FSHD

A randomized Phase 2 study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of apitegromab as a monotherapy in participant with FSHD

A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Phase 3 Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Intravenous AOC 1020 for the Treatment of Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy (FSHD)

The primary goal of this proposal is to collect motor and functional outcomes specific to FSHD over time. By collecting measures specific to FSHD, this will help ensure the best level of clinical care is being provided. Also, the hope is to speed up drug development by gaining a better understanding of how having FSHD impacts motor function and other health outcomes (i.e. breathing, wheelchair use, etc.) and how big a change in motor function would be clinically meaningful to those with FSHD. Motor Outcomes to Validate Evaluations in FSHD (MOVE FSHD) will have approximately 450 FSHD participants followed for a minimum of 3 years. A subset of MOVE FSHD participants, approximately 200, will participate in the MOVE+ sub-study which includes whole body MRI and reachable workspace, as well as optional muscle biopsy and wearable device (US participants only).

BetterLife FSHD is a registry platform built to support people living with FSHD. It connects patients with personalized resources, tools, and research opportunities that match their health experiences and needs. At the same time, BetterLife collects secure health and experience data from patients to support research. This data is shared with researchers to help better understand FSHD and work toward improved care, treatments, and outcomes for the community. Learn more and enroll at: www.BetterLifeFSHD.org

The goal of this intervention study is to determine the effect of a tailored exercise program (with aerobic, strength and balance training) in patients with FSHD. The main aim is to determine the effect of the exercise program on pain and fatigue. Participants will follow a 16 week training program with tailored exercises. The exercises will be prescribed via the app 'Physitrack'. After 16 weeks, the effect on pain, fatigue, fatigability, aerobic capacity, balance, physical function, sleep and the ability to participate in social activities will be determined.
