Filter by:The goal of this observational study is to learn about the association between pain characteristics and cognitive functions in chronic knee osteoarthritis. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. If pain characteristics affect cognitive functions in severe knee OA patients? 2. If concentration of neuroinflammation mediators were raised in severe knee OA patients with comparing with control group participants? Participants will receive pain and cognition questionnaire before surgery and their blood and CSF will be collected for further analysis of neuroinflammation mediators.
MT1980 is being developed as a treatment for neuroinflammation (an inflammatory response in the brain and/or spinal cord). Much research has focused on the central role of neuroinflammation in the pathogenesis of many conditions relating to the CNS, including eg, traumatic brain injury, stroke, Alzheimer's disease, post-operative cognitive decline (POCD)/perioperative neurocognitive disorder, and now even long-term cognitive side effects from severe acute respiratory syndrome corona virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Current anti-inflammatories do not easily cross the blood-brain barrier from the systemic circulation to the brain, making neuroinflammation a difficult condition to treat. This will be a Phase 1, single dose, randomized, placebo-controlled study in healthy subjects. The study will provide information on the safety of MT1980, the systemic bioavailability of the active drug, and levels of the active drug in the CSF. The study will be conducted in two parts. In Part 1, subjects will be randomized to receive a single oral dose of MT1980 or placebo in a parallel design. An interim PK and safety data analysis will be performed after Part 1 prior to dose selection in Part 2. In Part 2 subjects will be randomized to receive either placebo or a single oral dose of MT1980 at one of 2 strengths in a parallel design.
This planned study is based on a randomized, placebo-controlled cross-over design. Palmityhlethanolamide (PEA) is an endogenous fatty acid amide from the group of N-Acetylethanolamides, which analgesic, anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effects can be attributed to this. In clinical studies, PEA has mainly been used as an adjuvant in pain therapy. The previous data show clinical efficacy without conclusions that can be drawn about the underlying mechanisms - these have not yet been investigated in a human experiment. The planned study, which demonstrates the mode of action of PEA using an established pain model on healthy volunteers, will help to assign the efficacy to peripheral or central nervous systems. These mechanisms allow to establish mechanism-oriented therapy approaches. These findings are essential for a better understanding of the clinical efficacy and to evaluate the correct fields of application.
The purpose of the present research protocol is to investigate and identify translocator protein 18kDa, MRI DTI, and EEG/ERPs, markers of Chronic Systemic Symptoms (CSS).
