New study tracks muscle decline in rare muscular dystrophy
NCT ID NCT06390566
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study follows 25 people with limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2A (LGMD2A), a rare genetic disease that causes progressive muscle weakness. Researchers will measure how muscle strength changes over time and how it affects quality of life. The goal is to better understand the disease's natural course, which could help design future treatments.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Confirmed diagnosis of autosomal recessive LGMD2A (two pathogenic mutations in the calpain 3 gene) * Ability to participate in the tests and examinations planned by the study (manual muscle tests, motor scales) * Informed and having signed a consent form * Affiliate to a social security scheme in France (beneficiary or entitled person). Exclusion Criteria: * Patient with another disease likely to significantly interfere with the interpretation of the natural history of LGMD2A * Participant in a clinical trial with an investigational product within 3 months preceding inclusion * Patient unable or unwilling to comply with protocol requirements * Patient under guardianship, curatorship or legal protection * Pregnant or breastfeeding woman * Patient deprived of liberty * Adult patient unable to express consent * Refusal to participate
