Summary: The objectives of this phase Ib study are to evaluate the efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and immunogenic profiles of B001 in subjects with aquaporin-4 antibody (AQP4-IgG) positive NMOSD.
Summary: Background: An assessment by paediatric neurologists specializing in demyelinating conditions brought attention to the rapid weight change seen among patients recently diagnosed with, and receiving therapy for, neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) and multiple sclerosis (MS). An overview of the current literature pinpointed weight change as a concern, and identified fatigue and fear as l...
Summary: This study is being conducted to investigate risk factors for disability progression in Multiple Sclerosis and related disorders (MSRD). The primary goal is to assess whether combining information from visual assessment, blood markers, as well as historical and ongoing longitudinal MRIs of the brain, orbit (the part of the skull where eyes are located), and/or spinal cord can predict changes in qu...
Summary: Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorders (NMOSD) is associated with a pathological humoral immune response against the aquaporin-4(AQP-4) water channel. Belimumab (Benlysta ®) is a human immunoglobulin G1λ monoclonal antibody that inhibits B-cell survival and differentiation by neutralizing soluble B lymphocyte stimulator. Belimumab may benefit some patients with NMOSD due to the important role of ...
Summary: This study will explore the expression of PARP-1 in optic neuritis of multiple sclerosis patients.~The data will be collected from Sohag University hospital in the period from the start of August 2021 to the end of December 2021.~The study protocol will be approved by the Scientific Research Ethical Committee, Faculty of Medicine, Sohag University.
Summary: A double-blind prospective randomized clinical trial of treatment for optic neuritis comparing visual outcome of patients treated by standard therapy (intravenous methylprednisolone) + placebo injection and standard therapy + retrobulbar methylprednisolone.
Summary: This is a Prospective, observational research study for patients with NMOSD under the care of a licensed neurologist. Approximately 800 patients and 35 clinical sites in North America will be recruited to participate with no defined upper limit for either target.
Summary: To evaluate the safety and tolerability of ACT-01 compared to placebo in patients with acute optic neuritis (AON) receiving the standard of care.
Summary: When patients arrive in the waiting room of the MRI department, patients will be given the briefing note explaining the purpose of the study and how it is going. During the consultation, the radiologist will check the inclusion and non-inclusion criteria, and will take the time to answer all of the patient's questions about the study. If the patient agrees to participate in the research, the inves...
Summary: Aims of this study are to observe the correlation between ABCB1、VDR、TBX21、NR3C1 and other gene polymorphisms and the effect of glucocorticoid shock therapy on neuromyelitis optica. Investigators plan to include patients with neuromyelitis optica who will receive glucocorticoid shock therapy prospectively. The patients are divided into glucocorticoid sensitive (GS) group and glucocorticoid resistan...
Summary: Antibody-mediated idiopathic inflammatory diseases of the nervous system (also known as autoimmune diseases of the nervous system) are autoimmune diseases in which autoimmune cells and immune molecules attack the nervous system as the main pathogenic mechanism. In the immune response, pathogenic antibodies acting on autoantigens of the nervous system are collectively referred to as autoantibodies ...
Summary: The visual prognosis of optic neuritis not related to multiple sclerosis is unknown, both in terms of functional recovery and evolution.~This prospective cohort study aim to assess the ophthalmological evolution of patients presenting an episode of optic neuritis (NO) not related to a multiple sclerosis or to a clinically isolated syndrome.
