Filter by:This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled and multicenter 3 phase trial evaluating the therapeutic effect and safety of CMT1A by PXT3003. This double-blind study will assess in parallel groups 1 dose of PXT3003 compared to Placebo in CMT1A patients treated for 15 months.
Anterior cutaneous nerve entrapment syndrome (ACNES) is caused by nerve entrapment in the abdominal wall. Recently de Weerd and Weum have suggested lumbar cutaneous nerve entrapment syndrome (LUCNES) as a name for a similar condition in the lower back. DIRT can potentially be used to identify the locations of perforators, thereby also indirectly identifying the location of nerve entrapment in ACNES and LUCNES, when a point of maximal pain corresponds to a hot spot. This study evaluates the location of hot spots on DIRT in relation to tender points and perforators visualized with CT angiography and color Doppler. In the ACNES patients, DIRT performed with a low-cost smartphone thermal camera will be compared to DIRT with a professional thermal camera to evaluate the usefulness of low-cost equipment to visualize the point of nerve entrapment.
This study will assess the serum NT-3 levels in individuals with the diagnosis of peripheral neuropathy or any type of Charcot-Marie-Tooth Neuropathy (CMT) and correlate this with function.
The primary aim of this study is to discover whether patients with CMT type 1 and 2 have neuromuscular junction transmission deficits. The secondary aim is to collect information of different clinical and electrophysiological test procedures to perform possible future clinical trials in CMT patients.
This is a cross-sectional study to clarify the gene lineage distribution of CMT genes in CMT patients in my country, draw a frequency map of CMT gene distribution, and assist in determining the genetic diagnosis strategy of CMT diseases. All patients will be collected for clinical and electrophysiological data. Patients and families who meet the enrollment criteria will be tested for blood tests.
This research aims to investigate the effect of high-intensity laser therapy on pain, function, nerve conduction studies and grip strength in patients with idiopathic carpal tunnel syndrome.
Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease is the commonest sensitivo-motor inherited peripheral neuropathies with a prevalence of about 10-30 per 100,000. To date, more than 80 genes have been found responsible for CMT. Some of these genes code for mitochondrial proteins such as mitofusin 2 (MFN2). In the last few years, our laboratory has developed strong expertise in metabolomics. The MetaDLM_CMT2A project proposes to produce metabolomic and lipidomic maps in CMT2A plasma from a cohort of genetically and clinically characterized patients with a national recruitment. In the perspective of future clinical trials, these biomarkers and the better understanding of lipid metabolism defects in CMT2A would be of major interest in monitoring the evolution of the disease and developing specific therapeutic approaches.
The purpose of this study is to investigate if a person with weakness or paralysis in one or both arms, can use the NuroSleeve combined powered arm brace (orthosis) and muscle stimulation system to help restore movement in one arm sufficient to perform daily activities. This study could lead to the development of a product that could allow people with arm weakness or arm paralysis to use the NuroSleeve and similar devices to improve arm health and independent function.
Irisin is an exercise-mimetic myokine secreted by skeletal muscle. Compelling evidence in animal models and humans showed that Irisin prevents onset of musculoskeletal atrophy and its low serum levels are predictive of sarcopenia. The investigators evaluated the levels of irisin in patients affected by an hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy, namely Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT), in order to investigate possible key determinants of their muscle quality and possibly prevent the progressive distal weakness and muscle atrophy.
The study will consist of 2 periods: Double-blind Treatment and Open-Label Extension(OLE) Period. -Double-blind Treatment Period - This will be randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled part of the study which will be conducted in parallel groups, ie,1 group receiving the active treatment (PXT3003) and the other group receiving placebo. Primary endpoint of the study will be assessed at Month 15. -Open-label Extension (OLE) Period - All subjects completing Double-blind Treatment Period will be given an opportunity to enter the OLE Period of the study and receive the active treatment (PXT3003). The duration of the OLE Period will be based on Sponsor discretion, ie, Sponsor intends to keep the study open until the study drug PXT3003 is commercially available. During this period, the long-term safety and efficacy of PXT3003 will be assessed as an exploratory objective. Double-blind Treatment Period Objectives: Primary: To evaluate the efficacy of treatment with PXT3003 (a fixed-dose combination of [RS]-baclofen, naltrexone hydrochloride [HCl], and D-sorbitol) compared to placebo in subjects with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1A (CMT1A). Secondary: To evaluate the safety and tolerability of PXT3003 treatment in subjects with CMT1A. Exploratory: To characterize the relationship between plasma biomarkers and response to PXT3003 treatment. OLE Period Objective: Exploratory: To evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of PXT3003.
