Prospective, Longitudinal Study of the Natural History and Functional Status of Patients With Myotubular Myopathy (MTM)
This is a prospective, non-interventional, longitudinal study of the natural history and function of approximately 60 patients with MTM from the United States, Canada and Europe. The duration of the study, including the enrollment period, will be 36 months. Data from the study will be used to characterize the disease course of MTM and determine which outcome measures will be the best to assess the efficacy of potential therapies.
Stanford is currently accepting patients for this trial.
