Filter by:The pHeNIx study, a national multicentre prospective non-interventional study, should help to describe the conditions of use for Hizentra® and the methods for switching from the IV to SC route in everyday practice, together with the tolerability and efficacy of treatment, which is monitored using a patient application (PRO: Patient-Reported Outcomes).
Sensory polyneuropathy is one of the most prevalent neurological disorders and a common finding in kidney transplant recipients (KTR). However, prevalence, course and underlying aetiology in this specific patient group remain unexplored. To diagnose sensory polyneuropathy in KTR in clinical practice, a relatively easy and inexpensive method is needed. The Erasmus Polyneuropathy Symptom Score (E-PSS) and the adapted modified Toronto Clinical Neuropathy Score (amTCNS) are such scores. These scores would enable internal medicine physicians to diagnose polyneuropathy in a reliable way without the need of additional examinations. However, a validation of the E-PSS and amTCNS with the golden standard of diagnosing sensory polyneuropathy, which are quantitative sensory testing (QST) and nerve conduction studies (NCS), is needed. The objective of this observational cross-sectional study is to validate the E-PSS and amTCNS with QST and NCS and to determine reference values of the amTCNS. 200 KTR will be included to take part in one study visit which encompasses neurological examination according to the protocol of the amTCNS, QST and NCS. Prior to the study visit, participants will be asked to answer the E-PSS questionnaire in the home setting. The main study endpoint is to validate the E-PSS and the amTCNS result with QST and NCS. To reach this endpoint different study parameters will be included which are the result of the E-PSS and amTCNS, results of the QST (thermal threshold testing), and results of the NCS (amplitude, velocity and distal latency of measurements at the sural sensory nerve, ulnar sensory nerve, peroneal motor nerve, tibial motor nerve and ulnar motor nerve, soleus H reflex).
Primary Objectives: - Part A: Efficacy of SAR445088 across three subpopulations of CIDP patients: standard of care (SOC)-Treated, SOC-Refractory and SOC-Naive - Part B:Long-term safety and tolerability of SAR445088 in CIDP Secondary Objectives: - Part A: - Safety and tolerability of SAR445088 in CIDP - Immunogenicity of SAR445088 - Efficacy of SAR445088 with overlapping SOC (SOC-Treated group) - Part B: - Durability of efficacy during long-term treatment with SAR445088 in CIDP - Long-term immunogenicity of SAR445088 in CIDP
One of the most common complications of diabetes mellitus is diabetic polyneuropathy, which leads to disability and reduces quality of life. The toxic effects of high glucose concentrations contribute to the formation of ketoaldehyde free radicals, which, at an increased rate of their formation, leads to the development of oxidative stress in the nervous tissue. The planned study of the use of Cytoflavin® in diabetic polyneuropathy is substantiated by its antioxidant effect, which, by analogy with alpha-lipoic acid preparations, suggests its efficacy in the combined treatment of such patients. This clinical study is being conducted to assess the efficacy and safety of Cytoflavin® versus Placebo in diabetic polyneuropathy patients with type 2 diabetes. Study patients will receive study medication, 10 IV infusions followed by 75 days of oral intake. Clinical efficacy will be assessed by alleviation of symptoms (burning, numbness, pain and pricking), using the total symptoms score(TSS), after the completion of the treatment course.
Objectives: The main objective is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of phenytoin cream in patients with neuropathic pain due to chronic idiopathic axonal polyneuropathy (CIAP). The second objective is to determine the predictive value of a double-blind placebo-controlled response test (DOBRET) to identify sustained responders. Study design: This is a 6-week enrichment randomized double-blind, placebo-controlled cross-over trial evaluating phenytoin cream in 84 participants with painful CIAP, whereafter an open label extension phase is offered with phenytoin 20 percent cream for up to one year. At baseline a DOBRET with phenytoin 10 percent and placebo cream will be performed in each study participant to stratify participants according to their response to the DOBRET before entering the double-blind cross-over phase. DOBRET positive participants are those who experience at least two points pain reduction on the 11-point numerical rating scale (NRS) on the phenytoin 10 percent cream applied area within 30 minutes and at least one-point difference in pain reduction on the NRS between phenytoin 10 percent and placebo cream applied area, in favour of the former. Participants will receive three treatments in a double blind fashion and in a randomized order: phenytoin 10 percent, phenytoin 20 percent and placebo cream. The duration of each treatment period is two weeks. Participants will cross-over two times to each of the other treatments. The study does not have wash-out periods between treatments, because the mean duration of analgesic effect after an application is expected to be less than nine hours. A blood sample will be collected at the end of the second week of the first treatment period to test for phenytoin plasma levels. Study population: The investigators aim to include 84 participants, age 40 years or older, who have been diagnoses with painful CIAP at the University Medical Center Utrecht and fulfil the inclusion criteria and have given written informed consent. Interventions: Phenytoin cream in concentrations of 10 percent and 20 percent cream compared to placebo cream. Primary endpoint: Change in pain intensity measured on the NRS between baseline and week 2 for phenytoin 20% cream versus placebo cream.
Aging can be defined as sequential deterioration that occurs in elderly people including weakness, loss of mobility, decline of physical capabilities, increase susceptibility to disease and many other age-related physiological changes .The beginning of old age in most developed countries is about 60 or 65 years old. Diabetes mellitus (DM) and most commonly type 2 DM is one of the most common chronic non-communicable diseases affecting old people in Saudi Arabia which might be resulted from decline in physical activities. Polyneuropathy (PN) and its serious consequences represent the most common complication in diabetic mellitus which could contribute to an increased gait abnormality and risk of falling.
This study will be conducted to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of NTLA-2001 in participants with hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis with polyneuropathy (ATTRv-PN) and participants with hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis with cardiomyopathy (ATTRv-CM) or wild type cardiomyopathy (ATTRwt-CM)
So far, there are no sufficient pharmacologic therapies for the treatment of diabetic neuropathy. Therefore, we evaluated application of high-tone external muscle stimulation (HTEMS) compared to placebo treatment in patients with diabetic neuropathy.
SIDEC - (Subcutaneous Immunoglobulin in De-novo CIDP) ia a study designed as a randomized, parallel study with an open-label extension phase. The aims are to compare the effect of SCIG and IVIG in 60 treatment-naïve CIDP patients, and to detect the lowest effective dosage for maintenance treatment.
To determine the effect of Transcranial direct current stimulation on sensory integration and risk of falling in diabetic polyneuropathy.
