International Clinical Outcome Study for Dysferlinopathy (LGMD2B/Miyoshi)
An opportunity for patients with dysferlinopathies to participate in a clinical research study. This study is essential for finding outcomes that can be measured during clinical trials. Without good clinical outcomes, effective clinical trials cannot be performed.
The study started recruiting on September 1, 2012 and will continue until August 31, 2013 at 14 centers worldwide. Please click here for a list of locations and the recruitment status of each site.
