20 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The Phase 3 pivotal study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of RZ358 for the treatment of congenital hyperinsulinism (HI) as add-on to standard-of-care (SOC) therapy compared to SOC alone over 24 weeks and to evaluate the longer-term safety and efficacy of RZ358 during a subsequent open-label extension (OLE) period.
This study is designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and efficacy of HM15136 when used as add-on therapy in subjects with CHI with persistent hypoglycemia while on standard of care treatment (SoC). HM15136 will be administered once weekly in multiple doses to subjects in multiple age including pediatric to find appropriate exposure-response data.
The objective of this trial is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and glucose-raising effects of RZ358 in patients with Congenital Hyperinsulinism (HI).
The goal of this project is to determine the role of FDOPA/PET as a pre-operative diagnostic imaging procedure for differentiating focal and diffuse forms of congenital hyperinsulinism and locating focal lesions in the pancreas to guide surgical resection.
The objective of the trial is to evaluate the efficacy of dasiglucagon in reducing glucose requirements in children with persistent congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI) requiring continuous intravenous (IV) glucose administration to prevent/manage hypoglycemia.
This is an open-label, multinational, multicenter, long-term safety and efficacy extension trial in patients with Congenital Hyperinsulinism (CHI) who completed either ZP4207-17103 or ZP4207-17109 (defined as lead-in trials). The primary objective is to evaluate the long-term safety of dasiglucagon administered as subcutaneous (SC) infusion in children with CHI.
The objective of the trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of dasiglucagon administered as a subcutaneous (SC) infusion in reducing hypoglycemia in children with CHI.
This is a Phase 2, multi-center, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind trial with open-label follow-up designed to assess the efficacy of Xeris Glucagon delivered as a continuous subcutaneous infusion to prevent hypoglycemia with lower intravenous glucose infusion rates in children \< 1 year of age with congenital hyperinsulinism.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and clinical pharmacology of a single dose pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of XOMA 358 in subjects with hypoglycemia associated with congenital hyperinsulinism.
Low blood sugars are known to cause brain damage in newborn babies. One of the most common causes of low blood sugars persisting beyond the new born period is a condition called congenital hyperinsulinism (HI). This is a disease whereby the pancreas secretes too much insulin and causes low blood sugars. Twenty to forty percent of these babies will have brain damage. There are two forms of this disease. In one form only a small part of the pancreas makes too much insulin (focal HI) and in the other, the whole pancreas make too much insulin (diffuse HI). Another very similar disease is insulinoma which occurs after birth, but also causes hyperinsulinism. If a surgeon could know which part of the pancreas has the focal lesion he could remove it and cure the patient. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether a new investigational drug called Fluorodopa F 18, when used with a PET scan, can find the focal lesion and guide the surgeon to remove it, thus curing the patient and preventing further brain damage.
The purpose of this study is to determine if Exendin-(9-39), an antagonist of the glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor with effects on the pancreatic beta cell, increases fasting blood glucose levels in subjects with congenital hyperinsulinism.
Congenital hyperinsulinism is a rare condition that can cause life-threatening hypoglycemia. Current treatment for congenital hyperinsulinism is often suboptimal, and such individuals may respond to a new somatostatin analog, pasireotide. This is a compassionate use study of the effects of pasireotide on individuals with suboptimally treated congenital hyperinsulinism.
This purpose of this study is to determine the ability of an 18F-fluoro-L-dihydroxyphenylalanine (18F-DOPA) PET (Positron Emission Tomography) scan to detect a focal lesion of hyperinsulinism and determine the location in patients with congenital hyperinsulinism, Beckwith Wiedemann Syndrome and suspected insulinoma. Safety data will be collected.
Children with congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI) have low blood sugar, and some of these children may require surgery to remove part or all of their pancreas. In this study, researchers will test how well a radioactive drug, 18-labeled L-fluorodeoxyphenylalanine (called F-DOPA) can detect a form of hyperinsulinism (focal HI) that may be cured by surgery. Eligible participants in this study will have positron emission tomography/computerized tomography (PET/CT) scans with F-DOPA prior to surgery.
The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of exendin-(9-39) on fasting blood glucose and protein induced hypoglycemia on subjects with Congenital Hyperinsulinism. Funding Source - FDA Office of Orphan Products Development (OODP).
The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of Exendin (9-39) on glucose requirements to maintain euglycemia in pediatric patients with congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI) who have failed medical therapy. The secondary aims are to determine the therapeutic plasma levels, plasma half-life and pharmacokinetics of Exendin (9-39) during a 9-hour intravenous infusion.
Children with congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI) have low blood sugar, and some of these children may require surgery. In this study, researchers affiliated with the University of Pennsylvania will test how well a radioactive drug (called F-DOPA) can detect a form of hyperinsulinism that may be cured by surgery. Eligible participants in this study will have positron emission tomography (PET) scans with F-DOPA prior to surgery.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the utility of \[18F\]-DOPA PET to provide improved presurgical planning and distinguish between focal and diffuse forms of HI. The investigators will perform descriptive analysis, relying on visual analysis to diagnose and localize a focal lesion. Our findings will be compared to surgical histopathology to determine sensitivity and specificity or this technique. The investigators will also track patient surgical outcomes, specifically whether the patient is surgically "cured" or still requires medical management to control residual hypoglycemia.
Congenital Portosystemic Shunt (CPSS) is a rare condition important by the multiplicity and severity of associated complications. CPSS is venous anomaly in which blood coming from the intestines only partially passes through the liver. This leads to the accumulation of potentially toxic factors that cause systemic effects. Complications vary among the individuals, and currently, it is challenging to predict which individuals will develop severe complications. The IRCPSS registry is established with the aim of centralizing detailed clinical follow-up and biological information from participants around the world who suffer from Congenital Portosystemic Shunt (CPSS). A multidisciplinary consortium of experts is collaborating to enhance our understanding of the prevalence, natural history, individual risks, and physiopathology of the disease through the IRCPSS registry.
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.
