NCT ID NCT07477509
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study collects blood, skin, and spinal fluid samples along with health information from 2,500 adults with neuromuscular diseases like ALS, neuropathy, and muscular dystrophy. The goal is to store these samples and share them with researchers to speed up discoveries about how these diseases work and how to diagnose and treat them better. Participants are patients at Northwestern Memorial Hospital who agree to donate samples and allow their health data to be tracked over time.
