Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The primary goal of this study is to validate motor and functional outcomes and refine clinical trial strategies for pediatric-onset FSHD

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

MOVE Peds is a prospective 2-year study recruiting eighty pediatric participants to accelerate therapeutic development for pediatric-onset FSHD. The study aims to validate outcomes and refine clinical trial strategies. Previous cross-sectional studies suggest that younger age of onset is linked to greater clinical severity and that having 1-3 D4Z4 repeats is associated with extra-muscular complications in pediatric FSHD.

Prospective studies in early-onset FSHD have been limited by the small number of sites and low recruitment and follow-up rates. Early-onset pediatric FSHD is of high interest to drug companies because:

1. It results in a more significant disease burden than in adults.
2. Treating FSHD at earlier ages may have a more lasting and profound effect.
3. Genetic, molecular, and clinical factors may differ between pediatric and adult-onset FSHD.
4. Smaller body size and faster progression rates may make AAV-delivered gene therapies more feasible.

The FSHD CTRN's previous research showed that the FSHD composite functional measure (FSHD-COM), reachable workspace (RWS), and quantitative MRI measures (qMRI) are responsive to disease progression or treatment in adults with FSHD and correlate with performance. Investigators hypothesize that early changes in qMRI in pediatric subjects will predict 2-year changes in FSHD-COM Peds or RWS.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Cohort One

Cohort One will be individuals who are able to complete the 10 meter walk/run test in less than twelve seconds

No interventions assigned to this group

Cohort Two

cohort two will be individuals who complete the 10 meter walk/run test in more than 12 seconds or is no longer able to complete.

No interventions assigned to this group

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Age 5-17 years.
* Genetically confirmed FSHD (types 1 or 2).
* Symptomatic weakness (facial, shoulder, core, or limb weakness)
* Able to complete a 10-meter walk without the support of another person in less than 12 seconds (canes, walking sticks, and braces allowed; no walker). In order to include early onset participants up to 8 individuals will be entered with baseline 10MWR \> 12 seconds or who are no longer ambulatory (≤10%)

Exclusion Criteria

* Unwilling or unable to provide informed consent or assent. Any other medical condition which in the opinion of the investigator would interfere with study participation.
* Malignancy with ongoing treatment with chemotherapeutic agents or anabolic agents
* Use of immunosuppressants including prednisone or performance enhancing drugs including testosterone within 6 months
* Pregnancy
* Recent or ongoing infection
* Presence of contraindication to performance of MRI: pacemaker, metallic foreign body in eye, brain aneurysm clip (unless documented as MRI compatible)
* In the opinion of the investigator unable to follow directions for standardized testing
