Filter by:AOC 1001-CS2 (MARINA-OLE) is a Phase 2 extension of the AOC 1001-CS1 (MARINA) study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, efficacy, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of multiple-doses of AOC 1001 Administered Intravenously to Adult Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1 (DM1) patients
AOC 1001-CS1 is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, Phase 1/2 study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of single and multiple-doses of AOC 1001 Administered Intravenously to Adult Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1 (DM1) patients (MARINA). Part A is a single dose design with 1 cohort (dose level). In Part A, the patient duration is 6 months as the treatment period is 1 day followed by a 6 month follow-up period. Part B is a multiple-ascending dose design with 2 cohorts (dose levels). In Part B, the patient duration is 6 months as the treatment period is 3 months followed by a 3 month follow-up period.
The aim of this project is (1) to investigate whether or not structural muscle abnormalities could be a consequence of the disorder and (2) to provide further clinical description of this rare phenotype. To do so, the investigators will (1) use Dixon MRI to quantify fatty infiltration in muscle tissue and compare it to muscle strength measurements from isometric dynamometry in order to access contractility and (2) describe the myotonic phenotype with simple squeeze test and questionnaires.
This is an open-label, multi-centre, single arm, interventional study to describe the steady-state PK, safety, and efficacy of mexiletine in paediatric patients (6 to <18 years of age) with myotonic disorders.
Open-label Extension Study to Evaluate the Long-term Safety and Efficacy of Mexiletine in Paediatric Patients with Myotonic Disorders Who Have Completed the MEX-NM-301 study.
This is a non-interventional, prospective, observational, multicentre study to evaluate the long-term safety and effectiveness of Namuscla in adult patients with NDM.
The Myotonic Dystrophy Family Registry (MDFR) is an online, patient-entered database that collects information on myotonic dystrophy (DM) to aid researchers in developing new, effective treatments and help identify participants for research studies and clinical trials.
Treatment strategies in non-dystrophic myotonias are based on selective case reports, clinical experience and theoretical benefit. Presently, the most promising antimyotonic medication is mexiletine (MEX) but its manufacturing was stopped. The proposed randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover trial is designed to: 1. study the safety and efficacy of mexiletine for the treatment of non-dystrophic myotonias 2. validate electromyographic tests as a standardized outcome measure of myotonia 3. assess the reliability and validity of a new clinical rating scale for myotonia
The purpose of this study is to gather preliminary data to determine if ranolazine is a safe and effective treatment for the symptoms of myotonia congenital, paramyotonia congenita, and myotonic dystrophy type 1. The duration of the study is 5 weeks.
Myotonia is a functional limiting symptom where the muscle stiffens on action leading to arrest of movement. Pharmacological treatment may make the difference between a physically restricted and a normal life. Today, patients with myotonia are treated with Mexiletine a medications resulting in adverse events up to 40 % and which very expensive and difficult to obtain. Our clinic has, forced by the above problems related to Mexiletine, treated a few patients with the drug Lamotrigine with pronounced positive effect in all. Lamotrigine belongs to the same category of drugs as Mexiletine but has fewer and milder side effects. Based on the similarities of the 2 drugs in pharmacological action and the positive experiences investigators are convinced that Lamotrigine will show a positive effect if evaluated in a broader scale. Due to the advantages of Lamotrigine compared to Mexiletine investigators find it of outmost importance for patients that this drug is assessed formally to establish Lamotrigine as a treatment choice for myotonia. Investigators believe that this will potentially make a huge difference in life quality for persons with myotonia. Investigators aim at investigating the efficacy and tolerability of Lamotrigine in the treatment of myotonia in a randomized doublet blinded placebo controlled crossover study.
