5 results about "Amytrophic lateral sclerosis" patented technology

The present invention addresses the problem of providing an agent for preventing or treating amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Parkinson's disease (PD), Huntington's disease (HD), spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA), aging-related degenerative or neurological disease, brain aging, or diseases associated with brain aging, as well as a more stable antibody that exhibits an effect of preventing or treating these diseases, Alzheimer's disease (AD), or frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD). A human monoclonal antibody that specifically binds to human HMGB1, wherein the human monoclonal antibody (anti-human HMGB1 antibody) comprises a heavy chain CDR1, heavy chain CDR2, and heavy chain CDR3 each consisting of a specific amino acid sequence and a light chain CDR1, light chain CDR2, and light chain CDR3 each consisting of a specific amino acid sequence, is used as an agent for preventing or treating ALS, PD, HD, SCA, aging-related degenerative or neurological disease, brain aging, or diseases associated with brain aging. An antibody in which the light chain complementarity determining region (CDR) 3 of the anti-human HMGB1 antibody has been modified is used.

The present application provides compounds of Formula (I) and related compositions and methods, including methods of therapy for treating nervous system diseases and disorders, including multiple sclerosis (MS) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and methods for in vivo imaging of AMPA receptors or surrogates thereof in the brain. (I)

Pharmaceutical compositions comprising antioxidants as useful therapeutic agents for treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and methods thereof, are disclosed. In particular, the present disclosure provides enteric capsules and intravenous (i.v.) drip of aspirin-mimetic antioxidant drugs in intervention of ALS.

The present invention provides compositions and methods for inhibiting the autoimmune component of neurodegenerative diseases and thereby providing a therapeutic effect to patients suffering from such diseases. The compositions and methods comprise immunosuppressive moieties, such as regulatory T cells (Tregs) and proteins expressed by Tregs coupled to a chimeric antigen receptor or that specifically bind to one or more glial cell markers. Therapeutically effective doses of the compounds for treating neurodegenerative diseases, including progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), Parkinson's disease (PD), Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), and prion diseases, are disclosed.
