Effects of Vaginal Oxytocin Gel on Vaginal Cytologic Parameters in Postmenopausal Woman
Vaginal AtrophyOxytocin Gel2 moreVulvovaginal atrophy affects around 90% of postmenopausal women who may present with symptoms such as dryness, irritation, itching, burning, and dyspareunia that negatively affect the quality of life. Topical estrogen is recommended for the treatment of vulvovaginal atrophy in postmenopausal women and the FDA approved it. But it may increase the risk of breast and endometrial cancer. The oxytocin hormone also promotes positive social behavior, stress regulation, and female sexual arousal. Many previous studies show that topical oxytocin is useful for reducing vaginal atrophy in postmenopausal women.
Observational Study in Multiple System Atrophy
Multiple System AtrophyTalisman is global clinical study (20058N) in Multiple System Atrophy (MSA) patients. It will be conducted in two regions (China and the European Union [EU]). There will be common study objectives between China and EU regions (including prospective assessments for MSA disease progression during routine clinical visits for MSA), and this will allow for data (on common objectives) to be presented overall and stratified by region. There will also be study objectives specific to each region: 1) the clinical assessment for MSA (Unified MSA Rating Scale [UMSARS]) has not been validated using standardised methods in China, and so the psychometric properties of the Chinese version of the UMSARS will be examined in Chinese patients in this study; 2) there will be retrospective assessments and prospective protocol-mandated assessments (of Magnetic Resonance Imaging [MRI] and bloods biomarkers) and study visits for EU patients. Because some study objectives are the same for China and the EU (i.e., prospective assessments during routine clinical visits for MSA), and other objectives are specific to each region, there will be one regional protocol for China and one regional protocol for the EU; each describing the study assessments relevant to each region.
Long-term Follow-up of Phase 1 Clinical Trial of CS10BR05(CS10BR05-MSA101)
Multiple System AtrophyThe study purpose is conducting follow-up surveillance for the incidence of adverse events and efficacy of subjects participated in phase 1 trial to evaluate the safety and tolerability of autologous bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (CS10BR05) in subjects with Multiple System Atrophy until 60 months from administering investigational product (IP).
Trial of Essential Amino Acid Supplementation in Protein Deficient Patients Following Total Knee...
Quad AtrophyThe goal of this trial is to assess the efficacy of essential amino acids (EAA) on muscle atrophy and malnutrition compared to a placebo in patients following a total knee arthroplasty. The investigators specific objectives included analysis of (1) muscle strength, (2) change in malnutrition, (3) perioperative complications (4) physical activity.
Effect of Low-Dose Celecoxib on SMN2 in Patients With Spinal Muscular Atrophy
Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA)Several factors make the use of celecoxib in human SMA patients appealing including: 1) low-dosing required for potential therapeutic effect (the corresponding dose in humans is much lower than that commonly used in adults and children with; 2) favourable side effect profile of this drug (particularly at the dosing required); 3) the fact that celecoxib crosses the blood brain barrier and 4) demonstration of efficacy in a genetically and pathophysiologically faithful animal mode. The investigators therefore believe that celecoxib is a promising disease modifying therapy for SMA.
A Study to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of Nusinersen (ISIS 396443) in Infants With Spinal Muscular...
Spinal Muscular AtrophyThe primary objective of the study is to examine the clinical efficacy of nusinersen (ISIS 396443) administered intrathecally (IT) to participants with infantile-onset with infantile-onset spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). The secondary objective of the study is to examine the safety and tolerability of nusinersen administered intrathecally to participants with infantile-onset SMA.
Sexual Penetration Pain in Postmenopausal Women: A Topical Botanical Drug Treatment
Sexual Pain DisordersPostmenopausal Symptoms9 moreThis study will evaluate the use of topical 5 or 10% sinecatechins, a botanical drug derived from green tea for the alleviation of sexual pain in the area around the vaginal opening (the vulvar vestibule), that is a main source of pain during sexual contact or dyspareunia, in postmenopausal women, with vulvovaginal atrophy. Women may or may not be using estrogens. Half of the women will receive the study drug, 5 or 10% sinecatechins and half will receive placebo. In addition to the reduction or elimination of pain upon penetration, women may also experience increase in lubrication, arousal and intensity of orgasm
Spinraza in Adult Spinal Muscular Atrophy
Spinal Muscular AtrophySpinal Muscular Atrophy Type II1 moreThis is a longitudinal, observational study of adult patients with genetically confirmed chromosome 5q SMA to examine the safety, tolerability, and effectiveness of SPINRAZA® (nusinersen) for up to 30 months.
