Sponsor

Nationwide Children's Hospital

Enrollment

44 participants

Start Date

May 12, 2025

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

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


Eligibility

Max Age: 5 Years

Inclusion Criteria7

  • Signed informed consent by the subject, parent(s) or legally authorized representative (LAR) and/or assent by the subject (when applicable).
  • Subject must be aged birth to less than 5.0 years of age at time of consent.
  • A confirmed diagnosis of LAMA2-RD confirmed via:
  • a: Two pathogenic variants in the LAMA2 gene (via a CLIA-approved laboratory) or: b. muscle biopsy with absence of merosin (laminin-211) and at least one pathogenic variant in the LAMA2 gene
  • Absence of another confirmed genetic disease.
  • Willingness to maintain current exercise and/or physical therapy regimen for the duration of the clinical study.
  • Willingness to comply with the study protocol, including but not limited to, all study procedures and visits.

Exclusion Criteria3

  • Acute medical illness or hospitalization within 30 days prior to informed consent.
  • Participation in a previous trial of any investigational agent for LAMA2-RD within 1 month prior to informed consent, or use of any other investigational therapy (including off-label use of Losartan) within 30 days prior to informed consent, or participation in other clinical studies, within 30 days (or 3 half-lives, whichever is longer) prior to informed consent, which in the opinion of the PI, may potentially confound results from this study.
  • Other significant medical condition, which in the opinion of the site Principal Investigator may confound interpretation of the clinical course of LAMA2- RD.
