A Study of the Natural History of Participants With LGMD2E/R4, LGMD2D/R3, LGMD2C/R5, and LGMD2A/R1 ≥ 4 Years of Age, Who Are Managed in Routine Clinical Practice

November 4, 2025 updated by: Sarepta Therapeutics, Inc.

Journey: A Global, Multicenter, Longitudinal Study of the Natural History of Subjects With Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy (LGMD) Type 2E (LGMD2E/R4), Type 2D (LGMD2D/R3), Type 2C (LGMD2C/R5), and Type 2A (LGMD2A/R1)

This study will follow participants who are screened and confirmed with a genetic diagnosis of Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2E (LGMD2E/R4), Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2D (LGMD2D/R3), Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2C (LGMD2C/R5), or Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2A (LGMD2A/R1).

These enrolled participants will be followed to evaluate mobility and pulmonary function for up to 5 years after enrollment for participants with LGMD2C/R5, LGMD2D/R3, and LGMD2E/R4 with a North Star Assessment for Dysferlinopathy (NSAD) ≥ 25 at Baseline, up to 3 years for participants with LGMD2C/R5, LGMD2D/R3, and LGMD2E/R4 with a NSAD < 25 at Baseline, and up to 3 years for participants with LGMD2A/R1. Additional participant data will be collected from the time the individual began experiencing LGMD symptoms to the present.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

4 years and older (Child, Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

The population for this study is ambulatory or non-ambulatory participants ≥ 4 years of age with confirmed genetic diagnosis of LGMD2E/R4, LGMD2D/R3, LGMD2C/R5, or LGMD2A/R1.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Male or female participant ≥ 4 years of age who demonstrate symptoms of LGMD2E/R4, LGMD2D/R3, LGMD2C/R5, or LGMD2A/R1 in the opinion of the investigator (eg, muscle weakness, loss of function, delayed milestones).
  • Confirmed clinical and genetic diagnosis of LGMD2E/R4, LGMD2D/R3, LGMD2C/R5, or LGMD2A/R1.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Demonstrates cognitive delay or impairment that could confound motor development, in the opinion of the Investigator.
  • Has a medical condition, in the opinion of the Investigator, that might compromise participants ability to comply with study requirements.

Study Major Dates

Study Start (Actual)

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.

Primary Completion (Estimated)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.

Study Completion (Estimated)

Study Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention/treatment to collect final data for the primary outcome measures, secondary outcome measures, and adverse events (that is, the last participant's last visit).
