Clinical Outcome Assessment for AT & BCI
Many individuals with severe motor impairments rely on Assistive Technologies (ATs) or Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) to interact with digital devices such as their computers. Clinicians and researchers currently lack a common framework to objectively quantify how much a given AT or BCI improves real-world function or to compare across tools. …
Mitochondrial Capacity Boost in ALS (MICABO-ALS) Trial
The purpose of this research is to investigate the validity of a previous clinical trial named EH301, which showed beneficial effects of anti-oxidant therapies in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). If validated by this study, providing over-the-counter anti-oxidants would be a simple, low risk, low-cost approach to significantly slow …
UAE-PRIME: A Feasibility Study of a Precise Robotically Implanted Brain-Computer Interface for the Control of External Devices
The UAE-PRIME Study is a feasibility study designed to assess the initial clinical safety and functionality of the Neuralink N1 Implant and R1 Robot. This study involves participants who have tetraparesis, tetraplegia, or a diagnosis that may lead to these conditions.The N1 Implant is a wireless, rechargeable device mounted on …
Virtual Peer-to-peer Support Programme for Carers of MND
Background/scope There is growing recognition that family caregiving is a serious public health issue requiring supportive interventions. Family caregivers play an essential role in sustaining a stable environment enabling individuals with motor neurone disease (MND) that are technology dependent to live at home. The family caregivers can experi¬ence exceptional burden …
A Phase 1, SAD and MAD Study to Evaluate the Safety and Tolerability of FB418
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of oral doses of FB418 in healthy adult subjects and healthy elderly subjects.
Interest of Measuring P2X4 Receptors on Blood Monocytes as a Diagnostic Marker in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis: P2X4 as a Diagnostic Biomarker for ALS
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is the most common form of motor neuron disease and is characterized by the degeneration of motor neurons leading to progressive paralysis and death within 3 to 5 years after diagnosis. To date, no key mechanism had been identified. Our associated laboratory has identified the P2X4 …
Spinal Cord Associative Plasticity for ALS
Veterans are at higher risk than non-Veterans of falling ill with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).The investigators have shown that synchronized stimulation over the brain and cervical spinal cord can temporarily strengthen weakened nerve circuits between the brain and hand muscles in people with ALS.The current proposal will take the next …
Anticipated Patient and Caregiver Burden
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a degenerative neurological disease that causes progressive motor disability and is life threatening within a few years. The severity of the disease, the progressive loss of autonomy that leads to dependence on family and caregivers, and the lack of effective treatment sometimes leads patients to …
[18F]ACI-19626 PET in TDP-43 Proteinopathies
The goal of this clinical trial is to test whether we can reliably and safely measure the accumulation of pathological protein TDP-43 [involved in rare forms of dementia such as frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)] using a new positron emission tomography (PET) tracer called [18F]ACI-19626. Both …
Home Versus Hospital Based NIV Care in MND
Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) is commonly offered to people with Motor Neurone Disease (MND) who have breathing difficulties. It improves their quality of life and can prolong life by 6 months or more. It is initially used at night and typically set up during a hospital admission. By the time that …
