This study is designed to assess the efficacy and safety of AT-007 treatment in patients with SORD Deficiency. This randomized, double-blind study will assess the effect of AT-007 compared to Placebo in SORD Deficiency patients for 24 months.
This is safety study. Subjects will be undergoing the surgical procedure of nerve biopsy. After routine surgery without grafting, patients develop swelling, redness, tenderness and dysesthesia at the biopsy site. In order to determine whether grafting is safe compared to not repairing the nerve, it is necessary to compare treated vs. untreated patients using systematic, sensitive and reproducible criteria.
The purpose of this study is to learn about focal compressive median neuropathy at the wrist (Carpal Tunnel Syndrome) and outcomes of therapies (e.g. conservative and surgery) in the upper extremities of patients diagnosed with an inherited neuropathy. All patients enrolled in the Rare Diseases Clinical Research Network (RDCRN) Inherited Neuropathies Consortium (INC) Contact Registry who have marked one of the following disorders: CMT1A, CMT1B, CMT2A, CMT4, CMTX, other known CMT peripheral neuropathy, other unknown CMT peripheral neuropathy, or Hereditary Neuropathy with liability to Pressure Palsies (HNPP), will be invited via email to participate in this online study.
This is a parallel arm non-randomized dose-escalation, open-label basket exploratory phase 1 clinical trial where Mitochondrial encephalopathy, lactic acidosis, stroke-like episodes (MELAS) and Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy-Plus (LHON-Plus) participants will undergo simultaneous enrollment in two disease-based arms and receive daily oral doses of glycerol tributyrate to assess its safety and potential for efficacy using clinical, biochemical, and molecular evidence. This study will utilize a two-month baseline lead-in phase to establish and document the clinical baseline for each participant in both arms in order to compare the molecular and clinical parameters. This is clinically relevant in light of the high clinical heterogeneity among subjects affected by the same mitochondrial disease (MELAS or LHON-Plus). For ethical concerns prompted by the lack of treatment for these two intractable and progressive mitochondrial diseases, there will not be a placebo control group. Thus, each participant will act as their own control and receive oral doses of glycerol tributyrate, eliminating the need for a placebo. Considering the high clinical heterogeneity among participants affected by MELAS or LHON-Plus and some clinical divergence between MELAS and LHON-Plus, this strategy is beneficial to every enrolled participants, as each will receive the investigational drug, glycerol tributyrate. In addition, this approach will determine the subject-specific maximal optimized dose in a personalized medicine-based approach. After approval of the IRB protocol from the Institutional Review Board Data and signed consent form from all participants, this investigational basket clinical trial has three phases spanning over 20 months: * A baseline lead-in phase (2 months) to collect participant-specific baseline for clinical, biochemical, molecular and metabolic biomarkers that will be monitored throughout the subsequent dose-escalation and clinical phases. * A dose-escalation phase (6 months) to determine the participant-specific maximum tolerated dose (MTD) during which participant-specific clinical and biochemical biomarkers are collected every month. * A clinical phase at a fixed subject-specific MTD dose (12 months) to collect participant-specific clinical, biochemical, molecular and metabolic biomarkers and to perform three scheduled skin biopsies: at the outset, mid-point, and the end of this clinucal phase. We have planned for a 12-month-long clinical phase at a fixed participant-specific MTD considering the absence of reliable predictors that makes idiosyncratic disease-specific symptoms for MELAS and LHON-Plus impossible to forecast among participant for assessing the potential efficacy of glycerol tributyrate by monitoring clinical symptoms specific for each disease. During the 12-month-long time-frame, disease-specific clinical symptoms will be collected as preliminary evidence of efficacy of glycerol tributyrate using disease-specific biomarkers. Finally, discharge procedure during which the clinical investigator will record non-serious adverse events or serious adverse events for 7 or 30 days, respectively, after the last day of study participation.

Expanded access Protocol to treat LHON subjects with EPI743
The study is a dose-escalation study, phase 1. The objective of this proposed clinical trial is to evaluate the safety of mitochondrially targeted ND4 gene therapy with the adeno-associated viral vector in appropriate LHON patients.
In hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy type 1 (HSAN1) the investigators recently discovered the accumulation of two neurotoxic sphingolipids. It appears that these lipids arise as the mutant enzyme has a reduced affinity for its normal preferred substrate L-serine. The investigators now plan to perform a two year study of L-serine supplementation to correct the biochemistry and neurological disease in humans with HSAN1. In the course the investigators will also establish correlations between an existing neurological rating scale of sensory neuropathy and intraepidermal nerve fiber density. Funding Source - FDA OOPD

This is an open-label, dose escalation, safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetic study, where active study drug (QPI-1007) will be given to all patients who participate. This study will determine whether QPI-1007 is safe when it is injected into the eye. The study will also reveal if there are any side effects of the drug and how long it takes for the body to clear the drug.
The purpose of this research study is to create and validate two patient reported outcome (PRO) questionnaires. PRO questionnaires ask questions that help to measure disability in patients with inherited neuropathies. These questionnaires ask questions about what participants think disability is for themselves or others with inherited neuropathies. These questionnaires are a useful tool when evaluating whether treatments are working in the day to day life of an individual, although there are currently no questionnaires available specifically for people who have Charcot Marie Tooth disease (CMT).
The study will collect clinical information from patients with FD and allow them to give blood to help develop biological markers of the disease to aid diagnosis and treatment. This is a non-invasive, non-interventional, observation study that poses only minimal risk for participants. The study will document the clinical features of patients with FD overtime by storing their routine clinical test results in a central database. The study will involve collaborators at other specialist clinics around the world who follow/evaluate patients with FD annually. Providing blood for future use is optional.
Charcot-Marie-Tooth 4J (CMT4J) is a rare inherited peripheral neuropathy often characterized by rapidly progressive, asymmetrical upper and lower extremity weakness, muscle atrophy leading to loss of ambulation, respiratory compromise and premature death with no available treatment. The purpose of this study is to investigate the clinical characteristics and natural clinical progression of symptoms in individuals with CMT4J. This natural history study is important to better understand disease course to be able to determine clinically meaningful outcome measures for use in future clinical trials.
The purpose of this study is to identify the issues that have greatest impact on QOL for patients with Charcot Marie Tooth (CMT) Disease. Patients who have -registered in the Inherited Neuropathies Consortium Contact Registry will be invited to participate.
