Summary: The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of multiple ascending doses of BIIB132 administered via intrathecal (IT) injection to participants with spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (SCA3). The secondary objective of this study is to characterize the multiple-dose pharmacokinetics (PK) of BIIB132 administered via IT injection to participants with SCA3.

Summary: Phase 2b/3 double blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial to assess safety and efficacy of SLS-005 (trehalose injection, 90.5 mg/mL for intravenous infusion) for the treatment of adults with spinocerebellar ataxia).

Summary: This is a longitudinal, triple-blind, randomized-controlled, prospective observational study assessing patients with cerebellar ataxia, including spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (SCA3) and multiple system atrophy-cerebellar type (MSA-C), to examine the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) for up to 3 months.

Summary: This study evaluates the effectiveness of oral trehalose in alleviating the neuropathological and motor behaviour deficits among patients with SCA3. A total of 40 participants with SCA3 will be recruited, with 20 participants to be administered with trehalose while another 20 participants to be administered with a maltose placebo.

Summary: CoRDS, or the Coordination of Rare Diseases at Sanford, is based at Sanford Research in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. It provides researchers with a centralized, international patient registry for all rare diseases. This program allows patients and researchers to connect as easily as possible to help advance treatments and cures for rare diseases. The CoRDS team works with patient advocacy groups, in...

Summary: 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 acro...

Summary: This research investigates how cognitive-affective aspects evolve during the course of SCA3/MJD. Due to COVID-19 pandemics, this study protocol was adapted for online-only consultations. Evaluations happening after March 2020 have been done by videocall with patients, and no neurological evaluation was thus performed on these patients. A scale on Activities of Daily Living was added to the online ...
