Active clinical trials for "Sclerosis"

Despite a number of prospective studies already initiated in the past years, the current epidemiology and course of interstitial lung disease (ILD) and pulmonary hypertension (PH) in patients with connective tissue disease (CTD) is still not well defined, particularly regarding its prevalence, incidence and the management of a broad spectrum of disease presentations. Major challenges include the identification of patients with progressive disease, the appropriate time point of therapeutic intervention and the underlying driver of disease (inflammatory or pro-fibrotic stimulus or both?). To address these issues in Western Austria, a progressive registry of patients with CTD exploring routine clinical and pathophysiological characteristics of ILD and PH will be conducted. This multidisciplinary, prospective and observational registry aims to collect comprehensive clinical data on incidence, prevalence and course of disease regarding all PH and ILD presentations in a real-world setting.

The aim of the research will be to compare periodontal status and level of antioxidants in unstimulated saliva of systemic sclerosis patients with periodontitis and systemically healthy periodontitis patients. Twenty systemic sclerosis patients with periodontitis (SS group) and twenty systemically healthy periodontitis patients (P group) will be enrolled in the present study. The results may indicate higher periodontal destruction and antioxidant perturbations in unstimulated saliva of systemic sclerosis patients with periodontitis compared to systemically healthy periodontitis patients.

The purpose of this study is to provide information on maternal, fetal, and infant outcomes following exposure of ozanimod during pregnancy so that participants and physicians can weigh the benefits and risks of exposure to the pharmaceutical during pregnancy and make informed treatment decisions.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the factors that influence the progression of patients with clinically isolated spinal cord syndrome to multiple sclerosis.

The goal of this study is to validate an MS Gait Remote Capture and Analysis (MS-GRCA) system based on wearable shoe-based motion sensors for home-based and repeatable gait assessments.

The primary objective of this study is to better understand the pathophysiological background of end-of-dose symptoms (EOD) and thereby determine the percentage of participants who develop EOD under natalizumab (NTZ) as an example of interval therapy in MS and to detect specific changes through multimodal analyses, including radiological, blood and digital health measurements, that may be used as potential biomarkers in the future to map EOD.

To date, two devices to measure nitric oxide lung diffusing capacity (DLNO) are commercially available in Europe. Previous research has shown systematic between-device differences in lung diffusing capacity outcomes in healthy people (Radtke et al. ERJ Open Res. 2021 Sep 13;7(3)). The extent and magnitude of between-device differences in people with lung function impairment and ventilation inhomogeneities is unknown.

iConquerMS™ is a research initiative developed by and for people with multiple sclerosis (MS) to contribute their health data and ideas to advance and accelerate research into MS.

The investigators' overall hypothesis is that appearance or worsening of relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RR-MS) symptoms are affected by various factors including stress, hormonal cycles, illness and missed medications.

We are the missing link in clinical trials, connecting patients and researchers seamlessly and conveniently using a mobile health platform to advance medical research. We make it easy for patients to contribute to research for medical conditions that matter most to them, regardless of their location or ability to travel.
