About this study

Official title: Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy in Norway. Genotype/Phenotype in Patients Younger Than 18 Years, With a Main Focus on Growth, Puberty, Bone Health and Quality of Life.

The study will give a consent based epidemiological overview of Norwegian patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy younger than 18 years of age. Genotype of the population will be described. Longitudinal development of growth, bone health, and , when applicable, puberty over a two year period will be studied. Questionnaires regarding quality of life will also be an important part of the study.

Read the detailed description

The participants who are not regularly seen at our regional hospital, are recruited via their local neuropediatrician. Patients who do not come to our region hospital will be seen at their local hospital.Each participant will be seen up to three times with one year between each visit. The visits include clinical examination, DXA scan, x-ray for bone age, and blood tests including several parameters related to bone health, growth and puberty. Standardized questionnaires regarding quality of life (patients and parents) will be used, and certain questions regarding the importance of achieving normal height and puberty will be added. Additional anamnestic data will be retrieved from the patients' medical records.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, run by Oslo University Hospital at 1 site in Norway.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Sep 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Norway. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Genotype (time frame: 1 day (At first visit)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 25 Sep 2017.
