Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis - Cerebrospinal Fluid - Neurodegenerative Disease - Motor Neuron Disease |
| Purpose: |
|
In order to streamline disease research in ALS and other motor neuron diseases, we have
joined a consortium of clinical centers (Hershey and University of Pittsburgh) who will
collaborate on clinical and basic research projects. As part of this collaboration,
de-identified clinical data from subjects at each institution will be entered into a joint
database kindly provided and maintained by the ALS Hope Foundation. This database is
password protected and contains only de-identified information. In addition to clinical
data, any research specimens that are available through IRB approved tissue collections will
be linked to the subject so that the collaborating investigators can share samples and have
the maximum information. This will enhance the usefulness of each specimen. Since data
entered into the database will be existing data from the charts without any identifying
information as outlined in the DUCOM IRB Guidelines section 7.2-4, this protocol should be
exempt.
Once established, the database will provide a resource in which clinical data on a large
number of patients along with tissue (blood, urine, muscle, csf, and autopsy) samples will
be readily available. This will expedite research by circumventing the delays in collecting
specimens prospectively and increase the number of specimens available by allowing the
collaborating researchers access to each others specimens. In each case there will be a
formal request placed to use specimens that are at the other institutions. These specimens
will be used for research in the ALS Center of Hope at the Drexel University College of
Medicine and shared with outside investigators with valid IRB approved protocols.

Clinical trials are medical research studies designed to test the safety and/or
effectiveness of new drugs, devices, or treatments in humans. These studies are
conducted worldwide for a range of conditions and illnesses. Learn more about
