BACKGROUND: Neuropathic pain after spinal cord injury (SCI), both traumatic and non-traumatic, is refractory to various treatments. Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is one of the neuromodulation therapies for neuropathic pain, although SCS has insufficient efficacy for neuropathic pain after SCI. The reasons are presumed to be inappropriate locations of SCS leads and conventional tonic stimulation itself does not have a sufficient analgesic effect for the pain. In patients with past spinal surgical histories, the cylinder-type leads are likely to be placed on the caudal side of the SCI because of surgical adhesions. Differential target multiplexed (DTM) stimulation is one of the latest new stimulation patterns that is superior to conventional stimulation. METHODS: A single-center, open-label, randomized, two-way crossover trial is planned to investigate the efficacy of SCS using DTM stimulation placing a paddle lead at the appropriate site for neuropathic pain after SCI in patients with spinal surgical histories. The paddle-type lead delivers energy more efficiently than a cylinder-type lead. This study consists of two steps: SCS trial (first step) and SCS system implantation (second step). The primary outcome is rates of achieving pain improvement with more than 33% reduction 3 months after SCS system implantation. The secondary outcomes are to be evaluated as follows: (1) effectiveness of DTM and tonic stimulations during the SCS trial; (2) changes of assessment items from 1 to 24 months; (3) relationships between the result of the SCS trial and the effects 3 months after SCS system implantation; (4) preoperative factors associated with a long-term effect, defined as continuing for more than 12 months; and (5) whether gait function improves from 1 to 24 months. DISCUSSION: A paddle-type lead placed on the rostral side of SCI and using DTM stimulation may provide significant pain relief for patients with intractable neuropathic pain after SCI in patients with past spinal surgical histories. TRIAL REGISTRATION: Japan Registry of Clinical Trials (jRCT) jRCT 1042220093. Registered on 21 November 2022, and last modified on 6 January 2023. jRCT is approved as a member of the Primary Registry Network of WHO ICTRP.

BACKGROUND: GNE myopathy is an ultra-rare muscle disease characterized by a reduction in the synthesis of sialic acid derived from pathogenic variants in the GNE gene. No treatment has been established so far. OBJECTIVE: We evaluated the safety and efficacy of oral supplementation of aceneuramic acid in patients with GNE myopathy. METHODS: This multicenter, placebo-controlled, double-blind study comprised genetically confirmed GNE myopathy patients in Japan who were randomly assigned into treatment groups of sialic acid-extended release (SA-ER) tablets (6 g/day for 48 weeks) or placebo groups (4:1). The primary endpoint of effectiveness was set as the change in total upper limb muscle strength (upper extremity composite [UEC] score) from the start of administration to the final evaluation time point. RESULTS: Among the 20 enrolled patients (SA-ER group, 16; placebo group, 4), 19 completed this 48-week study. The mean value of change in UEC score (95% confidence interval [CI]) at 48 weeks was -0.1 kg (-2.1 to 2.0) in the SA-ER group and -5.1 kg (-10.4 to 0.3) in the placebo group. The least squares mean difference (95% CI) between the groups in the covariance analysis was 4.8 kg (-0.3 to 9.9; P = 0.0635). The change in UEC score at 48 weeks was significantly higher in the SA-ER group compared with the placebo group (P = 0.0013) in the generalized estimating equation test repeated measurement analysis. In one patient in the SA-ER group, who was found to be pregnant 2 weeks after drug administration fetal death with tangled umbilical cord occurred at 13 weeks after the discontinuation of treatment. No other serious adverse effects were observed. CONCLUSIONS: The present study indicates that oral administration of SA-ER tablets is effective and safe in patients with GNE myopathy in Japan.

The clinical presentation of corticobasal degeneration is diverse, while the background pathology of corticobasal syndrome is also heterogeneous. Therefore, predicting the pathological background of corticobasal syndrome is extremely difficult. Herein, we investigated the clinical findings and course in patients with pathologically, genetically and biochemically verified corticobasal degeneration and corticobasal syndrome with background pathology to determine findings suggestive of background disorder. Thirty-two patients were identified as having corticobasal degeneration. The median intervals from the initial symptoms to the onset of key milestones were as follows: gait disturbance, 0.0 year; behavioural changes, 1.0 year; falls, 2.0 years; cognitive impairment, 2.0 years; speech impairment, 2.5 years; supranuclear gaze palsy, 3.0 years; urinary incontinence, 3.0 years; and dysphagia, 5.0 years. The median survival time was 7.0 years; 50% of corticobasal degeneration was diagnosed as corticobasal degeneration/corticobasal syndrome at the final presentation. Background pathologies of corticobasal syndrome (n = 48) included corticobasal degeneration (33.3%), progressive supranuclear palsy (29.2%) and Alzheimer's disease (12.5%). The common course of corticobasal syndrome was initial gait disturbance and early fall. In addition, corticobasal degeneration-corticobasal syndrome manifested behavioural change (2.5 years) and cognitive impairment (3.0 years), as the patient with progressive supranuclear palsy-corticobasal syndrome developed speech impairment (1.0 years) and supranuclear gaze palsy (6.0 years). The Alzheimer's disease-corticobasal syndrome patients showed cognitive impairment (1.0 years). The frequency of frozen gait at onset was higher in the corticobasal degeneration-corticobasal syndrome group than in the progressive supranuclear palsy-corticobasal syndrome group [P = 0.005, odds ratio (95% confidence interval): 31.67 (1.46-685.34)]. Dysarthria at presentation was higher in progressive supranuclear palsy-corticobasal syndrome than in corticobasal degeneration-corticobasal syndrome [P = 0.047, 6.75 (1.16-39.20)]. Pyramidal sign at presentation and personality change during the entire course were higher in Alzheimer's disease-corticobasal syndrome than in progressive supranuclear palsy-corticobasal syndrome [P = 0.011, 27.44 (1.25-601.61), and P = 0.013, 40.00 (1.98-807.14), respectively]. In corticobasal syndrome, decision tree analysis revealed that 'freezing at onset' or 'no dysarthria at presentation and age at onset under 66 years in the case without freezing at onset' predicted corticobasal degeneration pathology with a sensitivity of 81.3% and specificity of 84.4%. 'Dysarthria at presentation and age at onset over 61 years' suggested progressive supranuclear palsy pathology, and 'pyramidal sign at presentation and personality change during the entire course' implied Alzheimer's disease pathology. In conclusion, frozen gait at onset, dysarthria, personality change and pyramidal signs may be useful clinical signs for predicting background pathologies in corticobasal syndrome.

Neurological Therapeutics Vol. 40 ( 2 ) page： 74 - 78 2023

Language：Japanese Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal) Publisher：Japanese Society of Neurological Therapeutics

<p>Recent advancement in studies on pathogenesis led to development of disease–modifying therapies such as nucleic acid therapies for neuromuscular disorders. Such therapies target disease causing genes and proteins, but therapeutic benefits in clinic is limited at a symptomatic stage of disease. To overcome this, strategies for prevention have been actively developed for neurodegenerative disease. Before manifestation of core motor/cognitive symptoms, preclinical and then prodromal stages exist during the progression of neurodegeneration. At preclinical stage, molecular changes occurs but symptoms are hardly detectable. At prodromal stage, heralding symptoms appear prior to manifestation of core symptoms. In cohort studies on at–risk subjects, mild motor/cognitive symptoms emerge ∼20 years prior to the onset of subjective symptoms in various diseases. For instance, non–motor symptoms including REM sleep behavior disorder occurs approximately 15 years before clinical diagnosis of Parkinson disease, which is made on the basis of subjective motor symptoms. The effects of disease–modifying therapy for preventing neurodegeneration is clearly shown in a clinical trial of nusinersen, a nucleic acid therapy of spinal muscular atrophy, for pre–symptomatic subjects, in which initiation of disease–modifying therapy before manifestation achieved potent therapeutic effects particularly in mild patients. Currently, cohort studies, biomarker research, and novel therapies are being developed to further prevent various neurodegenerative diseases.</p>

BACKGROUND: Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is an autosomal recessive genetic neuromuscular disorder with progressive muscle weakness and atrophy, mainly caused by lower motor neuron degeneration resulting from decreased levels of the survival motor neuron protein. Recently, 3 disease-modifying therapies for SMA (nusinersen, onasemnogene abeparvovec, and risdiplam) were approved in Japan that are expected to improve the prognosis of patients with SMA. Long-term clinical follow-up of adult patients treated with disease-modifying therapies and the natural history of SMA are essential to assess the real-world effectiveness of available treatments. Until recently, nusinersen was the only treatment option for patients with SMA in Japan; however, because Japanese approval of nusinersen was based on global clinical trials in infants and children aged 0-15 years with SMA, the effectiveness of nusinersen in adult patients has not been fully assessed in Japan. In addition, longitudinal clinical data of adult patients have not been systematically collected in Japan. OBJECTIVE: This longitudinal observational study of adult patients with SMA who have been diagnosed with 5q-SMA in Japan aims to gain a better understanding of the natural history of SMA, as well as the long-term effectiveness of disease-modifying therapies. Here, we describe the protocol for the study. METHODS: The Japan Registry for Adult Subjects of Spinal Muscular Atrophy (jREACT-SMA) study is a longitudinal (prospective and retrospective) observational study with a 60-month prospective follow-up being conducted at 19 investigational sites using the newly established jREACT-SMA registry. Patients aged ≥18 years with genetically confirmed 5q-SMA were planned to be enrolled in the registry from December 2020 to May 2022. The planned enrollment was 100 patients. The protocol was approved on September 28, 2020 (approval 2020-0289) by the ethical review committee of Nagoya University. Registration, demographics, genetic diagnosis, motor functions, patient-reported outcomes/quality-of-life outcomes, and other clinical data have been or will be collected. RESULTS: As of May 2022, 113 patients had been enrolled, and the completion of patient registration has been extended from May 2022 to December 2022. Data at registration and during the follow-up period were and will be prospectively collected at least once a year until November 2025 (maximum 60 months). Data analyses will be conducted when all data have been collected. Results are expected to be available in 2026 and the study is expected to be completed by March 2027. CONCLUSIONS: This jREACT-SMA study will provide longitudinal prospective follow-up data in adult patients with SMA in Japan, including data on the natural history of the disease and data on the long-term effectiveness of disease-modifying therapies.

OBJECTIVE: Patients with spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy (SBMA) often experience muscular weakness under cold exposure. METHODS: In our previously conducted observational study, we assessed nerve conduction and grip strength to examine the effect of cold exposure on motor function, based on which we conducted a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of mexiletine hydrochloride in SBMA (MEXPRESS). RESULTS: In the observational study, 51 consecutive patients with SBMA and 18 healthy controls (HCs) were enrolled. Of the patients with SBMA, 88.0% experienced cold paresis. Patients with SBMA exhibited greater prolongation of ulnar nerve distal latency under cold (SBMA, 5.6 ± 1.1 msec; HC, 4.3 ± 0.6 msec; p <0.001); the change in the distal latencies between room temperature and cold exposure conditions correlated with the change in grip power. In the MEXPRESS trial, 20 participants took mexiletine or lactose, three times a day for 4 weeks with a crossover design. There was no difference in distal latencies at room temperature and under cold exposure between mexiletine and placebo groups as the primary endpoint. However, tongue pressure and 10-sec grip and release test under cold exposure were improved in the mexiletine group. There were no serious adverse events throughout the study period. INTERPRETATION: Cold paresis is common and associated with prolongation of distal latency in SBMA. The results of the phase II clinical trial revealed that mexiletine showed short-term safety, but it did not restore cold exposure-induced prolongation of distal latency.

This study aimed to develop a functional measurement that combines quantitative motor evaluation index of various body regions in patients with spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy (SBMA). We assessed subjects with SBMA and healthy controls with quantitative muscle strength measurements and functional scales. We selected tongue pressure, grip power, % peak expiratory flow (%PEF), timed walking test, and % forced vital capacity (%FVC) as components. By combining these values with Z-score, we created a functional composite (SBMA functional composite: SBMAFC). We also calculated the standardized response mean to compare the sensitivity of SBMAFC with that of existing measurements. A total of 97 genetically confirmed patients with SBMA and 36 age- and sex-matched healthy controls were enrolled. In the longitudinal analysis, the standardized response mean of SBMAFC was larger than that of existing rating scales. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis demonstrated that the SBMAFC is capable of distinguishing between subjects with early-stage SBMA and healthy controls. SBMAFC is more sensitive to disease progression than existing functional rating scales and is a potential outcome measure in clinical trials of SBMA.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the clinical and electrophysiological features of female carriers and early-stage male subjects with spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy (SBMA) to elucidate the early pathophysiological changes of the disease. METHODS: Female carriers, early-stage male subjects with SBMA and age-matched male and female healthy controls were recruited. The results of motor functional scales, motor unit number estimation, dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, and peripheral blood tests were compared between female carriers and healthy female controls and between SBMA subjects and healthy male controls. Electromyography was also investigated in female carriers. RESULTS: We enrolled 21 female carriers and 11 early-stage male subjects. Seventeen female and 14 male age-matched healthy controls were also enrolled. Female carriers experienced early-stage symptoms such as muscle cramps more frequently than healthy female controls. Decreased motor unit number estimation and electromyography abnormalities including high amplitude or polyphasic potentials were observed in female carriers together with mild muscle weakness in neck flexion and a slow walking speed. Changes of muscle-related markers, including serum creatine kinase and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, were clearly detected in male early-stage subjects with SBMA, but not in female carriers. CONCLUSION: The present study revealed that female carriers of SBMA manifest mild muscular weakness associated with changes in neurogenic biomarkers. Conversely, male patients showed neurogenic and myopathic changes even at the early-stage. These results suggest a testosterone-independent neurodegenerative pathophysiology in female SBMA carriers.
