Natural History Study of BAG3 Heart Disease in Chinese Adults
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study follows adults with a specific genetic mutation (BAG3) that causes heart muscle weakness. Researchers will track how the disease develops over time to better understand it and help improve future treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have been diagnosed with a BAG3 gene mutation (confirmed by genetic testing)
- You have heart failure that is Stage B or C, with mild to moderate symptoms (NYHA Class I–III)
- Your heart's pumping ability is reduced (LVEF of 50% or lower, confirmed by heart ultrasound or MRI within the past year)
- You are able and willing to attend all study visits and follow all study procedures
- You have not had a major heart event or surgery in the past 1–3 months

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at people with cardiomyopathy (or related heart muscle conditions) and those who may be at risk because of family history or genetic test results. It may help researchers better understand who is likely to develop the condition and how best to monitor or support them.
This study follows people with a specific genetic change in the BAG3 gene that causes dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), a condition where the heart muscle is weakened. It aims to understand the natural course of the disease over time.
This trial tests a gene therapy (AFTX-201) for people with dilated cardiomyopathy caused by a BAG3 gene mutation. The therapy aims to improve heart function, and the study will check if it is safe and effective.
This study tests an experimental gene therapy called ALXN2350 for people with dilated cardiomyopathy caused by a specific genetic change in the BAG3 gene. It aims to see if the therapy can improve heart function and slow disease progression.
This trial tests a one-time gene therapy called RP-A701 for people with dilated cardiomyopathy caused by a BAG3 gene mutation. The goal is to see if it is safe and can improve heart function.
This is an observational study that follows children under 18 with cardiomyopathy caused by certain MYBPC3 gene mutations. It aims to better understand how the disease changes over time, which may help future treatments be better targeted.
