Study summary

This study is to recruit and establish baseline measurements for potential subjects that may be eligible for a gene therapy trial. Specifically, this trial is recruiting individuals who are suspected or have been confirmed to have Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy type 2E (LGMD2E).

Read the detailed description

This is a longitudinal observational study. It is a 24-month study with the possibility of extending the data time points. Visits will occur monthly. However, at the discretion of the PI, subjects may not be required to return monthly. These subjects may return at intervals ranging from 2 months to a max of 6 months apart.

In the situation that the subjects would fall out of the inclusion criteria or not be eligible for the LGMD2E gene therapy trial, they will be given the opportunity to roll over into the Natural History for LGMD (IRB17-01086). If a subject is invited to screen for the gene therapy trial they will discontinue this trial. By being in this study, it is not a guarantee that subjects will be invited to screen for the LGMD2E gene therapy trial.

Study population

  • Confirmed LGMD2E diagnosis by genetic testing or
  • Suspected of having LGMD type 2E due to symptoms and a diagnosed family member or a member of a community with a large population of one of these two types

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Age 3-15 inclusive
  • Males or females of any ethnic group
  • SGCB DNA gene mutations at both alleles or suspected to have LGMD2E based on family and medical history. If suspected, genetic testing will be performed to confirm diagnosis.
  • Weakness demonstrated based on history of difficulty running, jumping and climbing stairs
  • Ability to complete 100MW timed test within 30-90% predicted
  • Perform assessments to the best of their ability with reliable results as deemed by the evaluator.
  • Ability to attend scheduled appointments
  • Ability to provide (or assent for ages 9-15)

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Confirmed diagnosis of neuromuscular disorder other than LGMD2E
  • Has a medical condition or extenuating circumstance that, in the opinion of the investigator, might compromise the subject's ability to comply with the protocol required testing or procedures or compromise the subject's wellbeing, safety, or clinical interpretability
  • Subjects with AAVrh74 binding antibody titers > 1:400 as determined by ELISA immunoassay. If endpoint titer is positive at screening, testing may be repeated in 1 month. Antibody testing will be performed on a separate study (IRB17-01101).
  • Diagnosis of (or ongoing treatment for) an disease
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(2)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Autoimmune disease

A condition in which the immune system attacks the body’s own tissues, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriasis, type 1 diabetes or inflammatory bowel disease.

Immunotherapy studies often leave out active autoimmune disease, and some name exceptions, such as thyroid disease on replacement hormone. Check the exceptions this study lists.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Mar 6, 2023, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
