What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing This study
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study gathers health information from children under 18 who have cardiomyopathy linked to mutations in the MYBPC3 gene. Researchers aim to map the disease's natural course, identify risk factors, and measure how it affects quality of life. By reviewing past and future medical data, they hope to better understand the condition and inform care for affected children.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this study could clarify how MYBPC3-related cardiomyopathy progresses in children, guiding future treatments and care strategies.
What could go wrong
This is an observational registry, not a treatment trial, so it won't directly test a therapy. Data collection depends on available records and participant enrollment, which may limit conclusions.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Retrospective Inclusion Criteria: * Data is available for patient \<18 years of age. Patients must be \<18 years of age at enrollment or at time of death. * Documented results of genotyping showing the presence of at least one pathogenic or likely pathogenic MYBPC3 mutation (heterozygous, homozygous, or compound heterozygous). Exclusion Criteria: * Patient received cardiac transplantation or died \>10 years before study initiation. For homozygous or biallelic infants, data may be collected beyond this 10-year period. Prospective Inclusion Criteria: For Infants: * Infants who are homozygous or compound heterozygous for the known pathogenic truncating MYBPC3 mutations are eligible. For all other participants: * Age \<18 at entry into the prospective study. * Documented results of genotyping identifying at least one pathogenic or likely pathogenic MYBPC3 mutation (heterozygous, homozygous, or compound heterozygous). * Diagnosis of Cardiomyopathy (CM): HCM, DCM, RCM, mixed CM, or LVNC. Exclusion Criteria: * Concurrent participation in an interventional clinical trial unless approved by the sponsor. * Severe noncardiac disease anticipated to significantly reduce life expectancy.
