What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

Study groups in NCT02766985
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
FSHDParticipants with FSHD-1 or FSHD-2. No intervention is given to participants. Participants will undergo series of tests and procedures in order to make a standardized and scalable Rasch-built clinical severity scale.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. FSHD Clinical Severity Scale

    Measure severity of FSHD.

    Measured: 1 day

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Brooks scale

    Measures upper extremity function.Scores on the scale range from 1-6. A score of 1 means the person can elevate their arms above their head while arms remain straight. 6 means the person cannot elevate their arms to their mouth and do not have useful function of their hands.

    Measured: 1 day

  2. Vignos scale

    Measures lower extremity function. Scores on the scale range from 1-10. A score of 1 means the person can walk and climb stairs without assistance. A score of 10 means the person is bedridden.

    Measured: 1 day

  3. Iowa Oral Performance Instrument (IOPI)

    IOPI measures lip and tongue strength by measuring the amount of pressure a person can exert on the tool.

    Measured: 1 day

  4. Manual muscle testing

    Measure person's range of motion. Scored on a scale with range of 0-5. Score of 0 means no movement. Score of 5 means the person has a full range of movement.

    Measured: 1 day

  5. Quantitative strength testing

    Measured: 1 day

  6. Functional testing

    Measured: 1 day

  7. Reparatory function testing

    Measured: 1 day

  8. Patient-reported outcome

    Measured: 1 day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy, run by University of Kansas Medical Center at 2 sites 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 1 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Apr 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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?

FSHD Clinical Severity Scale (time frame: 1 day). 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 12 Apr 2018.
