Tuberous SclerosisLymphangioleiomyomatosisThe purpose of this study was to determine if rapamycin reduced angiomyolipomata volume in patients with tuberous sclerosis complex or lam.
Early Behavioral Intervention to Improve Social Communication Function in Infants With Tuberous...
Tuberous Sclerosis ComplexThe investigators are running an intervention study for young children with Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC). The study will include free play-based behavioral intervention that may improve social and communication skills in children with TSC. Eligible families will have a child in the age range of 12-36 months, with a diagnosis of TSC. A parent must also be available to attend the weekly intervention sessions at UCLA. The intervention will focus on teaching caregivers skills to improve the social and communication outcomes of their children. The content of the intervention will be individually tailored to the child's developmental level. The intervention involves pre-assessments, an intervention period of daily 60 minute sessions for 10 days, followed by weekly 60 minute sessions for 10 weeks, and post-assessments. The classroom can have up to 3 parent-child dyad and the curriculum focuses on improving social-communication and play skills.
Turmeric as Treatment in Epilepsy
EpilepsyDravet Syndrome3 moreThis is a single center open-label pilot clinical trial of patients 1-70 years of age with greater than 6 seizures per month diagnosed with Dravet Syndrome, Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome, Tuberous Sclerosis, or focal seizures. Twenty patients will be enrolled and treated with a stable dose of orally administered turmeric oil daily for 3 months. Patients and caregivers will be asked to keep a seizure diary logging all clinical events during the course of the study. Serum comprehensive metabolic panel, complete blood count with differential, and antiseizure medication levels, will be monitored at baseline, 1.5 months, and at the end of 3 months.
Topical Everolimus in Patients With Tuberous Sclerosis Complex
Facial AngiofibromasTuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is a rare genetic multisystem disorder characterized by the development of hamartomas in several organs (e.g. brain, heart, kidney, liver, lung), and skin in more than 90% of cases. Facial angiofibromas (FA), present in about 80% of patients, are a stigmatizing hallmark of the disease. Everolimus could be a candidate for use as a topical formulation to treat FA. This adaptive seamless Phase II/III study primary objective is to determine the dose of topical everolimus for treatment of FA and evaluate the efficacy and safety of topical everolimus versus placebo in patients with angiofibromas.
Preventing Epilepsy Using Vigabatrin In Infants With Tuberous Sclerosis Complex
Tuberous Sclerosis ComplexStudy design is a Phase IIb prospective multi-center, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind clinical trial. The goal will be to enroll 80 infants with Tuberous Sclerosis Complex who are less than 6 months of age prior to the onset of their first seizure
Stopping TSC Onset and Progression 2: Epilepsy Prevention in TSC Infants
Tuberous Sclerosis ComplexEpilepsyThis phase I/II clinical trial is an open-label clinical trial design to verify safety and dosing for TAVT-18 (sirolimus) powder for oral solution in TSC infants (N=5).
A Study of Everolimus in the Treatment of Neurocognitive Problems in Tuberous Sclerosis
Tuberous SclerosisThis is a single centre, two-arm, individually randomised, Phase II, double- blind, placebo-controlled trial of RAD001 (Everolimus) versus placebo in the treatment of neurocognitive problems in patients with tuberous sclerosis (TSC). The IMP is a licensed medicine in this patient group but for a different target of effect. The current trial is a proof of principle study for memory and executive function outcomes. Following an eligibility visit, patients will be scheduled for baseline visit and randomization. They will then be followed up for 6 months undergoing both safety and neurocognitive assessments whilst taking either the placebo or study drug. 48 patients aged 16 to 60 years with tuberous sclerosis (TSC) who have IQ > 60 and a significant deficit in one or more primary outcome measures will be randomly allocated in a ratio of 2:1 to either RAD001 (Everolimus) or Placebo.
Aspirin as an add-on Treatment of Refractory Epilepsy in Tuberous Sclerosis Complex
Tuberous Sclerosis ComplexAspirin3 moreThere had been much evidence in aspirin controlling tumorous conditions conducted by basic researches, especially through mammilian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway. The investigator observed efficacy of aspirin in the treatment of tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) in one child who got Kawasaki disease and in the addition four TSC patients with epilepsy. The investigator intend to evaluate whether aspirin would be an effective add-on treatment in TSC patients with refractory seizures.
Trial of Efficacy and Safety of Sirolimus in Tuberous Sclerosis and LAM
Tuberous SclerosisLymphangioleiomyomatosisThe purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of the mTOR inhibitor sirolimus as a treatment for renal angiomyolipomas in patients with tyberous sclerosis complex or sporadic lymphangioleiomyomatosis.
JASPER Early Intervention for Tuberous Sclerosis
Tuberous SclerosisThe investigators are running an intervention study for young children with Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC). The study will include free play-based behavioral intervention administered remotely that may improve social and communication skills in children with TSC. Eligible families will have a child in the age range of 12-36 months, with a diagnosis of TSC. Children with TSC below 12 months may be eligible for an early markers study prior to enrollment in the intervention trial. The intervention will focus on teaching caregivers skills to improve the social and communication outcomes of their children. The content of the intervention will be individually tailored to the child's developmental level. The intervention involves 4 on-site assessment visits, and 12 weekly intervention sessions, administered in-person and remotely. The intervention focuses on improving social-communication and play skills.
