Friedreich Ataxia is a rare condition that causes damage to the nervous system and muscles. People with Friedreich Ataxia have difficulty walking, lose sensation in their arms and legs, and have slurred speech. It can also affect the heart and many people with Friedrich Ataxia develop serious heart problems. Friedreich Ataxia is a genetic condition which means a faulty gene is passed down through families. This type of gene therapy treats a genetic condition by providing a healthy copy of the gene. At the time this study started, there was no approved treatment for heart problems in people with Friedreich Ataxia. In this study, ASP2016 is being tested in humans for the first time. The people taking part are adults with Friedreich Ataxia who have heart problems. The main aims of the study are to check the safety of ASP2016 and how people cope with (tolerate) ASP2016. ASP2016 is given as a slow injection into a vein. This is called an infusion. People will also take tablets of a medicine called prednisolone. This is taken to stop the immune system interfering with ASP2016. Each person in the study will be given 1 single infusion of ASP2016. Different small groups will receive lower or higher doses of ASP2016. Each person will stay overnight in the clinic for at least 1 night after their infusion. For the first few months, people will visit the clinic regularly. There may be the option of home visits by a study nurse at some visits. At the 6-month and 12-month visits extra tests, procedures, and scans will be done. One of these is an ECHO (echocardiogram) scan. This is like an ultrasound scan for the heart. Another is an endomyocardial biopsy. A tiny piece of their heart tissue is removed (biopsy). A flexible hollow tube (catheter) goes into the blood vessels up to the heart. Then, a small device on the end of the catheter takes a tiny piece of heart tissue (about the size of a pencil tip). Another is a cardiac MRI. This takes pictures of the inside of the heart using a powerful magnet. Another is a cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET). This involves moving a specially designed set of bicycle pedals using hands and arms. This will check how the lungs, heart and muscles are affected during exercise. After the 12-month visit, people will visit the clinic every few months for up to a few years.

This study will investigate the how the cerebellum is involved in speech motor learning over time and short-term corrections in patients with cerebellar ataxia and healthy controls. This will be accomplished through three approaches: behavioral studies, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). During behavioral studies, participants will be asked to speak into a microphone while their voice is played back over earphones, and to do other speaking tasks. MRI will be acquired to perform a detailed analysis on brain function and anatomy related to speech and the cerebellum. In healthy controls, TMS will also be performed to temporarily disrupt the cerebellum before, during, or after the participant performs speaking tasks. Patients with cerebellar ataxia and healthy volunteers will be asked to complete behavioral studies and/or MRI; healthy volunteers may be asked to additionally participate in TMS.

Balance and aerobic training show promise as treatments for degenerative cerebellar diseases, but the neural effects of both training methods are unknown. The goal of this project is to evaluate how each training method impacts the brain, and particularly, the degenerating cerebellum. Various neuroimaging techniques will be used to accomplish this goal and test the hypothesis that balance training impacts brain structures outside the cerebellum whereas aerobic training causes more neuroplastic changes within the cerebellum.

Engage-Ataxia will implement a physical activity coaching program for people with cerebellar ataxia at Teachers College, Columbia University. This program expands upon the current Engage program for people with Parkinson's disease (Engage-PD), an exercise coaching program for people with early stage Parkinson's disease to target individuals with early stage cerebellar ataxia. Engage-Ataxia will utilize a physical or occupational therapist to provide up to five one-on-one coaching sessions for individuals newly diagnosed with cerebellar ataxia. Therapists will work with participants to provide individualized structured support to facilitate and optimize exercise uptake as one part of comprehensive disease management. Participants will undertake two assessments three months apart, and will receive coaching interventions via Zoom healthcare platform. The primary objective of this program is to increase physical activity and exercise engagement in individuals with early stage cerebellar ataxia. This feasibility study will provide preliminary data and insight into the benefits of a remote coaching intervention for people with cerebellar ataxia.

This trial tests a combination of strong chemotherapy and an immune-suppressing medicine followed by a stem cell transplant. It targets patients with autoimmune neurological diseases that haven't improved with other treatments. The treatment aims to weaken the immune system to stop it from attacking the nervous system and then helps the body recover by making new blood cells. High-dose chemotherapy followed by a stem cell transplant has been shown to improve various autoimmune diseases.

"I was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer three months ago, metastatic to my liver, and I have been receiving and responding well to chemotherapy. My blood work revealed that my tumor markers have gone from 2600 in the beginning to 173 as of now, even with the delay in treatment, they are not going up. CT Scans reveal they have been shrinking as well. However, chemo is seriously deteriorating my body. I have 4 more treatments to go in this 12 treatment cycle. I am just interested in learning about my other options, if any are available to me."

"I have dealt with voice and vocal fold issues related to paralysis for over 12 years. This problem has negatively impacted virtually every facet of my life. I am an otherwise healthy 48 year old married father of 3 living. My youngest daughter is 12 and has never heard my real voice. I am now having breathing issues related to the paralysis as well as trouble swallowing some liquids. In my research I have seen some recent trials focused on helping people like me."

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Cerebellar Ataxia clinical trials pay?

Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.

How do Cerebellar Ataxia clinical trials work?

After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Cerebellar Ataxia trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length for Cerebellar Ataxia is 12 months.

How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?

Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.

What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?

The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.

Do I need to be insured to participate in a Cerebellar Ataxia medical study?

Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.

What are the newest Cerebellar Ataxia clinical trials?

Most recently, we added Nomlabofusp for Friedreich's Ataxia, ASP2016 + Prednisolone for Friedreich Ataxia and EryDex for Ataxia Telangiectasia to the Power online platform.
