Phase N/A
Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease (CMT) Biological Sample Collection for iPSC Generation and Biobanking Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) is a condition affecting the nerves and muscles. The New York Stem Cell Foundation (NYSCF) is studying CMT by collecting samples like skin and blood to create "pluripotent" stem cells. These are special cells that can become any type of cell in the body. This helps scientists understand diseases and could lead to new treatments or cures. They also perform genetic testing on DNA, which is the body's instruction manual. If a gene (a part of DNA) has abnormal instructions, it may cause disease. To join, participants: 1. Complete health questions. 2. Give a skin and/or blood sample. 3. Provide a saliva sample. 4. May be contacted later for more info or other studies. Key Points: - Participation requires health questionnaires and sample collection. - No treatments or drugs are involved; it's not a clinical trial. - Participants must be 5 years or older and have a CMT diagnosis or be healthy controls. Eligibility includes written consent from adults or minors' guardians. Some medical conditions might exclude you from the study.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
