11 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The purpose of this study are: to characterize and understand the natural history of disease progression in WD and CESD, and to provide historical controls for WD and CESD for developing clinical treatment trials. The hypothesis is that the variability and clinical progression in WD and CESD is large and represents a continuum of severities from a lethal infantile to near normal adults with only "fatty livers".
This is an observational, multi-center, international disease registry designed to collect longitudinal data and create a knowledge base that will be utilized to improve the care and treatment of patients with LAL Deficiency. Participation in the Registry by both physicians and patients is voluntary.
This study evaluated the safety and efficacy of sebelipase alfa in a broad population of participants with lysosomal acid lipase deficiency (LAL-D).
This Phase 3 study evaluated the efficacy and safety of 1 milligram/kilogram (mg/kg) intravenous (IV) infusions of SBC-102 (sebelipase alfa) administered every other week (qow) in participants with late onset lysosomal acid lipase deficiency (LAL-D) (cholesteryl ester storage disease \[CESD\]). Late-onset LAL-D is an underappreciated cause of cirrhosis, liver failure and dyslipidemia. There is currently no standard treatment for LAL-D other than supportive care. Enzyme replacement therapy may be a potential new treatment option for LAL-D participants.
This is a Natural History study to characterize key aspects of the clinical course of late onset Lysosomal Acid Lipase (LAL) Deficiency/ Cholesteryl Ester Storage Disease (CESD).
This was an extension study to Study LAL-CL01 (NCT01307098). The primary objective of the study was to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of sebelipase alfa in participants with liver dysfunction due to lysosomal acid lipase (LAL) deficiency.
This was the first clinical study of SBC-102 (sebelipase alfa) for the treatment of Lysosomal Acid Lipase (LAL) Deficiency. It was an open-label dose escalation study in adult participants with liver dysfunction due to LAL Deficiency and was designed to examine 3 doses of sebelipase alfa. The targeted number for this study was 9 evaluable participants.
This was an open-label, repeat-dose, study of sebelipase alfa in infants with rapidly progressive lysosomal acid lipase deficiency (LAL-D). Eligible participants received once-weekly infusions of sebelipase alfa for up to 3 years.
This was an open-label, repeat-dose, intra-participant dose-escalation study of SBC-102 (sebelipase alfa) in children with growth failure due to lysosomal acid lipase (LAL) Deficiency. Eligible participants received once-weekly (qw) infusions of sebelipase alfa for up to 5 years.
ScreenPlus is a consented, multi-disorder pilot newborn screening program implemented in conjunction with the New York State Newborn Screening Program that provides families the option to have their newborn(s) screened for a panel of additional conditions. The study has three primary objectives: 1) define the analytic and clinical validity of multi-tiered screening assays for a flexible panel of disorders, 2) determine disease incidence in an ethnically diverse population, and 3) assess the impact of early diagnosis on health outcomes. Over a five-year period, ScreenPlus aims to screen 100,000 infants born in nine high birthrate, ethnically diverse pilot hospitals in New York for a flexible panel of 14 rare genetic disorders. This study will also involve an evaluation of the Ethical, Legal and Social issues pertaining to NBS for complex disorders, which will be done via online surveys that will be directed towards ScreenPlus parents who opt to participate and qualitative interviews with families of infants who are identified through ScreenPlus.
Early Check provides voluntary screening of newborns for a selected panel of conditions. The study has three main objectives: 1) develop and implement an approach to identify affected infants, 2) address the impact on infants and families who screen positive, and 3) evaluate the Early Check program. The Early Check screening will lead to earlier identification of newborns with rare health conditions in addition to providing important data on the implementation of this model program. Early diagnosis may result in health and development benefits for the newborns. Infants who have newborn screening in North Carolina will be eligible to participate, equating to over 120,000 eligible infants a year. Over 95% of participants are expected to screen negative. Newborns who screen positive and their parents are invited to additional research activities and services. Parents can enroll eligible newborns on the Early Check electronic Research Portal. Screening tests are conducted on residual blood from existing newborn screening dried blood spots. Confirmatory testing is provided free-of-charge for infants who screen positive, and carrier testing is provided to mothers of infants with fragile X. Affected newborns have a physical and developmental evaluation. Their parents have genetic counseling and are invited to participate in surveys and interviews. Ongoing evaluation of the program includes additional parent interviews.
