What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
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
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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 looks at whether levels of a protein called HMGB1 are different in people with LAMA2-related muscular dystrophy, a condition that causes severe muscle weakness. Researchers will measure HMGB1 in blood and muscle samples already collected from about 25 patients. The goal is to understand if HMGB1 could be a target for future therapies, but this study itself does not test any treatment.

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 HMGB1 levels are linked to disease severity, this could pave the way for a new companion therapy for muscular dystrophies.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, so it won't directly test any treatment. The findings may not lead to a therapy, and results from a small group may not apply to everyone.

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.

Show the full entry requirements

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

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Patients affected by LAMA2-related muscular dystrophy (LAMA2-RD) actively enrolled in the LAMA2\_GUP24002 study. 2. Patients who have ALREADY SIGNED the informed consent for participation in the LAMA2\_GUP24002 study, including the separate biobank-specific consent (INSPE BIOBANK CONSENT), with consent provided directly by adult patients or, in the case of minors, by their parents or legal guardians. Exclusion Criteria: An individual who meets any of the following criteria will be excluded from participation in this study: 1. Withdrawal of informed consent (to the LAMA2\_GUP24002 study or to biobanking) prior to laboratory analysis. 2. Insufficient or degraded biological material (e.g., depleted aliquots; volumes below assay requirements; biopsy not representative of LAMA2-RD muscle). 3. Re-classification of diagnosis as a non-LAMA2-RD condition after the original enrolment in the LAMA2\_GUP24002 study.
