Active clinical trials for "Botulism"

The purpose of this clinical trial is to gather information on the safety and effectiveness of botulinum toxin injection (or Botox) in the treatment of thumb joint pain/arthritis. People with thumb joint pain or arthritis usually receive steroid injections to help with the pain. However, this medicine does not always work well and also carries known important side effects. There is currently no alternative to this injection medicine. This clinical trial seeks to investigate botulinum toxin as a possible alternative to steroid injection. The difference between Botox and steroid injections is that they are different medicines and work in different ways. Botox, as it is being used in this study, is not FDA-approved. It is therefore considered an investigational medicine.

The purpose of this study is to verify the pediatric dosing recommendations for BAT product in pediatric patients that are treated with BAT product due to a confirmed or suspected case of botulism. A minimum of one serum sample should be collected but whenever feasible additional serum samples (up to three per enrolled participant) may be collected from the participant or obtained from surplus standard of care samples, if available, within 32 hours after BAT product administration. Safety of the BAT product will also be evaluated. Emergent will follow-up with the physician by telephone after 30 days post-BAT product administration to collect AEs, SAEs, and unanticipated events.

This is a Phase I, single-center, double-blind, placebo-controlled dose escalation trial of three dose cohorts (A: 0.033 mg/kg, B: 0.165 mg/kg, and C: 0.33 mg/kg). The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of NTM-1633 in healthy adults. This is a first-in-human study consisting of three cohorts of eight subjects each. Dosing for each cohort is as follows: Two sentinel subjects will be administered a single 1-hour infusion (one NTM-1633, one placebo). No more than two subjects per day thereafter (at least 24 hrs will elapse between the dosing of each two subjects) will be dosed in the same manner until all subjects are dosed. Dose escalation will not occur until safety data through Day 8 is reviewed by the Safety Review Committee (SRC). Objective dose-escalation criteria and safety evaluations will be utilized. The study duration will be for approximately 8 months. Subjects in Cohort A will participate for approximately 17 weeks and Subjects in Cohorts B and C will participate approximately 21 weeks. Primary Objective: To assess the safety and tolerability of escalating doses of NTM-1633 administered intravenously in healthy adults.

This is a phase I, single-center, placebo-controlled, double-blinded, dose escalation study of anti-botulinum toxin monoclonal antibodies in healthy adult volunteers. Volunteers will be hospitalized in the Johns Hopkins Phase 1 unit during the infusion and until after the 24-hour blood draw. Three escalating dose cohorts of a combination of three anti-botulinum monoclonal antibodies will be evaluated. Each cohort will consist of eight volunteers in which they will receive a single intravenous infusion of active drug or placebo. Placebo will be normal saline. Volunteers will be followed for safety for up to 120 days after infusion depending on dose cohort.

The primary purpose of this study is: To evaluate the model determined by the ability of botulism antitoxin (bivalent, Aventis) to neutralize Botulinum toxin in the Extensor Digitorum Brevis model of muscle paralysis in Stage A. To assess the ability of botulism antitoxin (heptavalent, Cangene) to neutralize Botulinum toxin in the Extensor Digitorum Brevis model of muscle paralysis in Stage B.

To establish a pilot randomized, crossover study on applying 2 constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) interventions in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy after botulinum toxin injection during preschool education.

This is a Phase I, randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled dose escalation trial to evaluate NTM-1632 in three dose cohorts (A: 0.033 mg/kg, B: 0.165 mg/kg, and C: 0.33 mg/kg). NTM-1632 is a mixture of three monoclonal antibodies designed to treat botulinum neurotoxin BoNT/B poisoning in adults. Dose cohorts A, B, and C will be randomized 2:6, placebo:therapeutic, with a total study population of 24. The study duration is projected to be approximately 8 months, with subject participation in cohort A being approximately 13 weeks, and subject participation in cohort B and C being approximately 17 weeks. The primary objectives of this study are to assess the safety and tolerability of escalating doses of NTM-1632 administered intravenously in healthy adults.

OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the safety of human botulism immune globulin (BIG) in patients with infant botulism by monitoring side effects (e.g., rash, fever, hypotension, and anaphylaxis). II. Assess the efficacy of BIG in these patients by monitoring disease severity, incidence of complications (respiratory arrest, aspiration, pneumonia, etc.), and length of hospital stay.

Study rBV A/B-CL-001 is a Phase 2b, 2-part, open-label, uncontrolled study to evaluate safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of a single dose of recombinant botulinum vaccine A/B (rBV A/B) for the production of BabyBIG in volunteers previously immunized with the pentavalent botulinum (PBT) toxoid. This study is designed to determine neutralizing antibody levels for botulinum toxin types A and B in healthy subjects who were previously immunized with the PBT for occupational protection and who receive the rBV A/B. Subjects with titers of the neutralizing antibodies against the toxins would be candidates for plasma donation for BabyBIG production.
