Clinical Trial Summary
Primary purpose is to identify individuals who have PCD due to a genetic mutation within the
DNAI1 and other genes of interest to help refer participants to future clinical studies for
this rare disease.
Description:
The aim of this study is to identify individuals with Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD)
through a screening questionnaire that enriches for likely pathogenic gene mutations in DNAI1
and other genes of interest associated with PCD. Identified individuals will be referred to
relevant upcoming clinical trials. This study will also obtain information on the proportion
of individuals with PCD who have mutations in DNAI1, and other PCD genes of interest.
Additional goals include increasing the awareness of patients and healthcare providers (HCPs)
of the importance of genetic testing in PCD, and engaging their interest in future clinical
studies.
PCD is a genetically heterogenous disease characterized by impaired ciliary movement in the
lungs, paranasal sinuses, reproductive system, and Eustachian tubes. PCD can result in a
range of clinical presentations, including pulmonary disease and respiratory tract
infections, chronic sinus infections, and recurrent ear infections, among others. The
estimated incidence of PCD is one in 10,000 people. Mutations in over 40 genes have been
shown to cause PCD, with commonly implicated genes being DNAH5, DNAI1, and DNAH11.
There is currently a lack of effective diagnostic tools for PCD; an estimated 46,000 people
with PCD remain undiagnosed in the United States. Genetic testing represents a potential
method to diagnose PCD.
Individuals with a confirmed PCD diagnosis, or those strongly suspected to have PCD by HCPs,
will complete an online informed consent form and a questionnaire to identify pathogenic
mutations. Following consent, individuals will be sent no-cost genetic testing kits and
guidance on collecting saliva samples. The saliva samples will be assessed by whole exome
sequencing for a number of the genes implicated in PCD, including DNAI1. Individuals with
identified DNAI1 mutations will be referred to the ReCode Therapeutics, Inc.'s RCT1100
Virtual Waiting Room and retained for potential future clinical trials through a continuing
engagement scheme. Individuals with other PCD-causing mutations will also be retained for
potential future clinical trials. Counselling will be available to all individuals in the
study.
