Study summary

Observational, noninterventional, 3-year study to examine the presence of detectable differences in neurocognitive, developmental, motor, neurophysiologic, and quality of life measures over time in patients with cyclin-dependent kinase-like 5 deficiency disorder.

Read the detailed description

This is an observational study to examine the presence of detectable differences in neurocognitive, developmental, motor, neurophysiologic, and quality of life measures over time in approximately up to 100 patients aged birth to 55 years and diagnosed with cyclin-dependent kinase-like 5 deficiency disorder. Operational performance across age groups and languages will be assessed throughout the study, and Baseline cohort characteristics will be assessed throughout enrollment.

Study population

This is a multi-center study to be conducted in multiple countries. The study will enroll patients diagnosed with Cyclin-dependent Kinase-like 5 (CDKL5) deficiency disorder, from birth to 55 years of age, at a participating site.

Inclusion criteria

  1. Documented diagnosis of Cyclin-dependent Kinase-like 5 (CDKL5) deficiency disorder with pathogenic or likely pathogenic of CDKL5 variants
  2. Ages newborn to 55 years old
  3. Parent/Caregiver who is willing and capable of providing written informed consent
  4. Parent/caregiver lives with or has daily contact with study participant and able to provide consistent information across the study

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Any clinically significant neurocognitive deficit not attributable to Cyclin-dependent Kinase-like 5 (CDKL5) deficiency disorder or a secondary cause that may, in the opinion of the investigator, confound interpretation of study results (e.g., extreme prematurity, other genetic variants, unclassified CDKL5 variant, abnormal brain imaging, imaging and/or injury not otherwise attributable to CDD).
  2. Any condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, would put the patient at undue risk or make it unsafe for the patient to participate
  3. Any condition which would make the individual or the caregiver, in the opinion of the investigator, unsuitable for the study

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Bayley Scale of Infant and Toddler Development, Fourth Edition (BSID-4)

    Suitability of this cognition and global development scale in CDD will be assessed based on the number of tests completed, ceiling/floor effect and variance estimate.

    Time frame: Baseline

  2. Vineland 3

    Suitability of this adaptive behavior scale in CDD will be assessed based on the number of tests completed, ceiling/floor effect and variance estimate.

    Time frame: Baseline

  3. Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM)

    Suitability of this motor function scale in CDD will be assessed based on the number of tests completed, ceiling/floor effect and variance estimate.

    Time frame: Baseline

  4. Sleep Disturbance Scale for Children (SDSC)

    Suitability of this sleep quality scale in CDD will be assessed based on the number of tests completed, ceiling/floor effect and variance estimate.

    Time frame: Baseline

Secondary outcomes

  1. Changes in test results over time.

    Time frame: 36 months

  2. Correlations between age and test results.

    Time frame: 36 months

  3. Correlations between gender and test results.

    Time frame: 36 months

  4. Correlation between test results and seizure severity.

    Time frame: 36 months
