A Prospective Natural History and Outcome Measure Discovery Study of Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease, Type 4J (CMT4J)

July 7, 2026 updated by: Elpida Therapeutics SPC
This is a multicenter, longitudinal, prospective observational natural history study of subjects with a molecularly confirmed diagnosis of CMT4J. The study will enroll 20 subjects of any age into a uniform protocol for follow-up and evaluations. Subject visits will occur every 12 months + 4 weeks for up to 2 years.

Detailed Description

This is a multicenter, longitudinal, prospective observational natural history study of subjects with a molecularly confirmed diagnosis of CMT4J. The study will enroll 20 subjects of any age into a uniform protocol for follow-up and evaluations. The study will obtain demographic and medical history information. Natural history data will be collected prospectively on an annual basis and may include physical/neurological exams, standard laboratory tests, CMT outcome and disability measures, neuropsychological tests, nerve conduction studies (NCS), and imaging studies (muscle MRI). Pulmonary function test (PFT) and scoliosis series x-ray Subject visits will occur every 12 months + 4 weeks for up to 2 years. Subjects who terminate from the study prior to Visit 3 will undergo an early termination/end of study visit (EOS) if possible. The early termination/end of study visit is comprised of the Visit 3 assessments. If needed, the Investigator may conduct unscheduled visits with Sponsor's approval. No investigational product will be used during the study.

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

  • Child
  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Subjects with a genetically confirmed diagnosis of CMT4J will be included.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Male or female, all ages
  2. A molecularly-confirmed diagnosis of CMT4J (confirmed by a CLIA certified, CE-marked, or equivalent lab): Genomic DNA mutation analysis demonstrating 1) bi-allelic pathogenic and/or likely pathogenic variants (by ACMG criteria) in the FIG4 gene, or 2) bi-allelic variants with one pathogenic and/or likely pathogenic variant in trans with a variant of uncertain significance if laboratory evidence and expert consensus exits in support of loss of FIG4 function exists.
  3. Informed consent from patients 18 years or older who are able to provide consent and from caregivers; parent(s)/guardian(s) providing consent for subjects younger than 18 years at Screening and patients older than 18 years unable to provide informed consent
  4. Informed assent of patients younger than 18 years at Screening who are able to provide assent
  5. Able and willing to comply with the study protocol, including travel to Study Center, procedures, measurements and visits

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Any known genetic abnormality, including chromosomal aberrations that confound the clinical phenotype
  2. Current participation in an interventional or therapeutic study
  3. Receiving an investigational drug within 90 days of the Baseline Visit
  4. Prior or current treatment with gene or stem cell therapy
  5. Any other diseases which may significantly interfere with the assessment of CMT4J
  6. Have any other conditions, which, in the opinion of the Investigator or Sponsor would make the subject unsuitable for inclusion or could interfere with the subject participating in or completing the study

Study record dates

These dates track the progress of study record and summary results submissions to ClinicalTrials.gov. Study records and reported results are reviewed by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to make sure they meet specific quality control standards before being posted on the public website.

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.
July 29, 2024

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). The "anticipated" study completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the study completion date.
