8 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
PRIME-Ataxia is a randomized controlled trial that aims to determine the feasibility and efficacy of an 8-week telehealth intervention of high intensity aerobic exercise prior to balance training compared to an 8-week telehealth intervention of low intensity exercise prior to balance training in people with spinocerebellar ataxias (SCAs). The investigators additionally aim to explore changes in motor skill learning on a novel motor skill task in a sub-group of participants pre and post intervention.
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 2 study evaluating oral administration of CAD-1883 in the treatment of adults with a genotypic diagnosis of Spinocerebellar Ataxia (SCA). This study offers the opportunity to understand the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of CAD-1883 in the SCA patient population.
This research study is testing body-worn sensors to measure movement during simple tests of coordination, in order to evaluate the progression and severity of ataxia.
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of Troriluzole (200 mg once daily) versus placebo after 48 weeks of treatment in subjects with spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA).
24 adults, between the ages of 18 and 75 years, with cerebellar ataxia will be enrolled in a 12 week trial of BHV-4157 for treatment of ataxia. BHV-4157 is a pro-drug of riluzole (which is currently FDA-approved for ALS, Lou Gehrig's disease). There will be 5 visits to UCLA required--Screening when general and neurological examination, blood and urine testing, ECG, and questionnaires will be administered; Baseline when general and neurological examination and questionnaires will be administered and study drug dispensed; Week 4 and Week 12 when general and neurological examination, blood and urine testing, ECG, and questionnaires will be administered; 2 weeks after finishing study drug when general examination and blood testing will be completed. There is an option for a 36 week extension of the study drug trial.
Investigators expect there will be improvement in walking speed and steadiness after taking Dalfampridine, thereby improving activities of daily living and enhancing social and occupational functions for patients with spinocerebellar ataxia.
Spinocerebellar ataxias (SCA) are genetic neurological diseases that cause imbalance, poor coordination, and speech difficulties. There are different kinds of SCA and this study will focus on types 1, 2,3, and 6 (SCA 1, SCA 2, SCA 3 , also known as Machado-Joseph disease and SCA 6). The diseases are rare, slowly progressive, cause increasingly severe neurological difficulties and are variable across and within genotypes. The purpose of this research study is to bring together a group of experts in the field of SCA for the purpose of learning more about the disease. The research questions are: 1. How does your disease progress over time? 2. What are the best ways to measure the progression? 3. Do some genes, other than the gene that is abnormal in your disease, have any effect on the way the disease behaves? This is a nationwide study and we expect that 800 patients will participate all over the USA. The participants will be in the study for an indeterminate period of time. Study visits will be done every 6 or 12 months depending on the participating site.
The primary purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of BHV-4157 (Troriluzole) 140 milligrams (mg) once daily versus placebo after 8 weeks of treatment in subjects with spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA).
