Active clinical trials for "Muscular Dystrophies"

Dystrophinopathy is a term of X-linked recessive genetic disease, including Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, Becker Muscular Dystrophy, and the X-linked dilated cardiomyopathy. The aim of this study is to determine the clinical spectrum and natural progression of dystrophinopathy in a prospective multicenter natural history study, to assess the clinical, genetic of patients with dystrophinopathy to optimize clinical management.

The data to be collected is intended to help healthcare providers make important medical and financial decisions concerning FSHD1, through an enhanced understanding of the prevalence, progression and natural history of FSHD1.

This is an observational screening study to evaluate the prevalence of anti-adeno-associated serotype 8 (AAV8) antibodies in participants with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD).

ARISE is a prospective and longitudinal clinical study of individuals with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) aimed at creating a database of functional motor abilities in this population to support validation efforts of the Duchenne Video Assessment (DVA).

The purpose of this study is to identify new genes responsible for neuromuscular disorders and study muscle tissue of patient with known neuromuscular disease, as well as their family members. We are interested in recruiting many types of neuromuscular disease including; Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD), and limb-girdle muscle dystrophy (LGMD). There are still many patients diagnosed with muscular dystrophy with no causative gene implicated in their disease. Using molecular genetics to unravel basis of these neuromuscular disorders will lead to more accurate diagnosis/prognosis of these disorders which will lead to potential therapies.

Mutations in the Fukutin Related Protein (FKRP) gene cause the condition Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy type R9 (LGMDR9) also known as LGMD2i, and the rarer conditions Congenital Muscular Dystrophy (MDC1C), Muscle Eye Brain Disease (MEB) and Walker-Warburg Syndrome (WWS). LGMDR9 is the most common FKRP-related condition, and is especially prevalent in Northern Europe. The aim is to facilitate a questionnaire based research study in order to better characterise and understand the disease globally. By maintaining a global registry this will help identify potential participants eligible for clinical trials in the future.

We are the missing link in clinical trials, connecting patients and researchers seamlessly and conveniently using a mobile health platform to advance medical research. We make it easy for patients to contribute to research for medical conditions that matter most to them, regardless of their location or ability to travel.

The Duchenne Registry is an online, patient-report registry for individuals with Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophy and carrier females. The purpose of the Registry is to connect Duchenne and Becker patients with actively recruiting clinical trials and research studies, and to educate patients and families about Duchenne and Becker care and research. At the same time, The Duchenne Registry is a valuable resource for clinicians and researchers in academia and industry, allowing access to de-identified datasets provided by patients and their families-information that is vital to advances in the care and treatment of Duchenne. The Duchenne Registry is a member of the TREAT-NMD Neuromuscular Network.

The purpose of this study is to provide a single clinical study with a uniform approach to monitoring long-term safety and efficacy in participants who received delandistrogene moxeparvovec in a previous clinical study. No study drug will be administered as part of this study. Pre-infusion baseline will be defined as the timepoint just prior to infusion of delandistrogene moxeparvovec from a previous clinical study. Each participant will be followed for a minimum of 5 years post-infusion of delandistrogene moxeparvovec from a previous clinical study. The duration of participation in this study is dependent on the length of follow-up the participant completed post-infusion of delandistrogene moxeparvovec from a previous clinical study.

Study A083-02 is a multi-center, Phase 2 study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacodynamics (PD), efficacy, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of locally-acting ACE-083 in patients with Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) to be conducted in two parts. Part 1 is open-label, dose-escalation and Part 2 is randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled.
