Filter by:The Global Registry for COL6-related dystrophies (www.collagen6.org) is a database for individuals who have been diagnosed with Bethlem Myopathy, Ullrich Congenital Muscular Dystrophy (UCMD) or an intermediate form of these diseases. The registry team is based at the John Walton Muscular Dystrophy Research Centre at Newcastle University, UK and is part of the TREAT-NMD alliance global network of registries. The registry has been developed in partnership with a number of leading neuromuscular researchers and is funded by the Collagen VI Alliance. This patient registry will: - Help identify patients for relevant clinical trials as they become available - Encourage further research into Collagen 6-related dystrophies - Provide researchers with specific patient information to support their research - Assist doctors and other health professionals by providing them with up-to-date information on managing Collagen 6- related dystrophies, to help them deliver better standards of care for their patients The investigators welcome the registration of: ✓ All patients, with a diagnosis of a COL6-related dystrophy (Bethlem Myopathy, Ullrich Congenital Muscular Dystrophy or Intermediate form) , which has been confirmed via genetic testing or muscle biopsy.
Dystrophinopathy is a term of X-linked recessive genetic disease, including Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, Becker Muscular Dystrophy, and the X-linked dilated cardiomyopathy. The aim of this study is to determine the clinical spectrum and natural progression of dystrophinopathy in a prospective multicenter natural history study, to assess the clinical, genetic of patients with dystrophinopathy to optimize clinical management.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of expiratory muscle strength training (EMST) on the swallowing, breathing, oral intake, quality of life and cough function of people with oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy (OPMD).
This study will be comprised of 2 parts: 1) Part A (Multiple Ascending Dose [MAD]) will be conducted to evaluate the safety and tolerability of vesleteplirsen at MAD levels to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), and 2) Part B will be conducted to further evaluate the vesleteplirsen doses selected in Part A. Participants enrolling in Part B will be those who completed Part A or Study 5051-102 (NCT03675126) and meet applicable eligibility criteria for Part B, as well as additional participants who meet applicable eligibility criteria for enrollment at the beginning of Part B.
This clinical trial is a study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and changes in biomarker and clinical outcome assessments of Losmapimod for patients with Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy 1 (FSHD1) with an open-label extension.
This is a study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Losmapimod in treating patients with Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy (FSHD) over 48 weeks.
Mutations in the Fukutin Related Protein (FKRP) gene cause the condition Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy type R9 (LGMDR9) also known as LGMD2I, and the rarer conditions Congenital Muscular Dystrophy (MDC1C), Muscle Eye Brain Disease (MEB) and Walker-Warburg Syndrome (WWS). LGMDR9 is the most common FKRP-related condition, and is especially prevalent in Northern Europe. The aim is to facilitate a questionnaire based research study in order to better characterise and understand the disease globally. By maintaining a global registry this will help identify potential participants eligible for clinical trials in the future.
Facioscapulohumeral Dystrophy (FSHD) is the third most common form of neuromuscular dystrophy worldwide with an estimated prevalence of one in 20,000. FSHD is an autosomal dominant genetic disease and is estimated to affect up to 3,000 people in the UK. The patient registry facilitates a questionnaire based research study to better characterise and understand the disease in the UK, and helps to identify potential participants eligible for clinical trials.
This study will be comprised of 2 parts: Part 1 (dose escalation) will be conducted to evaluate the safety and tolerability of 2 doses (100 milligrams/kilogram [mg/kg] and 200 mg/kg) of eteplirsen in approximately 10 participants with DMD; Part 2 (dose finding and dose comparison) will be conducted for the selection of a high dose (100 mg/kg versus 200 mg/kg) and its comparison with the 30 mg/kg dose of eteplirsen, in approximately 144 participants with genetically confirmed deletion mutations amenable to treatment by skipping exon 51.
This is a pilot study to examine the diagnostic utility of a novel transmembrane surface sensor, and compare signals obtained with the transmembrane sensor to conventional needle EMG signals from healthy volunteers to those with documented neurologic pharyngeal muscle dysfunction (ALS and muscular dystrophy) and to those with severe OSA.
