The goal of this clinical trial is to learn how safe and tolerable EPI-321 is and whether there may be early signs it is working in male or female adult (18 to 75 years) participants with facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) Type 1 condition. The main questions it aims to answer are: How safe is EPI-321 and how well can people handle it over time? How does EPI-321 interact with its target and does it show early signs of working? Participants will receive a single dose of EPI-321 through a vein while being closely watched in a hospital and visit the clinic regularly for tests and checkups for about 5 years after getting EPI-321.

Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is characterized by clinical diversity, with FSHD1 being the most common form. It is associated with a toxic gain of function of the Double homeobox 4 (DUX4) gene, leading to muscle cell death and weakness. Despite the lack of approved treatments, recent studies highlight inflammation's role in early FSHD progression, triggered by inappropriate DUX4 expression. In understanding inflammation's pivotal role in FSHD, a study assessed serum cytokines in 100 adult FSHD1 patients. Out of the 20 cytokines examined, 10 showed significantly altered expression levels compared to healthy controls of similar age and sex. FSHD1 patients exhibited heightened levels of inflammatory cytokines and diminished anti-inflammatory cytokines, signaling chronic inflammation. Notably, Interleukin-6 (IL-6) emerged as a promising disease activity biomarker, displaying robust correlations with established clinical severity and functional scores. Given the pathological significance of inflammation and the correlation of IL-6 levels with disease severity, the ReInForce study will explore the satralizumab, an IL6-receptor (IL6-R) antagonist, for its efficacy in specifically reducing muscle and systemic inflammation. By antagonizing IL-6R downstream signaling, satralizumab holds promise in mitigating inflammation and potentially curtailing fibrofatty degeneration in FSHD.

Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is one of the most common types of muscular dystrophy, affecting about 4 out of 100,000 individuals. The disease is characterized by progressive muscle loss (i.e., muscle atrophy) commonly affecting the face, shoulders, and upper arm muscles. The muscle loss ultimately results in reduced strength and impaired physical performance. At present there is no cure for FSHD, therefore, physicians have focused on therapeutic interventions to help alleviate these symptoms. Daily consumption of adequate amounts of dietary protein is essential to support muscle mass maintenance and overall health and function across the lifespan. However, previous research has reported inadequate protein intake in individuals with FSHD. The characteristic of progressive muscle loss in individuals with FSHD and other muscular dystrophies is ultimately due to an imbalance in the rate of muscle building (i.e., muscle protein synthesis) and muscle breakdown (i.e., muscle protein breakdown), where individuals with FSHD have been shown to have reduced rates of muscle building. As inadequate protein intake is known to result in a loss of muscle mass, strength and function, this loss may be amplified in individuals with FSHD. Dietary recommendations traditionally have been determined through nitrogen balance techniques, where the current recommended dietary allowance (RDA) for daily protein intake for adults is 0.8 g/kg/d. However, recent research indicates how the nitrogen balance technique potentially underestimates protein requirements. Therefore, there is a need to reassess current dietary recommendations in adults with FSHD in order to help support the maintenance of muscle strength and function. Recent efforts to understand protein requirements in various populations have been completed using the indicator amino acid oxidation technique (IAAO). This non-invasive method is reported to provide a robust measure of protein requirements. Due to its non-invasive nature, the IAAO method allows researchers to use this technique in individuals with FSHD, where there is currently limited work in studying this population. The purpose of this study is to measure the protein requirements in individuals with FSHD using the non-invasive IAAO technique.

Atrial fibrillation is an abnormal beating of the heart that can lead to stroke or heart failure. Structural heart diseases are conditions that affect the heart valves or heart muscle and can cause permanent heart damage if left untreated. Sometimes people have atrial fibrillation or structural heart disease and do not know it. The purpose of this study is to evaluate two devices that can predict who has or may develop atrial fibrillation or structural heart disease based on the results of an electrocardiogram.

Background: A heart catheterization is a diagnostic heart procedure used to measure pressures and take pictures of the blood flow through the heart chambers. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) fluoroscopy shows continuous pictures of the heart chambers that doctors can watch while they work. Researchers want to test this procedure with catheterization tools routinely used in x-ray catheterization called guidewires. Guidewires will help move the heart catheter through the different heart chambers. Guidewires are usually considered unsafe during MRI because MRI can cause a guidewire to heat while inside the blood vessels and heart. Researchers are testing special low energy MRI settings that allow certain guidewires to be used during MRI catheterization without heating. Using these guidewires during MRI may help to decrease the amount of time you are in the MRI scanner, and the overall time the MRI catheterization procedure takes. Objectives: To test if certain MRI settings make it safe to use a guidewire during MRI fluoroscopy. Eligibility: Adults 18 and older whose doctors have recommended right heart catheterization. Design: Researchers will screen participants by reviewing their lab results and questionnaire answers. Participants may give 4 blood samples. Participants will be sedated. They will have a tube (catheter) placed in the groin, arm, or neck if they don t already have one. Patches on the skin will monitor heart rhythm. Special antennas, covered in pads, will be placed against the body. Participants will lie flat on a table that slides in and out of the MRI scanner as it makes pictures. Participants will get earplugs for the loud knocking noise. They can talk on an intercom. They will be inside the scanner for up to 2 hours. They can ask to stop at any time. During a heart catheterization, catheters will be inserted through the tubes already in place. The catheters are guided by MRI fluoroscopy into the chambers of the heart and vessels. The guidewire will help position the catheter.

The DAISEA-ECG project aims to improve the diagnosis of heart diseases in primary care through the DeepECG platform, which combines ECG-AI and ECHONeXT algorithms. This study uses a stepped wedge design, where each Family Medicine Group acts as its own control. The FMGs will gradually transition from the control period (without AI recommendations) to the intervention period (with AI recommendations activated) in a randomized sequence. The primary objective is to compare the sensitivity of family physicians in detecting cardiac pathologies, with and without the assistance of the DeepECG platform. Sensitivity is defined as the proportion of patients correctly referred to cardiology or for transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) among those who indeed required cardiovascular evaluation, as confirmed by an independent adjudication committee.

The HEART-AI (Harnessing ECG Artificial Intelligence for Rapid Treatment and Accurate Interpretation) is an open-label, single-center, randomized controlled trial, that aims to deploy a platform called DeepECG at point-of-care for AI-analysis of 12-lead ECGs. The platform will be tested among healthcare professionals (medical students, residents, doctors, nurse practitioners) who read 12-lead ECGs. In the intervention group, the platform will display the ECHONeXT structural heart disease (SHD) scores in randomized patients to help doctors prioritize transthoracic echocardiography (TTEs) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and reduce the time to diagnosis of structural heart disease. Also, this platform will display the DeepECG-AI interpretation which detects problems such as ischemic conditions, arrhythmias or chamber enlargements and acts an improved alternative to commercially available ECG interpretation systems such as MUSE. Our primary objective is to assess the impact of displaying the ECHONeXT interpretation on 12-lead ECGs on the time to diagnosis of Structural Heart Disease (SHD) among newly referred patients at MHI. We will compare the time interval from the initial ECG to SHD diagnosis by transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) between patients in the intervention arm (where ECHONeXT prediction of SHD and TTE priority recommendation are displayed) and patients in the control arm (where ECHONeXT prediction and recommendation are hidden). The main secondary objective is to evaluate the rate of SHD detection on TTE or MRI among newly referred patients. We also aim to assess the delay between the time of the first ECG opened in the platform and the TTE or MRI evaluation among newly referred patients at high or intermediate risk of SHD. By integrating an AI-analysis platform at the point of care and evaluating its impact on ECG interpretation accuracy and prioritization of incremental tests, the HEART-AI study aims to provide valuable insights into the potential of AI in improving cardiac care and patient outcomes.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Fshd clinical trials pay?

Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.

How do Fshd clinical trials work?

After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Fshd trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length for Fshd is 12 months.

How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?

Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.

What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?

The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.

Do I need to be insured to participate in a Fshd medical study?

Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.

What are the newest Fshd clinical trials?

Most recently, we added Neuromodulation for Female Sexual Dysfunction, Clenbuterol for FSHD and EPI-321 for Muscular Dystrophy to the Power online platform.
