Major study aims to better measure muscular dystrophy progression
NCT ID NCT05989620
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This 24-month observational study will follow up to 1000 people with certain types of muscular dystrophy (LGMD, DM2, and late-onset Pompe disease) aged 6-50. Researchers want to see if specific physical tests, like the North Star Assessment and a 100-meter walk, are good ways to track the disease over time. The goal is to improve how we measure the condition in future studies, not to test a new treatment.
