-
Apitegromab for FSHD in Adults (Phase 2)
This study tests whether apitegromab works as a standalone treatment for adults with FSHD.
-
BetterLife FSHD: a patient-driven health platform
This project tries to connect people with FSHD to personalized resources and collect their health experiences so they can be matched to relevant studies and help improve care.
-
Del-brax (AOC 1020) intravenous treatment for people with FSHD
This study will try regular IV infusions of del-brax (AOC 1020) in adults with FSHD to see if it slows muscle weakness and helps preserve walking ability.
-
Personalized exercise treatment for adults with rare neuromuscular disorders
This study is testing if a personalized exercise program can help adults with rare neuromuscular disorders improve their balance and physical function better than regular care.
-
Developing new biomarkers for muscular dystrophies
This study is trying to find easier and less painful ways to measure how serious muscular dystrophies are by looking at urine and blood samples and using simple tests, to help improve diagnosis and treatment for people with these conditions.
-
Registry for patients with Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy in the UK
This study is creating a registry to collect information from people with Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy in the UK to better understand the condition and find future trial participants.
-
Registry for Myotonic Dystrophy and Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy
This study is creating a registry for people with myotonic dystrophy or facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy to share their health information and connect with researchers working to learn more about these conditions.
