Technology Assisted Rehabilitation for Upper Limb Function in Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1
Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1 (DM1)Myotonic Dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is a genetic multisystem disease causing muscle weakness and myotonia. As a result, upper limb function might become impaired. There are little research regarding rehabilitation and exercise for upper limb function in DM1. It is known from research on lower limb function in DM1 and other muscular dystrophies, that there are possibilities to improve function also in these deteriorating diseases. In this single subject experimental design study, 6-10 adults with DM1, who are at an inpatient rehabilitation center, will get intensive, but personally adapted senso- and robot assisted rehabilitation for arm- and hand function with Tyromotion Amadeo and Armeo Senso. These devices have previously been used in rehabilitation research for other neurological conditions. The participants will be followed up, and evaluated at a weekly basis, using video consultations. Fine motor skill dexterity test (9HPT) and the Nut and Bolt test will be used, and active range of motion (ROM) and muscle strenght and movement of upper limb will be measured. Furthermore, patient reported outcome measures (PROMS) on hand impairment and myotonia will be used, all with purpose to evaluate upper limb function.
A Remote Physical Activity Program in the Population Suffering From Type 1 Myotonic Dystrophy
Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1 (DM1)The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbates health problems by reducing access to adapted and advanced physical rehabilitation for several people who need rehabilitation services, including the population with myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1). The PACE tool, an innovative web tool integrating pragmatic physical activity programs, seems to be an interesting and innovative intervention to counter physical deficiencies of people with DM1, which are unfortunately accentuated by the pandemic, while reducing the risk of COVID-19 exposure. Objectives: 1) Evaluate the feasibility, usability and acceptability of the PACE tool in the DM1 population; 2) Evaluate the effects of the intervention on their physical and cognitive health; and 3) Estimate the cost-effectiveness ratio of this intervention. Method: Sixty people (experimental group = 40 and control group = 20) will participate in this randomized intervention study. Participants in the experimental group will be assigned to one of the 35 physical activity programs adapted to their condition of the PACE tool. The program must be performed on a daily basis for a period of 12 weeks. Physical and cognitive health will be assessed before and after the remote intervention via ZOOM, for all participants.
Venous Thromboembolism in Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1
Myotonic Dystrophy 1Investigators identified a high risk of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism in patients presenting myotonic dystrophy type 1 treated in our hospital, 10 times higher than general population matched on age and sex. These venous thromboembolic events were frequently severe and lethal. Investigators suspect that this high risk of venous thromboembolism is due to coagulation abnormalities specific to myotonic dystrophy type 1. The purpose of this study is to determine: 1/ if there is a hypercoagulable state in myotonic dystrophy type 1 by testing patient's coagulation, and 2/ if genes encoding factors involved in coagulation have modified expression resulting in this hypercoagulable state. Understanding the pathophysiology will help preventing venous thromboembolism in these patients. It is the first study to describe this specific issue.
Extension of AOC 1001-CS1 (MARINA) Study in Adult Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1 (DM1) Patients
DM1Muscular Dystrophies14 moreAOC 1001-CS2 (MARINA-OLE) is a Phase 2 extension of the AOC 1001-CS1 (MARINA) study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, efficacy, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of multiple-doses of AOC 1001 Administered Intravenously to Adult Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1 (DM1) patients
Safety and Efficacy of Pitolisant on Excessive Daytime Sleepiness and Other Non-Muscular Symptoms...
Myotonic Dystrophy 1Excessive Daytime SleepinessThe primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of pitolisant compared with placebo in treating excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) in patients with Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1 ages 18 to 65 years. The secondary objectives of this study are to assess the impact of pitolisant on fatigue, cognitive function and the burden of disease along with assessing the long-term safety and effectiveness of pitolisant in patients with Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1 ages 18 to 65 years.

Brain Structure and Clinical Endpoints in Myotonic Dystrophy Type 2
Myotonic Dystrophy Type 2Nearly two-third of patients with myotonic dystrophy type 2 (DM2) report that impaired cognition is among the most disabling symptoms and deeply affects their quality of life. Yet, relatively little is known about how DM2 affects brain structure and cognitive function as brain imaging studies in DM2 are extremely limited. This is a prospective, cross-sectional study of brain structure and function on cognitive and motor performance in patients with DM2 compared to healthy controls. All participants will undergo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to evaluate brain structure and white matter integrity, a comprehensive battery of cognitive and motor measures, self-reported questionnaires, and blood collection for brain-based biomarker analysis. A subset of participants will undergo lumbar puncture for cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) collection for additional biomarker analysis and validation. This work is critical to inform the development of rigorous clinical trial designs and plan for a longitudinal study to evaluate MRI measures as imaging biomarkers of disease progression and therapeutic response in DM2.
