View clinical trials related to Congenital Myasthenic Syndrome.
Filter by:Congenital myasthenia is a potentially lethal disorder, which, even with careful management, significantly impedes participation in normal daily functions. Currently approved therapies have had little impact on promoting a normal quality of life activity in these patients. The goal is to systematically examine the effect of 3,4-DAP on the natural course of this disease and to gain additional experience in titrating 3,4-DAP with other available therapies to maximize clinical function and development in this patient population. The specific aim of this study is to evaluate the use of 3,4 Diaminopyridine (DAP) on selected patients proven by genetic or serum antibody testing to have Congenital Myasthenic Syndrome (CMS), prescribe 3,4 DAP, and then clinically evaluate the response.
Primary: The primary objective of this study under the original protocol was to provide neuromuscular specialists and neurologists access to amifampridine phosphate therapy for their patients with LEMS, CMS or downbeat nystagmus until the product became commercially available. Secondary: The secondary objective of this study under the original protocol was to provide additional long-term safety data on amifampridine phosphate in patients. Primary The primary objective of this study after its fifth amendment was to provide access to amifampridine phosphate therapy to pediatric patients with LEMS, and pediatric and adult patients with CMS until the product became commercially available for these indications or development of the product for the indication was terminated. Secondary: The secondary objective of this study after its fifth amendment was to assess the long-term safety of amifampridine phosphate in pediatric patients with LEMS, and pediatric and adult patients with CMS.
