Phase N/A

Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease (CMT) is a condition affecting nerves. This research, led by the New York Stem Cell Foundation (NYSCF), aims to speed up CMT research and drug development. They collect cells from your body, like skin or blood, to make stem cells. Stem cells are special because they can turn into any cell needed for research. Scientists will also study your DNA, which is like a guidebook for how your body works. If something is wrong in a part of DNA called a gene, it can cause disease.

To join the study, you’ll fill out health forms, give a skin or blood sample, and a saliva sample for DNA analysis. You might be asked to give more info later. This study is not a clinical trial, so it's mainly about collecting and studying samples.

  • The study is for people aged 5 and up, with or without CMT.
  • You must consent, and minors need parent/guardian consent.
  • Participants with certain health conditions may not be eligible.

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.
