Filter by:Thanks to tele-assessment methods, it may be possible to evaluate DMD patients without traveling to clinical centers. In recent years, the applicability of remote assessment methods in DMD patients, as in many populations, is being investigated. However, studies have generally focused on a single evaluation parameter such as physical function, a special evaluation method or a special evaluation tool. The aim of this study is to investigate whether remote assessment of functional performance and quality of life in DMD patients is valid and reliable. If a valid and reliable tele-evaluation method that includes functional performance and quality of life parameters is found to be valid and reliable, the travel burden on patients and caregivers can be eased, patients' stress and anxiety related to travel can be reduced, caregivers can save time and energy and provide patients with the best possible treatment.
AOC 1044-CS2 (EXPLORE44-OLE) is an Open-label Study to Evaluate the Pharmacodynamics and Long-Term Safety and Tolerability of AOC 1044 Administered Intravenously to DMD Participants with Mutations Amenable to Exon 44 Skipping.
The purpose of this study is to provide a single clinical study with a uniform approach to monitoring long-term safety and efficacy in participants who received delandistrogene moxeparvovec in a previous clinical study. No study drug will be administered as part of this study. Pre-infusion baseline will be defined as the timepoint just prior to infusion of delandistrogene moxeparvovec from a previous clinical study. Each participant will be followed for a minimum of 5 years post-infusion of delandistrogene moxeparvovec from a previous clinical study. The duration of participation in this study is dependent on the length of follow-up the participant completed post-infusion of delandistrogene moxeparvovec from a previous clinical study.
The objective is to develop and test, through an iterative process, an intervention to address and support the development of infants with a confirmed diagnosis of a neurogenetic disorder with associated developmental delays or intellectual and developmental disabilities. The proposed project will capitalize and expand upon existing empirically based interventions designed to improve outcomes for infants with suspected developmental delays. Participants will be infants with a confirmed diagnosis of a neurogenetic disorder (e.g., fragile X, Angelman, Prader-Willi, Dup15q, Phelan-McDermid, Rhett, Smith Magenis, Williams, Turner, Kleinfelter, Down syndromes, Duchenne muscular dystrophy) within the first year of life and their parents/caregivers. The intervention, called the Parent and Infant Inter(X)action Intervention (PIXI) is a comprehensive program inclusive of parent education about early infant development and the neurogenetic disorder for which they were diagnosed, direct parent coaching around parent-child interaction, and family/parent well-being support. The protocol includes repeated comprehensive assessments of family and child functioning, along with an examination of feasibility and acceptability of the program.
Early Check provides voluntary screening of newborns for a selected panel of conditions. The study has three main objectives: 1) develop and implement an approach to identify affected infants, 2) address the impact on infants and families who screen positive, and 3) evaluate the Early Check program. The Early Check screening will lead to earlier identification of newborns with rare health conditions in addition to providing important data on the implementation of this model program. Early diagnosis may result in health and development benefits for the newborns. Infants who have newborn screening in North Carolina will be eligible to participate, equating to over 120,000 eligible infants a year. Over 95% of participants are expected to screen negative. Newborns who screen positive and their parents are invited to additional research activities and services. Parents can enroll eligible newborns on the Early Check electronic Research Portal. Screening tests are conducted on residual blood from existing newborn screening dried blood spots. Confirmatory testing is provided free-of-charge for infants who screen positive, and carrier testing is provided to mothers of infants with fragile X. Affected newborns have a physical and developmental evaluation. Their parents have genetic counseling and are invited to participate in surveys and interviews. Ongoing evaluation of the program includes additional parent interviews.
This is an open label, long-term safety, tolerability, and efficacy study of GIVINOSTAT in all DMD (Duchenne's muscular dystrophy) patients who have been previously treated in one of the GIVINOSTAT studies.
The objective of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of 10, 10, 20 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) ataluren in participants with nmDBMD who had prior exposure to ataluren in a PTC sponsored clinical trial or treatment plan, and siblings of those participants (provided those participants have completed the placebo-controlled portion of the trial). The treatment will continue under this protocol until consent withdrawal by participants, withdrawal due to worsen condition after initiating ataluren treatment, withdrawal by investigator, withdrawal due to participant unable to tolerate ataluren, participant is eligible to participate in another ataluren nmDBMD clinical trial program initiated by sponsor, study is discontinued by the relevant regulatory authority and/or sponsor, or until ataluren becomes commercially available.
