Active clinical trials for "Polyneuropathies"

Over the last years a rising medical need for treatment of chronic pain was identified. Based on previous findings indicating the pain modulating effects of cannabinoids in chronic pain disorders, this clinical trial investigates the efficacy and tolerability of the THC-focused nano endocannabinoid system modulator AP707 in patients with pain disorders due to diabetic polyneuropathy. Patients receive AP707 or placebo over the course of 14 weeks as an add-on to the standard of care. Changes in pain intensity, quality of life and sleep and others measures are monitored through different scales to assess the efficacy of AP707 in patients with chronic pain due to diabetic polyneuropathy.

Based on previous findings indicating the pain modulating effects of cannabinoids in chronic pain disorders, this clinical trial investigates the long term efficacy and tolerability of the THC-focused nano endocannabinoid system modulator AP707 in patients with pain disorders due to diabetic polyneuropathy. Patients receive AP707 or placebo over the course of 14 weeks as an add-on to the standard of care.

Diabetic neuropathy (DN) is the most common complication of diabetes, affecting almost 50% of people with diabetes over the course of their lives. Symptoms vary from numbness to burning, aching and hypersensitivity in the lower limbs, indicative of sensory nerve loss. Motor neurons can also be affected, leading to muscle weakness and mobility issues, thus preventing patients from engaging in daily routines. Further sequelae include foot ulceration and Charcot neuroarthropathy, which are risk factors for lower limb amputation and mortality. In the United Kingdom, the annual costs of DN alone exceed £300 million, with further complications expected to cost an additional £1 billion. Currently, management strategies for DN focus on prevention and pain management. Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) is a novel nonpharmacological intervention for people with DN. NMES is the application of electrical impulses which are of sufficiency intensity to improve artificial contraction of the muscle tissue and may help with DN by improving nerve conductivity through direct stimulation of the nerves.

This study will provide further insights into the natural course of the disease about Immune-Mediated Neuropathies including clinical features，progression, related antibody spectrum and drug treatment effect.

The pHeNIx study, a national multicentre prospective non-interventional study, should help to describe the conditions of use for Hizentra® and the methods for switching from the IV to SC route in everyday practice, together with the tolerability and efficacy of treatment, which is monitored using a patient application (PRO: Patient-Reported Outcomes).

This study will assess the serum NT-3 levels in individuals with the diagnosis of peripheral neuropathy or any type of Charcot-Marie-Tooth Neuropathy (CMT) and correlate this with function.

This study aims to evaluate the safety, tolerance, pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics and efficacy of SYHA1402 tablets for the treatment of patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) in China.

CIDP is a heterogeneous disease with variable responses to therapy. Recently, a distinctive subgroup of patients with serum autoantibodies to the paranodal proteins contactin and neurofascin have been identified. Although they present with active and serious disease, multiple clinical reports suggest that these patients can be cured with a treatment that depletes B cells and presumably eliminates pathogenic autoantibodies. However, beyond that subgroup of CIDP patients, which CIDP patients might benefit from Rituximab and B cell depletion is unknown. This Phase II study will treat 3 homogenous groups of 16 CIDP patients each with Rituximab in order to determine if there are subgroups that can be taken off current medications and put into long-term remission. The results from this study will be used to design a future larger trial. Biomarkers including paranodal antibodies, serum neurofilament light chains, anti-ganglioside antibodies will be obtained in order to learn about disease pathogenesis and possibly target therapy

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about daratumumab and hyaluronidase-fihj in patients with monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significant (MGUS) who have been diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy suspected to be cause by paraproteinemia. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: • how well does this medication help improve MGUS associated peripheral neuropathy Participants will be asked be asked to get some testing done prior to starting the trial in order for us to assess your nerve damage or peripheral neuropathy. This will include blood tests, a complete neurologic examination, surveys and tests called electromyogram and nerve conduction studies. Participants that qualify for the trial will take DARZALEX FASPRO® once a week for two months, followed by every other week from months 3 to month 6.

This study will be conducted to investigate the relationship between glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and nerve conduction studies (NCS) with gait performance in patients with DPN. 65 patients with type II DM with moderate polyneuropathy will participate in this study. Glycosylated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) test will be done for each patient by using the Colorimeter device. Nerve conduction studies (NCS) will be performed for each patient by using the electromyography device to confirm the diagnosis of DPN. The neurophysiological functions of peripheral nerves including (The Common peroneal, Tibial, Sural, and Ulnar motor & sensory branches) will be measured. Spatiotemporal gait parameters (stride length, cadence& velocity) for all the patients will be assessed by two-dimension video-based motion analysis (2D).
