Filter by:PRIME-Ataxia is a randomized controlled trial that aims to determine the feasibility and efficacy of an 8-week telehealth intervention of high intensity aerobic exercise prior to balance training compared to an 8-week telehealth intervention of low intensity exercise prior to balance training in people with spinocerebellar ataxias (SCAs). The investigators additionally aim to explore changes in motor skill learning on a novel motor skill task in a sub-group of participants pre and post intervention.
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 2 study evaluating oral administration of CAD-1883 in the treatment of adults with a genotypic diagnosis of Spinocerebellar Ataxia (SCA). This study offers the opportunity to understand the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of CAD-1883 in the SCA patient population.
One of the main objectives of this project is to validate potential biological, clinical and/or imaging biomarkers in SCA patients through a multimodal assessment, for future ASOs trials.
This research study is testing body-worn sensors to measure movement during simple tests of coordination, in order to evaluate the progression and severity of ataxia.
Neurodegenerative cerebellar ataxias represent a group of disabling disorders which currently lack effective therapies. Cerebellar transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a non-invasive technique, which has been demonstrated to modulate cerebellar excitability and improve symptoms in patients with cerebellar ataxias. In this randomized, double-blind, sham-controlled study followed by an open-label phase, the investigators will evaluate whether a repetition of two-weeks' treatment with cerebellar anodal tDCS and spinal cathodal tDCS, after a three months interval, may further outlast clinical improvement in patients with neurodegenerative cerebellar ataxia and can modulate cerebello-motor connectivity, at short and long term.
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of Troriluzole (200mg once daily) versus placebo after 48 weeks of treatment in subjects with spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA).
24 adults, between the ages of 18 and 75 years, with cerebellar ataxia will be enrolled in a 12 week trial of BHV-4157 for treatment of ataxia. BHV-4157 is a pro-drug of riluzole (which is currently FDA-approved for ALS, Lou Gehrig's disease). There will be 5 visits to UCLA required--Screening when general and neurological examination, blood and urine testing, ECG, and questionnaires will be administered; Baseline when general and neurological examination and questionnaires will be administered and study drug dispensed; Week 4 and Week 12 when general and neurological examination, blood and urine testing, ECG, and questionnaires will be administered; 2 weeks after finishing study drug when general examination and blood testing will be completed. There is an option for a 36 week extension of the study drug trial.
The purpose of this study is verify the safety and efficacy of Human Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cells (UC-MSC) therapy for patients with Spinocerebellar Ataxia, and in addition, explore the possible mechanisms of UC-MSC therapy in Spinocerebellar Ataxia.
ATRIL is a multi-centric, double-blind randomized, two-arm controlled study. 42 SpinoCerebellar Ataxia type 2 (SCA2) patients, both gender, at least 18 years of age will be included. Riluzole 50 mg will be administered (per os) twice a day, versus one group with placebo for 12 months. Riluzole (Rilutek®) is a benzothiazole drug, market approved, for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). It delays the onset of ventilator-dependence or tracheostomy in selected patients and may increase survival. Scale for the Assessment and Rating of Ataxia (SARA) will be used at M0, M6 and M12. To assess primary criterion, the percentage of patients with a decrease of at least 1 point of the SARA score between the inclusion visit, and Visit 3 (Months 12) will be calculated.
