Filter by:SMA (Spinal Muscular Atrophy) is a rare neuromuscular disease characterized by motoneuron damage. Symptoms consist of respiratory involvement with numerous respiratory infections and eventually respiratory failure, for which NIV (Non Invasive Ventilation) is often used. Ventilation machines are in close contact with the respiratory tract of patients. They contain heated water to humidify the circuit. These humid and warm environments are conducive to the development of bacteria such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa. In this context, it is interesting to look for the presence or absence of bacteria, in comparison with the respiratory ecology of the patients. The aim is to highlight the microbiological role of NIV on the occurrence of respiratory bacterial infections or secondary infections in patients with SMA. To do this, samples are taken from the machines, and ECBCs are performed on patients during respiratory physiotherapy sessions.
Purpose of this phase 1/2a study is to assess the safety and efficacy of intrathecal administration of allogeneic human oral mucosa stem cells (hOMSCs) in patients suffering from early to moderate stage Multiple System Atrophy (MSA) .
This is a Phase 3, multi-center, randomized withdrawal study to evaluate the efficacy and durability of ampreloxetine in participants with MSA and symptomatic nOH after 20 weeks of treatment. This study includes 4 periods: Screening, open label, randomized withdrawal, and long-term treatment extension (LTE).
This trial will the efficacy of KM-819 compared to placebo in subjects with MSA for slowing the progression of MSA.
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess efficacy and safety in patients with myopic chorioretinal atrophy. The main question it aims to answer are: • Percentage of changes in the chorioretinal atrophic area Participants will be implanted one sheet of PAL-222 into the subretinal space through pars plana vitrectomy. Researchers will compare non-therapeutic eye to see if the changes is significant different.
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a genetic disease of the nervous system that affects about 1 in 7,0001.2 births and results in very high mortality for patients with the disease. There are about 120 new cases in France each year and an estimated total of 2500 patients. It is the leading cause of genetic mortality in children in France. Until 2017, no etiological treatment was available. Currently, three treatments have been approved and have authorizations in France. The current clinical developments in SMA show the importance of an early treatment for patients. 3. The identification of pre-symptomatic patients is therefore essential to improve the effectiveness of treatments on an individual level and to avoid any loss of chance, as well as to reduce the societal cost of disability for patients treated in post-symptomatic. Several countries in Europe and around the world have implemented regional pilot screening programs for the disease. The screening test is based on a molecular genetic analysis that has been performed for many years, and which is highly reliable; there is currently no biochemical marker that can be used. The objective of our project is to demonstrate the feasibility of neonatal screening for spinal amyotrophy in two French regions before being able to propose to extend it to the whole of France. The management of all screened patients will be decided outside the pilot study, by the existing national multidisciplinary consultation meeting, according to the best available standards of care and will be based on the national network of neuromuscular disease reference centers The objective of the project is not the evaluation of the efficacy of treatments or neonatal screening: these objectives are being studied by existing or otherwise ongoing studies around the world. This project has been set up to be in line with the existing structures in France that are responsible for neonatal screening (via the regional neonatal screening centers (CRDN) and the regional perinatal networks) and for the management of rare diseases (via the neuromuscular disease reference centers and their FILNEMUS network). This project is performed in collaboration with AFM Telethon, Directorate of Health Care Supply, Regional Health Agency (ARS), FILNEMUS network, Novartis Gene Therapies, Roche Pharma AG,Biogen. Investigator wish, as far as possible, to bring this study closer to real life and to be able to generate as much information as possible that can be used directly to prefigure the potential generalization of this screening strategy to the entire national territory.
An outpatient rehabilitation program for children (6 months to less than 6 years old) with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) treated with genetic based therapies is being studied. Participants will participate in a 12-week therapy program where they receive 45 minutes each of occupational therapy and physical therapy each week. Home exercises will also be prescribed to be completed 5 days per week. At the end of the therapy program, there will be a 12-week period of no therapy where only home exercises will be completed. Assessments and program evaluation will occur at the beginning (Week 0) and end of the rehabilitation program (Week 24), then at the end of the no therapy block (week 24).
This study will evaluate the success and safety of subretinal surgical delivery as well as the preliminary activity of OpRegen in participants with geographic atrophy (GA) secondary to age-related macular degeneration (AMD). All endpoints are assessed for the study eye unless otherwise indicated.
10 Patients having horizontally deficient anterior maxillary areas will be recruited and a preoperative CBCT will be done. The plan is to graft the defective ridges with simultaneously placing dental implants using a PEEK shell that will be specifically designed, constructed and 3D printed to act as a surgical guide for osteotomy drilling and implant placement as well as housing both the implant and the sticky bone (using a mixture of autogenous bone harvested from the symphysis area and xenograft both mixed with plasmatic matrix); that will be added to augment the defective ridge; the PEEK shell will also act as a barrier membrane for Guided Bone Regeneration and will add more stability to the placed implants that will be fixed to the PEEK shell occlusally with a Ti - based abutment. Primary stability will be measured using Ostell and an immediate postoperative CBCT will be done and superimposed on the preoperative CBCT and an accuracy of plan transfer will be measured to make sure the planning was followed accurately. Then 6 months later, another CBCT will be done to check the bone gain and quality and a second surgery will be done to remove the PEEK shell and proceed with the conventional implant prosthetic phase.
The purpose of this trial is to evaluate safety and efficacy of intravenous delivery of EXG001-307 as a treatment of spinal muscular atrophy Type 1 (SMN1).
