Study summary

The goal of this observational study is to learn about the natural progression of Angelman syndrome (AS) in children and adults with a confirmed genetic diagnosis of AS. The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • How do developmental skills, such as communication, motor abilities, and adaptive behaviors, change over a 1-year period in people with AS?
  • Are there specific patterns in brain activity or sleep that are associated with changes in AS symptoms over time?

Participants will:

  • Attend 3 in-person and 2 virtual study visits over 1 year for assessments.
  • Complete tests and questionnaires about development, behaviors, and sleep with the help of their caregivers.
  • Undergo electroencephalograms (EEGs) to measure brain activity and wear a sleep-monitoring device at home (to collect actigraphy data).
Read the detailed description
  • Longitudinal, natural history study of 40 individuals with AS, enriched for a child and adolescent population.
  • Seeks to establish normative data to inform future design and interpretation of clinical trials for AS and to support the development of more precise diagnostic tools and targeted therapeutic interventions for AS.
  • Track adaptive behavior, communication, challenging behaviors, general health, overall disease severity, and common co-occurring conditions (including epilepsy and sleep disturbances) through standardized assessments.
  • Biomarker data collected through EEGs and actigraphy recordings will be analyzed to assess age-related changes in clinical outcomes and neurophysiological measures.
  • Participants will attend up to 5 study visits over the course of 12 months: Week 0, Week 13, Week 26, Week 39, Week 52. Weeks 0, 26, 52 will be in-person. Weeks 13 and 39 will be remote.

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

  • The participant has a primary clinical diagnosis of Angelman syndrome with documented genetic variation(s) affecting the function of the UBE3A gene within the human 15q11.2-q13.3 locus. Co-occurring conditions (e.g., autism spectrum disorder, cerebral palsy, intellectual disability) are permitted; however, Angelman syndrome must be the primary clinical diagnosis.
  • The participant is male or female (assigned sex at birth) and aged ≥1 year at the initial study visit.
  • The participant has a study partner who meets the study partner criteria below.
  • The participant, if unable to provide , has an appropriate surrogate who is at least 18 years of age and willing and able to provide informed consent on behalf of the participant in accordance with current International Council for Harmonisation (ICH) guidelines and applicable institutional regulations.

Individuals must satisfy the following criteria to be enrolled as study partners:

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(7)

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.

Childbearing potential

Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).

Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

Clinically significant

Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.

Cancer (malignancy)

Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.

Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

Contraindication

A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.

Groups and cohorts

  • Participants aged 1-17 years (inclusive)

    * Cohort 1: Participants aged at least 1 year old and less than 18 years old at the time of enrollment with genetically confirmed AS. * This cohort serves as the broad group for assessing the natural history of AS across childhood and adolescence.

  • Participants aged 1-12 years (inclusive)

    * Cohort 2: Participants aged at least 1 year old and younger than 13 years old at the time of enrollment with genetically confirmed AS. * A subset of Cohort 1, specifically focused on preadolescents. * This cohort aims to capture developmental milestones and changes during a critical period of growth where potential therapeutic interventions may have the most significant impact. * Participants aged 1-12 years will first be assigned to Cohort 2 until its capacity is reached. Once Cohort 2 is full, participants aged 1-12 years will be enrolled in Cohort 1 only.

  • Participants aged 18 years and older

    * Cohort 3: Participants aged at least 18 years old. * This cohort is limited to up to 5 participants to explore the natural history of AS in adults, though it is not the primary focus of this study.

References and documents

Individual participant data

Plan to share: No — There is no plan to externally share IPD at this time, due to considerations regarding participant privacy, the risk of reidentification given the size and vulnerability of the study population, and limitations in the consent materials and protocol, which do not currently permit external data sharing. Institutional policy requires specific Data Use Agreements (DUAs) for any data sharing activity, and the study is protected by a Certificate of Confidentiality, further restricting disclosure of identifiable information. The research team may consider sharing de-identified data in the future, contingent upon publication of results and implementation of robust governance and approval mechanisms.

No publications or documents are linked to this record.

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.
