Active clinical trials for "Myopathies, Structural, Congenital"

X-Linked myotubular myopathy (XLMTM), a form of centronuclear myopathy (CNM) is the result of a mutation in the MTM1 (myotubularin) gene which leads to altered myotubularin. Myotubularin is essential for optimum muscle function. To date, over 100 mutations have been described resulting in a range of disease onset and symptom severity. The early onset form presents with neonatal hypotonia, muscle weakness, respiratory distress and an ongoing requirement for continuous ventilatory support with the inability to maintain a sitting position once placed. Males with both later onset and milder symptoms usually do not require ongoing ventilatory support, achieve a higher maximal motor function with ability to sit when placed and even walk, and have improved survival rates. Males with XLMTM may experience complications (events) at birth and throughout their lifetime. The goal of the study is to identify the number of events over twelve months in males with genetically confirmed XLMTM. Parents or affected individuals over the age of 18 years who are able to access telephone will provide answers to an established event survey to evaluate the frequency and types of events. Emergency department, hospital admissions and mortality will be confirmed by obtaining medical reports. The investigators hypothesize that there will be no association between the frequency of events and markers of clinical severity including the need for ventilatory support at birth, current level of ventilatory support (no support, support less than 12 hours, support more than 12 hours) and current motor function (walking, sitting without support, inability to sit without support).

This is a pre-Phase 1 prospective, non interventional clinical assessment study to evaluate XLMTM subjects aged 3 years and younger. Many of these clinically relevant measures have not yet been routinely assessed in this population and may provide important insight on the natural history of XLMTM and for future evaluation of potential therapies.

This study is a longitudinal study evaluating the severity and progression of respiratory muscle function in patients with X-Linked Myotubular Myopathy (XLMTM) aged 0-14.

This retrospective medical chart review (RECENSUS) of approximately 100 XLMTM patients (with a goal to obtain 50 deceased and 20 living records) will provide further knowledge about the clinical manifestations and recorded medical management of XLMTM and potentially inform the design of future therapeutic intervention studies.

This is a prospective, longitudinal study of the natural disease course intended to recruit approximately 60 patients with centronuclear myopathies (CNM) in Europe and the United States. The duration of the study, including the enrollment period, will be approximately 4 years. Data from the study will be used to characterize the natural disease course of CNM, to identify prognostic variables of the disease and to determine the best outcome measure(s) for the evaluation of future therapeutic approaches.
