Oral health and saliva study in OPMD patients and families
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study looks at the mouth health and saliva of people with OPMD and their household members. By understanding saliva changes, researchers hope to learn more about the disease and find ways to help manage symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You or your spouse or someone you live with has been diagnosed with OPMD (a muscle condition that affects the eyes and throat).
- You are not pregnant and do not have any other illness that could affect your saliva.

This trial tests an experimental gene therapy (BB-301) for people with OPMD who have trouble swallowing. It involves a one-time injection into the throat muscles during a short surgery, and researchers will check if it is safe and improves swallowing.
This study is building a national registry (a database) for people with Oculo-Pharyngeal Muscular Dystrophy (OPMD) in Israel. Joining will help researchers understand how OPMD progresses over time and may lead to better care.
This study examines saliva levels of a protein called mitofusin in people with healthy gums, gingivitis, or periodontitis. It looks at how this protein might relate to gum disease severity.
This study looks at certain proteins in saliva and how they relate to cavities in people with osteoporosis. Researchers compare these markers in patients with osteoporosis and in healthy people to understand more about bone and dental health.
This study gathers saliva samples from people with MuSK myasthenia gravis to better understand the condition. Participation involves providing a saliva sample and sharing your lab results.
This study looks at diseases that involve the salivary (saliva) glands, and may also include people with active hepatitis, oral cancer, or healthy adults. Researchers collect blood, urine, saliva, and sometimes tissue to better understand what’s happening and how these conditions relate to saliva and oral health.
