About this study

Official title: Development and Validation of a Disability Severity Index for Charcot Marie Tooth Disease

It is necessary for outcome measures to accurately reflect the state of health of a person in order for clinical trials to show benefit. The most commonly used outcome measure for Charcot Marie Tooth Disease (CMT) is the CMT Neuropathy Score, which uses cutoffs of points designated as mild (0-10 points), moderate (11-20) or severe (21-36). These terms are arbitrary. This study is looking to base mild, moderate, and severe on what both people affected with CMT and those who provide for people with CMT consider appropriate.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Charcot Marie Tooth Disease, run by University of Iowa at 1 site in United States.

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

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. 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?

Compare Patient and Healthcare Provider impressions of what constitutes mild, moderate and severe impairment in CMT (time frame: 1 year). 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 26 Mar 2014.
