Neuropathy clinical trials at UCSF

4 in progress, 1 open to eligible people

Neuropathy is nerve damage leading to issues like tingling or weakness. UCSF is collecting clinical data and biological samples from leukodystrophy patients. These efforts expand knowledge on how these disorders affect nerve function.

  • Myelin Disorders Biorepository Project

    open to all eligible people

    The Myelin Disorders Biorepository Project (MDBP) seeks to collect and analyze clinical data and biological samples from leukodystrophy patients worldwide to support ongoing and future research projects. The MDBP is one of the world's largest leukodystrophy biorepositories, having enrolled nearly 2,000 affected individuals since it was launched over a decade ago. Researchers working in the biorepository hope to use these materials to uncover new genetic etiologies for various leukodystrophies, develop biomarkers for use in future clinical trials, and better understand the natural history of these disorders. The knowledge gained from these efforts may help improve the diagnostic tools and treatment options available to patients in the future.

  • Laryngopharyngeal Sensation: Cancer Survivor Cohort

    Sorry, not yet accepting patients

    A previous study completed in 2022 (NCT05158179) was conducted using cohorts of healthy controls, and adults with general laryngopharyngeal disorders. This study will expand on the previous research to include a separate cohort of adults being seen in clinic for an existing laryngopharyngeal disorder resulting from previous radiation or other cancer treatments.

  • Duloxetine to Prevent Oxaliplatin-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy in Patients with Stage II-III Colorectal Cancer

    Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients

    This phase II/III trial studies the best dose of duloxetine and how well it works in preventing pain, tingling, and numbness (peripheral neuropathy) caused by treatment with oxaliplatin in patients with stage II-III colorectal cancer. Duloxetine increases the amount of certain chemicals in the brain that help relieve depression and pain. Giving duloxetine in patients undergoing treatment with oxaliplatin for colorectal cancer may help prevent peripheral neuropathy.

  • Longitudinal Study in Adults with Multifocal Motor Neuropathy

    Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients

    This prospective longitudinal study will follow participants with Multifocal Motor Neuropathy over time and collect data on their clinical outcomes, quality of life, and use of health care resources. Participants will follow their regular visit schedule with their treating physician, except for an optional second visit occurring 7 to 14 days after the start of the study to collect biomarker data. No IMP will be administered.
