Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease
MONDO:0015626An inherited degenerative disorder involving the peripheral nerves. It is caused by mutations in the genes that are responsible for the production of proteins necessary for the function and structure of the peripheral nerves. It is characterized by muscle atrophy and weakness in the feet, legs, hands, and arms and loss of sensation in the limbs.
Also known as: hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy, hereditary sensorimotor neuropathy, CMT, CMT/HMSN, Charcot Marie Tooth muscular atrophy, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, Charcot-Marie-Tooth hereditary neuropathy, peroneal muscular atrophy

New pill could slow MS relapses and disability
Disease control OngoingThis Phase 3 trial tests whether the oral drug remibrutinib works better than teriflunomide at reducing relapses and slowing disability in people with relapsing multiple sclerosis. About 1,000 adults aged 18–55 with active MS are taking part. The study is double-blind, meaning ne…

New pill could tame MS relapses
Disease control OngoingThis Phase 3 trial tests remibrutinib, an oral tablet, against teriflunomide in 1000 adults with relapsing multiple sclerosis. The goal is to see if remibrutinib better reduces yearly relapse rates and delays disability. Participants will then have the option to continue remibrut…

MS patients switch meds: will a cheaper option work just as well?
Disease control OngoingThis study looks at people with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis who switched from the drug MabThera to a similar, lower-cost medicine called Rixathon. Researchers want to see if the switch changes signs of nerve damage, new brain lesions, relapses, or disability. They will…

One-Person trial aims to treat rare nerve disorder with custom drug
Disease control ENROLLING_BY_INVITATIONThis study tests a custom-made drug called an antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) designed for one person with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2D (CMT2D) caused by a specific GARS1 gene mutation. The drug aims to improve motor skills and quality of life. Only one participant is enro…

One-Patient trial hopes to fix rare nerve disease at its genetic root
Disease control OngoingThis study tests a custom-made drug (VCA-894A) in a single person with a rare genetic nerve disease called CMT2S. The drug is designed to correct a specific genetic error and restore a missing protein. The main goals are to check if the treatment is safe and if it can improve mus…

Blood pressure clues may predict early death after heart attack
Knowledge-focused OngoingThis study examines whether a low pulse pressure (the difference between top and bottom blood pressure numbers) in the first hours after a cardiac arrest is linked to early death. Researchers will analyze data from 3500 patients who had a cardiac arrest outside the hospital and a…

New study aims to catch brain damage in babies after heart surgery
Knowledge-focused ENROLLING_BY_INVITATIONThis study follows 30 infants with congenital heart disease who need heart surgery. Researchers will use blood tests, EEG brain wave monitoring, and MRI scans to look for signs of brain injury. The goal is to find better ways to detect brain damage early and identify which childr…
