Active clinical trials for "Cerebellar Ataxia"

The purpose of this study is to test the safety and preliminary efficacy of AAVrh.10hFXN to treat the cardiomyopathy associated with Friedreich's ataxia (FA). AAVrh.10hFXN is a serotype rh.10 adeno-associated virus gene transfer vector coding for Frataxin (FXN). The drug is administered intravenously. This is a phase 1, open label, dose escalation study with a total of 10 participants.

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.

The goal of this first-in-human clinical trial is to assess the safety and tolerability of four doses of a new study drug called VO659 in people with genetic disorders called spinocerebellar ataxia type 1, type 3 or Huntington's disease. Another aim is to determine the concentrations of the study drug in the cerebral spinal fluid and blood after single and multiple doses. Study drug will be administered by lumbar intrathecal bolus injections.

Spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) is a group of inherited brain disorders. SCA often result in poor limb coordination. This study aims to discover the effects of repeated transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on balance & gait in SCA. The hypothesis of this study is that rTMS might improve SCA limb functional performance.

The primary objective of this study is to assess the long-term safety of vatiquinone in participants with Friedreich ataxia (FA) previously exposed to vatiquinone in Study PTC743-NEU-003-FA (NCT04577352) or Study PTC743-NEU-005-FA.

This study will investigate the how the cerebellum is involved in speech motor learning over time and short-term corrections in patients with cerebellar ataxia and healthy controls. This will be accomplished through three approaches: behavioral studies, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). During behavioral studies, participants will be asked to speak into a microphone while their voice is played back over earphones, and to do other speaking tasks. MRI will be acquired to perform a detailed analysis on brain function and anatomy related to speech and the cerebellum. In healthy controls, TMS will also be performed to temporarily disrupt the cerebellum before, during, or after the participant performs speaking tasks. Patients with cerebellar ataxia and healthy volunteers will be asked to complete behavioral studies and/or MRI; healthy volunteers may be asked to additionally participate in TMS.

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 primary purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of BHV-4157 (Troriluzole) 140 milligrams (mg) once daily versus placebo after 8 weeks of treatment in subjects with spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA).

The aim of this study is to assess the efficacy of micronised resveratrol as a treatment for FRDA, in terms of reducing the severity of ataxia symptoms at 24 weeks, through a randomised blinded, placebo controlled crossover trial.

Engage-Ataxia will implement a physical activity coaching program for people with cerebellar ataxia at Teachers College, Columbia University. This program expands upon the current Engage program for people with Parkinson's disease (Engage-PD), an exercise coaching program for people with early stage Parkinson's disease to target individuals with early stage cerebellar ataxia. Engage-Ataxia will utilize a physical or occupational therapist to provide up to five one-on-one coaching sessions for individuals newly diagnosed with cerebellar ataxia. Therapists will work with participants to provide individualized structured support to facilitate and optimize exercise uptake as one part of comprehensive disease management. Participants will undertake two assessments three months apart, and will receive coaching interventions via Zoom healthcare platform. The primary objective of this program is to increase physical activity and exercise engagement in individuals with early stage cerebellar ataxia. This feasibility study will provide preliminary data and insight into the benefits of a remote coaching intervention for people with cerebellar ataxia.
