Home-based Complex Intervention for Children With Ataxia Telangiectasia

Ataxia Telangiectasia in ChildrenAtaxia Telangiectasia

Ataxia telangiectasia is a rare, genetic and progressive condition with no known cure. Therapies present a mainstream management option and have the potential to offer optimisation of fitness and general health. This pilot RCT aims to explore the effectiveness, feasibility, and acceptability of a co-produced home-based complex exercise intervention for children with ataxia telangiectasia. The study was designed through broad consultation with a collaborative of children and young people with A-T including family members, therapists, clinicians and researchers, called the A-Team collaborative (https://osf.io/edzn3/)

N-Acetyl-L-Leucine for Ataxia-Telangiectasia (A-T)

Ataxia TelangiectasiaLouis Bar Syndrome

This is a multinational, multicenter, open-label, rater-blinded prospective Phase II study which will assess the safety and efficacy of N-Acetyl-L-Leucine (IB1001) for the treatment of Ataxia-Telangiectasia (A-T). There are two phases to this study: the Parent Study, and the Extension Phase. The Parent Study evaluates the safety and efficacy of N-Acetyl-L-Leucine (IB1001) for the symptomatic treatment of A-T. The Extension Phase evaluates the long-term safety and efficacy of IB1001 for the neuroprotective, disease-modifying treatment of A-T.

Whole Body MRI for Cancer Surveillance in A-T

Ataxia Telangiectasia

Ataxia Telangiectasia (A-T) is an inherited disorder characterised by cerebellar neurodegeneration, immunodeficiency and respiratory disease. People with A-T have abnormal DNA repair and consequently have an increased risk of cancer. Despite this, current guidelines for management of children and young people with A-T do not include cancer surveillance. Improvements in MRI technology have allowed whole-body MRI (WB-MRI) scanning with relatively short acquisition times. Currently, WB-MRI protocols are used for diagnosing and monitoring some primary and secondary cancers, including cancer surveillance in people with the Li-Fraumeni syndrome, which is another genetic cancer predisposition syndrome. Therefore, the research team believe that whole-body MRI provides a safe method for cancer surveillance in children and young people with A-T. However, the investigators do not know whether cancer surveillance in children and young people with A-T using whole-body MRI is feasible and desirable. The research team proposes a feasibility study of MRI-based cancer surveillance with qualitative evaluation of participant experience with the primary aim to establish: feasibility of whole-body MRI for cancer surveillance in children and young people with A-T views of, and psychological impact on, participants and families / carers participating in whole-body MRI for cancer surveillance. feasibility of conducting a formal screening trial in terms of statistical design, sample size, screening interval, comparator arms and international collaboration Completion of this study will provide us with evidence of technical feasibility, very strong evidence of child / family views, a viable formal screening trial design and an engaged international research community, allowing us to proceed to a formal trial establishing the efficacy of a cancer surveillance programme for children and young people with A-T.

Rare DisordersUndiagnosed Disorders316 more

CoRDS, or the Coordination of Rare Diseases at Sanford, is based at Sanford Research in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. It provides researchers with a centralized, international patient registry for all rare diseases. This program allows patients and researchers to connect as easily as possible to help advance treatments and cures for rare diseases. The CoRDS team works with patient advocacy groups, individuals and researchers to help in the advancement of research in over 7,000 rare diseases. The registry is free for patients to enroll and researchers to access. Visit sanfordresearch.org/CoRDS to enroll.

EDS in Ataxia Telangiectasia Patients

Nervous System DiseaseGenetic Syndrome

This is an international, multi-center, one-year, randomized, prospective, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase III study, designed to assess the effect of two non-overlapping dose ranges of EDS EP, administered by IV infusion once per month, on neurological symptoms of patients with Ataxia Telangiectasia.

Amantadine for Improving Neurologic Symptoms in Ataxia-Telangiectasia

AtaxiaChorea3 more

Ataxia-Telangiectasia A-T is a neurodegenerative disorder of the cerebellum, manifesting with ataxia, as well as extrapyramidal features. Treatment of A-T is discouraging, since no treatment seems to change the course of disease, but improvement can be achieved by symptomatic treatment of the bothersome movement disorder . While various dopaminergic agents are occasionally used, reports of benefit are rather sparse and anecdotal. Amantadine, a well known drug used in influenza as well as movement disorder of Parkinson, has been proved to improve various other types of movement disorder as ataxia, chorea, dystonia, akinesia and attention span. The purpose of this study is to investigate weather amantadine sulphate improves ataxia and the movement disorder (bradykinesia, parkinsonism, dystonia, chorea), as well as the general well being in patients with A-T.

Response of Individuals With Ataxia-Telangiectasia to Metformin and Pioglitazone

Ataxia-Telangiectasia

This study aims to investigate the link between the Ataxia Telangiectasia Mutated (ATM) gene and metformin response. This link has been identified from large studies of the human genome, and this study aims to confirm this link in a clinical study. The ATM gene is involved in DNA repair - if a person inherits a "faulty" copy of this gene from both their parents, they have a genetic condition called Ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T). A-T is associated with, among other things, a resistance to insulin, which causes fatty liver and diabetes. This study will recruit people who have A-T, but have not developed diabetes, and compare this group to "healthy" controls, i.e. people who do not have A-T or diabetes. The study will compare how the groups respond to two drugs used to treat diabetes (metformin and pioglitazone), with the intention that this will guide the management of diabetes in A-T. This is an, open label unblinded study recruiting 15 people with A-T and 15 age and gender matched controls. Each participant will have three study visits to the Clinical Research Centre at Ninewells hospital in Dundee - one at baseline, a second after 8 weeks of metformin and the final visit after eight weeks of pioglitazone. During each visit we will carry out a number of investigations to study the insulin resistance of A-T and how it responds to metformin and pioglitazone.
