Filter by:To evaluate the correlation between peripheral neurofilament levels and clinical subtypes of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and the severity of peripheral motor axonal involvement.
1. Describe the distribution of ALS in mainland China, to explore the differences in the number of ALS in different times, regions and populations in order to further explore the causes affecting the distribution of ALS; 2. To investigate the cause of ALS in mainland China in the crowd disease development process and the corresponding characteristics change ; 3. To explore the effect of prognosis of ALS;
To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of intravenous infusion of plasma from healthy young people for the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
Venous thrombo-embolic (VTE) rates could be high in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Indeed, the rate of VTE in this specific population could be 7-fold higher in this population. Predictiv factors of VTE in patients with ALS are mobility reduction and neurological paralysis. However, to our knowledge, medical littérature is poor concerning VTE and ALS association. Our first aim is to define annual rate of VTE in ALS population.Then we aim to identify predictiv factors of VTE in this specific population. The studied population is Brest universitary hospital cohort of ALS patient included between 2000 and 2019.
Up to 50% of patients affected with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) can show behavioral dysfunctions within the spectrum of frontotemporal degenerations (FTD) - namely, apathy, disinhibition, loss of sympathy/empathy, perseverative and stereotyped behaviours, dietary changes [Strong et al., 2017]. The Beaumont Behavioural Inventory (BBI) [Elamin et al., 2017] is a questionnaire designed for detecting FTD-spectrum behavioural changes in ALS patients. The present study aims at both validating the BBI in an Italian ALS population and determining normative cut-off values of the instrument.
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 B will evaluate the safety and efficacy of a single study drug, verdiperstat, in participants with ALS.
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 A will evaluate the safety and efficacy of a single study drug, zilucoplan, in participants with ALS.
Respiratory failure is the leading cause of death in motor neuron disease (MND) patients. Symptoms of respiratory dysfunction in MND patients include sleep disturbance, excessive daytime somnolence, morning headaches and cognitive changes. Almost all MND patients will develop respiratory problems during the course of their disease. In a small percentage of MND patients, respiratory failure may present as the primary symptom at onset, whereas more commonly it develops later in the disease.
This is a Phase IIa, randomized, open-label, multi-center, multi-dose study for subjects with mild to moderate ALS. The protocol is designed to determine whether ALZT-OP1a treatment will positively impact neuro-inflammatory biomarkers and slow down or arrest functional decline in subjects with mild to moderate ALS.
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 C will evaluate the safety and efficacy of a single study drug, CNM-Au8, in participants with ALS.
