Filter by:This study is being conducted in participants with geographic atrophy (GA) secondary to age-related macular degeneration (AMD) to determine if intravitreal (IVT) injections of ANX007 reduce GA lesion growth rate. The results will be used to guide further development of ANX007 in participants with geographic atrophy. The total duration of participation is expected to be approximately 19 months.
Subjects will be randomized to receive up to 1cc of Juvéderm Vollure on one side of their face and up to 1cc of Saline on the other. On Day 30, this treatment with the same left-right assignment can be repeated. Subjects will return 24-48 hours after their first treatment to fill out questionnaires, take pictures, and to be assessed by blinded evaluators regarding short term adverse events. Subjects will fill out a 30 day subject diary and also return 30 and 90 days after their last treatment to fill out questionnaires, take pictures, complete the Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS), and to be assessed on the QGSGS and for long-term adverse events by blinded evaluators. At 12 months, 18 months, and 24 months, the subjects will return to fill out questionnaires, take pictures, and to be assessed by blinded evaluators for long-term efficacy.
Skeletal muscle plays several different roles in the promotion and maintenance of health and well-being. The loss of muscle mass that occurs with aging, chronic muscle wasting diseases, and physical inactivity puts people at an increased risk of frailty and becoming insulin resistant, and therefore imposes a significant burden on health care spending. Resistance exercise participation has proven particularly effective for increasing muscle mass and strength. This effectiveness can be used by health care practitioners in a rehabilitation setting to promote the recovery of individuals who have undergone involuntary periods of muscular unloading (i.e. limb immobilization caused by a sports injury or reconstructive surgery). However, there is large variability in the amount of muscle mass and strength that people gain following participation in resistance exercise. Some individuals fail to increase the size of their muscle (low responders) whereas others show vary large increases in muscle size (high responders) in response to the same resistance training program. People also show differences in the amount of muscle tissue they lose when they have a limb immobilized. To circumvent variability across individuals, the investigators utilized a within-person paired Hypertrophy and Atrophy ('HYPAT') strategy that reduced response heterogeneity by ~40% (Available at: https://ssrn.com/abstract=3445673). Specifically, one leg performed resistance training for 10 weeks to induce hypertrophy, whereas the other leg underwent single-leg immobilization for 2 weeks to induce atrophy. The primary goal of the study will be to gain insight into the molecular responses to an acute period of single-leg immobilization and resistance exercise (8 days). The investigators will use an integrated systems biology approach to monitor the individual rates of over one hundred different muscle proteins.
The study purpose is conducting follow-up surveillance for the incidence of adverse events and efficacy of subjects participated in phase 1 trial to evaluate the safety and tolerability of autologous bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (CS10BR05) in subjects with Multiple System Atrophy until 60 months from administering investigational product (IP).
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the clinical outcomes following treatment with nusinersen in participants with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) who previously received onasemnogene abeparvovec. The secondary objectives of this study are to evaluate the safety and tolerability; clinical outcomes and pharmacodynamics (PD) of nusinersen treatment in participants with SMA who previously received onasemnogene abeparvovec.
TRACK-MSA is an observational, non-interventional, longitudinal natural history study to define changes in clinical, neurological, blood, CSF, and neuroimaging biomarkers in patients with multiple system atrophy (MSA) comparing baseline to 6-month and 1-year assessments. The study will enroll 50 patients with MSA-P or MSA-C at 2 or more participating sites.
The primary objective of this research protocol is to study and follow the course of motor neuron loss in individuals with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) using the electrophysiological technique of motor unit number estimation (MUNE). This study is based on the hypothesis that the electrophysiological technique of motor unit number estimation (MUNE) and compound muscle action potential (CMAP) provide sensitive indicators to assess the severity and progression of disease in adults with SMA.
This is a long-term follow-up safety and efficacy study of participants in clinical trials for spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) who were treated with onasemnogene abeparvovec-xioi. Participants will roll over from their respective previous (parent) study into this long-term study for continuous monitoring of safety as well as monitoring of continued efficacy and durability of response to onasemnogene abeparvovec-xioi treatment.
