Active clinical trials for "Supranuclear Palsy, Progressive"

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of davunetide for the treatment of Progressive Supranuclear Palsy.

The primary objective of the study is to obtain preliminary safety and tolerability data with davunetide (NAP, AL-108) in patients with a tauopathy (frontotemporal lobar degeneration [FTLD] with predicted tau pathology, corticobasal degeneration syndrome [CBS] or progressive supranuclear palsy [PSP]). The secondary objectives of this study are to obtain preliminary data on short term changes (at 12 weeks) in a variety of clinical, functional and biomarker measurements from baseline, including cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) tau levels, eye movements, and brain MRI measurements.

Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) is a relentlessly progressive neurodegenerative disorder, clinically characterized by parkinsonism with prominent axial involvement and postural instability, bulbar symptoms, supranuclear ophthalmoplegia, and executive dysfunction. Abnormal neuronal and glial tau aggregations affecting the basal ganglia and selective brainstem structures result in dysfunction of the five frontosubcortical circuits and brainstem functions. There is no effective treatment for PSP. One of the key feature in the aggregation of tau is its phosphorylation by kinases such as glycogen synthase kinase 3b (GSK3b). Recent reports have shown that valproic acid was able to inhibit the activity of GSK3b and could exert a neuroprotective effect through this inhibition. The investigators thus decided to conduct this controlled study to assess the putative neuroprotective effects in patients with PSP.

The investigators evaluate whether an aerobic, intensive, goal based and multidisciplinary rehabilitation treatment, previously conceived for Parkinson's disease, is effective for patients with progressive supranuclear palsy and whether a driven gait orthosis (Lokomat) can provide further benefits.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of multiple ascending intravenous infusions of BMS-986168 and to assess the pharmacokinetics and immunogenicity of BIIB092, and pharmacodynamics of BIIB092 on cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) extracellular tau (eTau) concentrations in participants with Progressive Supranuclear Palsy.

This study will evaluate the safety and tolerability (maximum tolerated dose (MTD) within the specified dosing range) of single intravenous (IV) infusion of C2N-8E12 in patients with progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP).

This study intends to study the safety and tolerance of the combination of pyruvate, creatine, and niacinamide over 6 months in patients with PSP.

The clinical syndrome of PSP responds poorly to all available forms of therapy used in Parkinson's Disease (PD). Currently, no effective treatment exists. Coenzyme Q10 in high doses has been shown to be a beneficial therapy in PD and might possibly be a beneficial therapy for PSP. This study will compare the efficacy, safety and tolerability of Coenzyme Q10 versus placebo in patients with atypical parkinsonian syndrome, progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP).

The purpose of this study is to assess the long-term safety and tolerability of ABBV-8E12 in subjects with progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP).

Objective of the study: To test the efficacy of theta burst cerebellar stimulation on postural instability in progressive supranuclear palsy using a cross-over design and wearing sensors technology Design: Twenty probable PSP patients with no dementia and still able to walk will be recruited for a cross-over sham-controlled study. Each patient will undergo a sham stimulation or a single session of cerebellar theta burst stimulation with a wash out period of at least 14 days. Each patient will be evaluated before and after stimulation by berg balance tests (BBS), Tinetti scale, PSP-rating scale (PSP-RS), and a battery of gait and movement tests. Static balance was assessed by 30-seconds-trials in semitandem and tandem positions with eyes open and closed using wearing sensors technology.
