Early brain scans for babies with ataxia telangiectasia
Part of Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study looks at brain scans and other tests in babies and young children with ataxia telangiectasia (A-T), a rare genetic condition that affects movement and coordination. The goal is to find early signs of the condition to help plan future treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child has a confirmed genetic diagnosis of ataxia telangiectasia (A-T).
- Your child is under 2 years old when they first join the study.
- Your child does not have any other genetic brain or nerve condition.
- Your child is not currently taking a treatment that targets brain degeneration in A-T, or taking part in a trial for such a treatment.
- Your child is able to have an MRI scan (no metal implants or other reasons that make MRI unsafe).

This trial tests a new genetic medicine designed for people with A-T who have a specific ATM gene change. It aims to see if the treatment is safe and if it can improve symptoms.
This study looks at how the brain “mirrors” or responds to actions, with the goal of finding early signs of neurodevelopmental disorders. It includes healthy adults and infants, and infants who may be at risk, to compare brain patterns early on.
This study uses a safe, non-invasive ultrasound technique to measure brain activity in newborn babies. It aims to understand brain development and connectivity in preterm infants, infants with birth-related oxygen deprivation, growth-restricted babies, siblings of children with autism, and healthy full-term babies.
This study tracks how ataxias and related movement disorders progress over time. By joining, you help researchers learn more about these conditions and prepare for future treatments.
This study uses safe MRI scans during natural sleep to look at how babies' brains develop, especially those at risk for cerebral palsy. It aims to find early signs of movement problems so treatment can start sooner.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment (called cerebellar transcranial magnetic stimulation) can help improve balance and coordination in people with spinocerebellar ataxia. It may offer a new way to ease symptoms without surgery.
