Establishing Clinical Trial Readiness for Children 0-5 Years With Congenital Muscular Dystrophy Secondary to LAMA2 Mutations (READY CMD LAMA2)
Nationwide Children's Hospital
Summary
The goal of this observational study is to understand how young children with LAMA2-related dystrophy move and change over time. We will also learn about how this condition impacts other body systems. Participants will undergo: * Neuromuscular assessments * Blood collections * Swallowing and breathing assessments * Questionnaires
Description
READY CMD LAMA2 is a Pre-Phase 1, single-arm, multicenter, prospective natural history clinical study to evaluate the natural history and potential early outcome measures in subjects with laminin α2-related dystrophy (LAMA2-RD) aged 0-5 years. The study seeks to enroll 44 subjects across 14 sites. NCH will enroll 10 subjects. Subjects will complete in-person visits at Baseline, Month 6, Month 12, Month 18, and Month 24. Within two weeks of the Baseline, Month 12, and Month 24 visits, a remote visit will be performed to repeat and compare remote outcomes with in-person outcomes. Remote visits…
