Congenital Myotonic Dystrophy

This is a natural history study to improve the types of assessments and biological samples that will be used in clinical drug trials in both congenital myotonic dystrophy and childhood myotonic dystrophy.

The overall goal of the study is to establish valid clinical endpoint assessments for children with congenital myotonic dystrophy type 1 and develop biomarkers for the condition.

Myotonic dystrophy (DM) and facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) are inherited disorders characterized by progressive muscle weakness and loss of muscle tissue. The purpose of this registry is to connect people with DM or FSHD with researchers studying these diseases. The registry will offer individuals with DM and FSHD an opportunity to participate in research that focuses of their diseases. The registry will also help scientists to accomplish research on DM and FSHD and to distribute their findings to patients and care providers.

This treatment plan is limited to a single patient with Congenital Myotonic Dystrophy, who is ineligible or otherwise unable to participate in ongoing clinical trials.

This is an open-label phase 2/3 study for individuals with Congenital Myotonic Dystrophy (Congenital DM1) who participated in the preceding AMO-02-MD-2-003 study or individuals with either Congenital or Childhood Onset DM1 who are treatment naïve.

The Myotonic Dystrophy Family Registry (MDFR) is an online, patient-entered database that collects information on myotonic dystrophy (DM) to aid researchers in developing new, effective treatments and help identify participants for research studies and clinical trials.
