Active clinical trials for "Motor Neuron Disease"

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of Myobloc in ALS patients who are having excessive drooling. The primary goal of the study is to determine if the patient perceives a benefit from the Myobloc in controlling excessive drooling.

Satisfaction of patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis under non-invasive ventilation regarding home assisted teleconsultation

The aim of this study is to investigate the usability of the 1 Minute Sit to Stand Test (1 MSTS) in evaluating physical capacity and effort-related desaturation in individuals with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). In this context, patients diagnosed with ALS who meet the inclusion criteria will be included in the study. For the physical capacity assessment of patients with ALS at different ambulatory levels included in this study, a 6 minutes walking test (6 MWT) and a 1 MSTS will be applied. Before and at the end of the test, the severity of dyspnea and leg fatigue of the patients will be determined by the Modified Borg Scale; effort-induced desaturation and heart rate by fingertip pulse oximetry; peripheral muscle strength (for the quadriceps femoris muscle) will be evaluated with a hand held dynamometer. When the studies are examined, it has been determined that the 6 MWT is relatively difficult to tolerate in individuals with ALS, it may be difficult to provide the necessary space and equipment for the test, and a shorter, easy-to-apply, and practical evaluation method that can be used instead of this test in the clinic is needed. As a result of this study, the usability of the 1 MSTS in individuals with ambulatory ALS in evaluating physical capacity and desaturation due to effort will be revealed.

A multicenter phase I/II Clinical trial,randomized, controlled with placebo, triple blind to evaluate the safety of the intravenous administration of 3 doses of autologous mesenchymal stem cells cells from adipose tissue in patients with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS).

This is a single center, open label, 12-week study of inosine treatment. Inosine treatment leads to an increase in the levels of urate (uric acid) in the blood. The primary objective of the study is to determine the tolerability of oral administration of inosine. Secondary study objectives include the measurement of biomarkers of oxidative stress and damage in response to inosine treatment.

The primary objectives of Parts A and B of this study are to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of ascending doses of tofersen in adults with ALS and a documented superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) mutation. The primary objective of Part C of this study is to evaluate the clinical efficacy of tofersen administered to adults with ALS and a confirmed SOD1 mutation. The secondary objective of Parts A and B of this study is to evaluate the effects of tofersen on levels of total SOD1 protein in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). The secondary objectives of Part C are to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacodynamic (PD), and biomarker effects of tofersen.

This study evaluates the effect of retigabine (600 mg/day, 900 mg/day, or placebo) on motor neuron activity in people with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). The total study duration is approximately 14 weeks. ALS subjects will take study drug for approximately 10 weeks.

This is an open label study with 30-day run in phase to establish baseline parameters, 90-day treatment phase, and a 90-day withdrawal phase to determine long-term effects, duration of treatment response, and potential effects of EPI-589 therapy on known trajectory.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether Nuedexta is effective in the treatment of symptoms (impaired speech, swallowing, and saliva control)associated with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS).

ErmoSLA is a multicentric, randomized, controlled trial to compare effects of an "intensive" or "standard" motor rehabilitation treatment on motor disability in people with ALS
