Filter by:The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of revusiran (ALN-TTRSC) in adults with transthyretin-mediated amyloidosis (ATTR), whose disease has continued to worsen after liver transplantation. Dosing has been discontinued; patients are being followed-up for safety.
This case-control study investigated B-vitamin and homocysteine in relation to the presence or the absence of type 2 diabetes and clinical signs of polyneuropathy.
The investigators are using self administered subcutaneous IG in patients with CIDP who require IVIG. Safety, efficacy, and patient satisfaction will be examined.
Systemic inflammation and sepsis cause multi organ failure including severe neurologic impairment in the course of disease. Neurologic failure typically presents as critical-illness-polyneuropathy/-myopathy and septic encephalopathy during sepsis and is associated with an increased mortality rate. Clinical parameters to determine the neurologic entities during the course of sepsis are heterogeneous. Further research for an association of clinical parameters and the patients' outcome is needed. The study aims toward differences in the clinical and neurological outcome of surgical and non-surgical septic patients in comparison to non-septic patients on ICU. The aim of the study is to identify clinical and diagnostic outcome predictors in septic patients.
Through the multinational pooled dataset approach, this trial will aim to derive and validate specific in vivo Corneal Confocal Microscopy (CCM) parameter thresholds for the identification of diabetic polyneuropathy, and - more importantly - the identification of individuals at future risk. Results of the study will permit application in clinical practice and intervention trials for diabetic polyneuropathy (DPN) risk stratification. The primary goal of the study is to re-examine individuals with type 1 and type 2 diabetes with and without neuropathy, who had CCM performed in the past as a part of their neurological examination, to assess concurrent and predictive validity of different CCM parameters in individuals . These subjects will be invited to the study to be re-examined by CCM along with other neurological tests (physical exam, nerve conduction studies, quantitative sensory testing, blood test and in some centres also skin biopsy) during the single study visit. Additionally CCM data will be analyzed both manually and by recently developed automated analytical software to evaluate accuracy of the automated method. Evaluation of automated image analysis will influence likelihood of successful knowledge translation of this surrogate biomarker for DPN into clinical practice - in which the procedure could be harmonized with annual retinal examinations - and into intervention trials. Secondary aim of the study is to determine the factors associated with CCM parameters and their longitudinal change and collect bio-samples for future research in this field.
This is a prospective observational study of 30 adult CIDP patients who receive home IVIg infusion services from AxelaCare Health Solutions, LLC. The decision to treat with IVIg will be entirely at the discretion of the patient's treating physician.
The purpose of this large comparative effectiveness study led by Richard J. Barohn, MD, of the University of Kansas Medical Center, is to learn about the safety and effectiveness of nortriptyline, duloxetine, pregabalin and mexiletine in treating cryptogenic sensory polyneuropathy (CSPN).
Clinical proof of concept study to evaluate SOM0226 efficacy in TTR Amyloidosis.
This study evaluates the safety and tolerability of extended dosing with IONIS-TTR Rx in patients with Familial Amyloid Polyneuropathy.
Aims: To evaluate the effect of ezetimibe/simvastatin and rosuvastatin on oxidative stress and mitochondrial function in patients with DPN. Methods: We performed a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled phase II clinical trial in adult patients with type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) who had Diabetic Polyneuropathy (DPN) evaluated by composite scores and nerve conduction studies (NCS), HBA1C <12% (108 mmol/mol), previous exclusion of other neuropathies. Ninety-eight persons with T2DM were allocated 1:1:1 to either placebo, ezetimibe/simvastatin 10/20 mg or rosuvastatin 20 mg for 16 weeks, and healthy controls (not randomized) were included for comparisons. Primary outcomes were lipid peroxidation (LPO), nitric oxide (NO), and total antioxidant capacity (TAC); secondary were clinical, NCS and metabolic parameters. Results were expressed as mean ± standard deviation (SD) or standard error of the mean (SEM), frequencies and percentages. Non-parametric analysis was used.
