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.
The study will consist of a prospective observation of subjects in a natural history design. The investigators will monitor changes of clinical scales, quality of life, messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) of candidate genes (CCL11, TNFSF14, FCGR3B, CLC, and SLA) (and their peptide products, when possible), and eotaxin and S100B serum levels, in order to determine which of them is (are) the most sensitive. Participants will be stratified in three groups: ataxic carriers, pre-ataxic carriers and non-carriers (controls).
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.
The study will consist of a prospective observation of subjects in a natural history design. Disease progression will be monitored through clinical scales and video-oculography. Participants will be stratified in three groups: ataxic carriers, pre-ataxic carriers and non-carriers (controls). The following clinical scales will be applied in all subjects at baseline and at months 12 and 24: SARA, SCAFI, CCFS, NESSCA, INAS and ICARS. Oculomotor function will be registered using video-oculography (EyeSeeCam, InterAcoustics) at the same time points. Progression rates, effect sizes and responsiveness to change will be established for all parameters and results will be compared between candidate biomarkers.
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).
