Filter by:The goal of this prospective, longitudinal, single-center study is to describe respiratory function in patients affected by FSHD at baseline and after one year using both diaphragmatic ultrasound and pulmonary function test. The primary questions this study aims to answer are: 1. How does respiratory function assessed by diaphragmatic ultrasound and pulmonary function tests change over 12 months in FSHD patients? 2. How accurate is diaphragmatic ultrasound in detecting respiratory abnormalities in these patients compared to pulmonary function tests? 3. What is the relationship between ultrasound and functional indices, and how do these indices correlate with demographic, clinical, and genetic data? To achieve this, we will enroll a cohort of 34 patients affected by FSHD, and each of them will undergo a comprehensive neurological examination, body plethysmography, measurement of maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP) and maximal espiratory pressure (MEP) and nocturnal oximetry at baseline and after 12 months.
A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Phase 1/2 Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics, and Exploratory Efficacy of AOC 1020 Administered Intravenously to Adult Participants with Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy (FSHD)
This multi-centre, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover trial will compare changes in strength-related motor function following treatment with creatine monohydrate to treatment with placebo, as measured by the Motor Function Measure, from baseline to 12 weeks. Eligible subjects will undergo baseline assessments then will be randomised to either creatine monohydrate therapy or placebo for three months, followed by a six week wash-out period, then crossover to a further three months of therapy with either placebo or creatine. Subjects will undergo clinical assessments and study safety assessments at the beginning and end of each treatment period. The study will begin recruitment in early 2017.
