8 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
Open-label study of an investigational product (IP), QLS-101, with 28-day every morning (QAM) dosing to both eyes (OU) in adolescents with SWS who have clinical evidence of glaucoma and/or ocular hypertension (OHT) related to SWS elevated EVP in at least one eye.
Sturge Weber Syndrome (SWS) is a rare disease that affects the patient's brain and causes benign (non-cancerous) tumors to grow in the brain. One of the symptoms of SWS is epilepsy. People with epilepsy have seizures. Some patients may also have eye problems and a red mark on their facial skin. This study is being done to find out if the study drug, everolimus, is safe and has helpful effects in patients with SWS who have seizures and are not responding to their current anti-epileptic medication. The study drug, everolimus (Afinitor®), is supplied by Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation.
Sturge-Weber Syndrome (SWS) is a neurological disorder characterized at birth by seizures and a large port-wine stain birthmark on the forehead and upper eyelid of one side of the face. SWS is also accompanied by an increased pressure within the eye (glaucoma) which can develop very early in life. Glaucoma represents a group of ocular disorders that are characterized by the loss of retinal ganglion cells and their axons, damage to the optic nerve, and gradual loss of visual field. Recently, several studies provided evidence that there is a potential role of the immune system in the pathogenesis of glaucoma. These findings suggest that there might be changes in systemic humoral immunity possibly underlying the optic neuropathy in at least some glaucoma patients.
Safety and tolerability study of 2 concentrations of QLS-101 for adult subjects with Sturge Weber Syndrome (SWS)-related glaucoma due to elevated episcleral venous pressure (EVP).
The purpose of this study is to better understand the utility of cannabidiol (CBD/ Epidiolex) for improving the treatment of cognitive impairments in Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS).
The purpose of this research study is to gain a preliminary understanding of the safety of sirolimus in Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS) and determine best outcomes to be used to assess the utility of sirolimus for the treatment of cognitive impairments related to Sturge-Weber syndrome.
The purpose of this study is to determine the tolerability and optimal dose of cannabidiol (CBD) as an simultaneous treatment in children and young adults with Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS) and drug resistant epilepsy.
Primary Objective: • To assess the possible utility of topical timolol in the management of port-wine mark (PWM) in Sturge-Weber syndrome in children.
