Natural History Study of Batten Disease

April 1, 2022 updated by: Amicus Therapeutics
This is a multicenter, international, study to assess the natural history data from people with Batten disease by collecting both retrospective and prospective information about the motor, behavioral and functional capabilities of patients. The study initially has 2 cohorts. Cohort 1 (n ≈ 75) includes subjects with CLN6 Batten disease. Cohort 2 (n ≈ 120) includes subjects with juvenile CLN3 Batten disease. Additional cohorts for other Batten disease subtypes may be added in the future.

Study Population

Subjects diagnosed with CLN3 or CLN6 and their parents/legal guardians are eligible to take part in this study.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Subject has or had a diagnosis of CLN6 or CLN3 Batten disease that has been confirmed by genotyping (documented presence of a variant on both gene alleles). Confirmation of genotyping will be performed prior to enrollment.
  • Subject (or legally authorized representative) has provided written informed consent (or assent) and authorization for use and disclosure of personal health information or research related health information
  • Subjects may enroll starting from birth

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Subject has or had experienced another illness that is known to cause cognitive decline (eg, trauma, meningitis, hemorrhage)
  • Subject received or receives an investigational gene therapy

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Assess the change over time in rating as determined using the Unified Batten Disease Rating Scale (UBDRS).
Time Frame: 10 years
The UBDRS is a clinical ratings instrument used specifically to assess motor, seizure, behavioral and functional capabilities.
10 years
Assess the change over time in rating as determined using the Hamburg Scale.
Time Frame: 10 years
The Hamburg scale is an established tool to capture the rate of decline or regression.
10 years
Assess the change over time in cognitive function using Mullen Scales of Early Learning (for children up to 60 months old).
Time Frame: 10 years
10 years
Assess the change over time in cognitive function using WPPSI-IV (for children up to 7 years 7 months old).
Time Frame: 10 years
10 years
Assess the change over time in cognitive function using WISC-V (for patients older than 6 years old).
Time Frame: 10 years
10 years
Characterize the age of onset of disease, including the timing of both the loss of capacities and the emergence of disease-related signs and symptoms
Time Frame: 10 years
