Liver health study for boys with XLMTM
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at how the liver works in boys with a serious muscle condition called XLMTM. It checks whether their liver is healthy, which may help doctors better understand the condition and guide future treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your son must have a confirmed diagnosis of XLMTM, a genetic muscle condition, based on a genetic test.
- Your son must need some kind of breathing support, such as a ventilator or a CPAP/BiPAP mask (used during sleep or all day).
- You and your son (if able) must agree to follow the study schedule and tests.
- Your son cannot be enrolled in another clinical trial that is testing a treatment for XLMTM.

This study tests a new gene therapy called ASP2957 in young boys with X-linked myotubular myopathy who are dependent on a ventilator. The goal is to see if it can help improve their breathing and muscle strength.
This study follows young children with LAMA2-related congenital muscular dystrophy to learn more about the disease. It does not test a new treatment, so it may help families understand the condition better and prepare for future trials.
This study follows people with LAMA2-related muscular dystrophy over time to better understand the condition. It may help with future treatments by learning more about how the disease progresses.
This study tracks changes in muscle strength and breathing over time in people with certain types of muscular dystrophy. It helps researchers develop better tests to measure how the disease progresses.
This study follows children with LAMA2-related muscular dystrophy to learn how the condition changes over time. It does not test a new treatment, but helps researchers understand the disease better.
This natural history study follows children and adults with suspected or confirmed mitochondrial myopathy to better understand symptoms and how the condition changes. It may also include healthy participants to compare test results and improve future treatments.
