glycemic index (LGIT) diets have been shown to be effective in treating drug resistant seizures in children with Angelman syndrome (AS). The investigators hypothesize that consuming a fat based nutritional formulation with an exogenous ketone throughout the day will produce urinary ketosis in children consuming both low and high carbohydrate diets, depending upon dietary background. The nutritional formulation will provide fuel substrates that push metabolism away from carbohydrates and towards fat utilization. This research is being done to assess the safety and tolerability of a nutritional formulation for use in dietary interventions in AS.
The aims of study on Angelman syndrome: 1. Establish the Angelman syndrome database 2. Explore the brain Network of Angelman Syndrome Based on Multi-modal Brain Image and Neural-EEG Data
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness (how well a drug works) of Carbidopa/levodopa (Sinemet) in individuals with Angelman syndrome. Sinemet is a medication that helps to raise dopamine levels (a chemical that signals nerve cells) in the brain and central nervous system. There is evidence that dopamine concentrations may be abnormal in patients with Angelman syndrome. This study is investigating whether Sinemet helps motor control, intellectual function and the achievement of developmental milestones in people with Angelman syndrome
The trial is a Phase 1 Single Dose PK Study in Adolescent Subjects with Fragile X syndrome (FXS) or Angelman syndrome (AS). - The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) of OV101 following a single 5 mg dose of OV101 in adolescents with FXS or AS. - Secondary objectives are to determine the safety and tolerability of a single 5 mg dose of OV101 in adolescents with FXS or AS.
The purpose of the study is to assess the safety and tolerability of oral OV101 (gaboxadol) in adult and adolescent subjects with Angelman syndrome. In addition, several exploratory efficacy outcome measures will be investigated.
