Filter by:The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of ION356.
The purpose of the study is to prospectively assess longitudinal changes in proteolipid protein 1 (PLP1) protein, disease-related biomarkers in cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) and blood, neuroimaging parameters relevant to Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease (PMD) and longitudinal changes in performance on clinical, participant, and caregiver-reported outcome assessments to inform the development of therapies for PMD.
The purpose of this study is to understand the course of rare genetic disorders that affect the brain. This data is being analyzed to gain a better understanding of the progression of the rare neurodegenerative disorders and the effects of interventions.
The Myelin Disorders Biorepository Project (MDBP) seeks to collect and analyze clinical data and biological samples from leukodystrophy patients worldwide to support ongoing and future research projects. The MDBP is one of the world's largest leukodystrophy biorepositories, having enrolled nearly 2,000 affected individuals since it was launched over a decade ago. Researchers working in the biorepository hope to use these materials to uncover new genetic etiologies for various leukodystrophies, develop biomarkers for use in future clinical trials, and better understand the natural history of these disorders. The knowledge gained from these efforts may help improve the diagnostic tools and treatment options available to patients in the future.
Leukodystrophies, and other heritable disorders of the white matter of the brain, were previously resistant to genetic characterization, largely due to the extreme genetic heterogeneity of molecular causes. While recent work has demonstrated that whole genome sequencing (WGS), has the potential to dramatically increase diagnostic efficiency, significant questions remain around the impact on downstream clinical management approaches versus standard diagnostic approaches.
The primary objective of the study is to determine the safety and feasibility of intrathecal administration of DUOC-01 as an adjunctive therapy in patients with inborn errors of metabolism who have evidence of early demyelinating disease in the central nervous system (CNS) who are undergoing standard treatment with unrelated umbilical cord blood transplantation (UCBT). The secondary objective of the study is to describe the efficacy of UCBT with intrathecal administration of DUOC-01 in these patients.
The purpose of this study is to determine the long term safety and preliminary effect of HuCNS-SC cells transplanted in subjects with Connatal Pelizaeus-Merzbacher Disease (PMD).
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and preliminary effectiveness of human central nervous system stem cells (HuCNS-SC®) transplantation in patients with Connatal Pelizaeus-Merzbacher Disease (PMD).
