Arthrogryposis, Distal, Type 1A clinical trials

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.

Survey Study and Records Review of Treatment Outcomes in Freeman-Sheldon Syndrome

STOP-FSS

Start date: February 2010
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Freeman-Sheldon syndrome (FSS) is a rare muscle disorder present before birth, involving primarily problems of the face and skull and the hands and feet. This is a study of problems, experiences, helpful treatments, and quality of life focusing on patients with FSS but including patients with Sheldon-Hall syndrome (SHS), distal arthrogryposis type 1 (DA1), and distal arthrogryposis type 3 (DA3), also called Gorden syndrome. These and related disorders are very challenging to treat, partly because the big differences in individual patients and lack of information on previous clinical experience with treatment options. It is hoped the study will identify areas for further research in physiology and therapy. This study will cover all types of treatment [medical (non-surgical), including psychiatric, and surgical treatments], even unconventional. It also includes questions about effects on the patient's thoughts, feelings, quality of life, and relationship with siblings, family, and parents' and if any intervention was required or advised. This study will also look for similarities and differences in patients who meet the head and face part of the diagnostic criteria but do not meet all other parts and patients who met the full diagnostic criteria. There will be questions about problems or experiences to investigate if both groups of patients may have the same syndrome. Treatment success depends on getting a correct diagnosis.
