Active clinical trials for "Atrophy"

This is a randomized controlled parallel Group phase I study to investigate the safety and immunological/ therapeutic activity of two new vaccines, AFFITOPE® PD01A and AFFITOPE® PD03A, given to patients with early Multiple System Atrophy (MSA). In total 30 patients are planned to be enrolled in the study: 12 patients in each treatment arm who will receive either 75µg AFFITOPE® PD01A (with adjuvant) or 75µg AFFITOPE® PD03A (with adjuvant) and 6 patients in the control group who will receive the reference substance (Placebo). Over a study duration of 52 weeks, the study participants will receive 4 injections as basic immunization in a 4-weekly interval and 1 boost immunization 36 weeks after the first injection. Male and female patients aged 30 to 75 years can participate in the trial. 2 study sites in France (Bordeaux and Toulouse) will be involved. AFF009 is part of the project SYMPATH funded by the European Commission (FP7-HEALTH-2013-INNOVATION-1 project; N° HEALTH-F4-2013-602999).

To test the clinical effect of rasagiline on subjects with MSA of the parkinsonian subtype.

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and tolerability of multiple doses of RN6G in subjects with advanced dry, age-related macular degeneration including geographic atrophy.

In this single-center trial, we will evaluate the effects of NaPB on presymptomatic Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) type I (cohort 1)and presymptomatic SMA type II (cohort 2) infants. A variety of outcome measures will be performed at each study visit to follow the course of the disease. Total duration of the study for type I infants will be 18 months, for type II infants, 24 months.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether Growth hormon can increase strength in spinal muscular atrophy type II and III.

The objectives of this trial are: to establish a safety profile for use of Hydroxyurea in children with Type I Spinal Muscular Atrophy; to identify reliable outcome measures for HU treatment in Type I SMA; and to detect the clinical efficacy of HU treatment in children with Type I SMA.

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of ospemifene in postmenopausal women experiencing moderate to severe vaginal dryness and vaginal pain associated with sexual activity.

The effect of whole body vibration (WBV) on bone strength and fall frequency in older adults is still vague. Although there is some evidence that WBV may impact Bone Mineral Density in very frail elderly, there is a lack of data concerning the effect of WBV in community-living elderly woman. We hypothesize that WBV significantly affects bone parameters as assessed by DXA, QCT, US and bone markers with parallel positive changes of fall related risk factors (power, strength, balance, and reaction time). We further hypothesize that the effects of WBV were superior to conventional resistance exercise.

Othera Pharmaceuticals' Othera (OT)-551 antioxidant eye drop has the potential for chronic treatment of the dry form of age-related macular degeneration. This pilot study of up to 10 eye drop tolerant participants with bilateral geographic atrophy is designed to characterize the effect of 0.45% concentration of OT-551 eye drops given 3 times a day on the progression of geographic atrophy area over a two-year period. Participants will have one eye randomized to receive the eye drop and the fellow eye will be observed only.

This is a four-arm, randomized, double-blind, parallel group, placebo-controlled study to compare the effects of two doses of DR-2041(Synthetic Conjugated Estrogens, A) Vaginal Cream on vulvovaginal atrophy in postmenopausal women with or without a hysterectomy and/or oophorectomy.
