Clinical Trial Summary

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.

Description:

The Duchenne Registry (previously DuchenneConnect) was created in 2007 by Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy (PPMD), with assistance from the NIH, the CDC, and Emory Genetics. In early 2011, PPMD alone began financing the registry's operation and maintenance, and is the sole guardian of The Duchenne Registry and its material.

Questions may be addressed to the Duchenne Registry Coordinators at telephone 888-520-8675 or coordinator@duchenneregistry.org. The Duchenne Registry Coordinators are certified genetic counselors who are available to answer questions regarding the registration process, genetic testing and counseling, and clinical trials and research studies.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Other	Corticosteroid use	Data collected includes whether or not corticosteroids are used, and if so, name of corticosteroid, age started/stopped, dose and dosing regimen.	Registrants are requested to update their medical history every 6-12 months, and they will be followed throughout their lifetime.
Other	Cardiovascular status	Multiple questions regarding cardiovascular symptoms, age at diagnosis of cardiomyopathy, use of cardiac medications, date of most recent echocardiogram and/or cardiac MRI, and the LVEF and/or LVSF value.	Registrants are requested to update their medical history every 6-12 months, and they will be followed throughout their lifetime.
Other	Respiratory status	Assessed from questions about use of breathing devices, age at which breathing devices were started, date of most recent pulmonary function test (spirometry), and the FVC value (% predicted and raw FVC in liters).	Registrants are requested to update their medical history every 6-12 months, and they will be followed throughout their lifetime.
Primary	Genetic variant	Genetic variant data is collected by patient report and verified by curation/review of genetic test report when provided. Genetic test report is requested for each registrant and is required for participation in global DMD (TREAT-NMD) registry.	Registrants are requested to update their medical history every 6-12 months, and they will be followed throughout their lifetime.
Secondary	Ambulation status	Ambulation status is assessed from several questions about mobility, ability to sit and stand, use of assistive devices, and age at full time wheelchair use.	Registrants are requested to update their medical history every 6-12 months, and they will be followed throughout their lifetime.
