Filter by:The purpose of this prospective registry is to characterize the natural history of ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase1(ENPP1) Deficiency and the infantile-onset form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) binding cassette transporter protein subfamily C member 6 (ABCC6) Deficiency longitudinally. The registry will prospectively gather information about the genetic, biochemical, physiological, anatomic, radiographic, and functional manifestations (including patient reported outcomes [PROs]) of each disease during routine, standard-of-care visits, with the aim of developing a comprehensive understanding of the burden of illness and progressive nature of the disease.
To investigate the variation in backscattering with depth between forme fruste keratoconus (FFKC), keratoconus, and normal eyes; to determine the backscattering changes in the characteristics of keratoconus progression; and to explore the diagnostic value of backscattering in FFKC.
The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to assess the effect of etidronate on ectopic calcification in relatively young patients with Pseudoxanthoma elasticum. The main question it aims to answer are: What is the difference in the arterial calcification scores in the legs and the carotid syphon measured on low-dose CT scan after 24 months of treatment compared to baseline between etidronate and placebo. Participants will be asked to do take etidronate or placebo for 24 months.
This study aims to systematically assess the retest reliability and ability to detect a change of new visual function tests and ophthalmological imaging methods for observing the natural course of pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE).
This study was designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacodynamics (PD) of DS-1211b, and pharmacokinetics (PK) in individuals with Pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE). PXE is a rare disease that is associated with significant risks of visual impairments and comorbidity from peripheral and cardiovascular diseases, and adversely impacts the quality of life in afflicted individuals.
Pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE) is a rare, autosomal recessive genetic disease characterized by progressive calcification and fragmentation of elastic fibers in connective tissues. PXE primarily affect the skin, retina and arterial walls. Given the age of onset and progression of the disease, the consequences of PXE affect a large number of patients of working age and are therefore likely to have an impact on their professional career and job retention. To our knowledge, there are no studies on the occupational impact of PXE.
The purpose of this prospective study is to characterize the natural history of ENPP1 Deficiency (including Generalized Arterial Calcification of Infancy Type 1 [GACI] and Autosomal Recessive Hypophosphatemic Rickets Type 2 [ARHR2]) and the early-onset form of ABCC6 Deficiency (Generalized Arterial Calcification of Infancy Type 2 [GACI-2]) longitudinally.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics PD) of multiple ascending doses of INZ-701, an ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase 1 (ENPP1) recombinant fusion protein, for the treatment of ABCC6 Deficiency. The goal of the study is to identify a dose regimen for further clinical development in the treatment of ABCC6 Deficiency.
This PXE biomarker study aims to characterize the levels of inorganic pyrophosphate (PPi), pyridoxal 5´-phosphate (PLP), and other biomarkers relevant to PXE and ectopic calcification in both PXE patients and their biological siblings who are PXE carriers or normal non-PXE individuals.
Pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE) is a rare inherited metabolic disorder (OMIM 264800, frequency 1/25000) characterized by progressive ectopic calcification of connective tissues. PXE mainly affects the skin (inesthetic papules and plaques in the skin folds), the retina (central blindness), the vasculature (peripheral arterial occlusive disease and stroke) and the renal system (renal lithiasis) in adulthood. Although rarely, early lethal forms have been reported. This chronic and highly disabling condition results from a loss of function of the gene encoding for the ABCC6 membrane transporter primarily expressed in the hepatocytes and renal tubular cells. Recently, it has been reported that PXE was characterized by a 50-60% decrease in the plasma level of inorganic pyrophosphate (PPi), a major physiological anti-calcifying factor. PXE is an incurable disease which therapeutic options are limited to symptomatic treatments to stem the devastating effect of the ectopic calcifications. Recently, encouraging proof of concept studies with animals PXE models and healthy volunteers have shown that, contrary to what was initially reported and thought, the oral administration of PPi salts are able to increase PPi plasma levels, opening up new therapeutic perspectives in PXE. Therefore, we propose to perform the first Phase II randomized controlled trial (RCT) to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a daily and oral administration of PPi salts against placebo in PXE patients.
