Clinical and Basic Investigations Into Known and Suspected Congenital Disorders of Glycosylation
NCT02089789 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
Background: \- Proteins, fats, and other molecules are the body s building blocks. Many of these molecules must have sugars, or chains of sugars, attached to work properly. People with congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDGs) cannot attach these sugars or sugar chains properly. A child or adult with a CDG can have symptoms in different parts of the body, including brain, nerves, muscles, liver, and immune system. Researchers want to learn more about these diseases to understand better what is causing the problems. Objective: \- To learn more about CDGs. Eligibility: \- People 1 month to 2 years old may be seen as outpatients or by telehealth. Patients 2-80 years with CDG or suspected to have a CDG may be seen under this protocol as inpatients, outpatients or by teleheath. Design: * CDG participants may be seen as inpatients, outpatients or by teleheath. Inpatient stays may last 2-5 days. * They will have:-Medical history and physical exam. They will answer questions about their CDG. * Blood taken several times. Their skin will be numbed, then a needle will take blood from an arm vein. * Samples taken of their skin, urine, and maybe stool and spinal fluid. * Photos taken of their whole body. They can wear underwear and cover their eyes. * Brain MRI. They will lie on a table that slides in and out of a metal cylinder. The scanner makes loud knocking noises so they can wear earplugs. * Abdomen ultrasound. Sound waves take images of the body from the outside. * Hand/wrist X-rays for young patients. They may have a full-body X-ray. * DEXA bone density scan. Participants will lie on a table under a scanner. * Echocardiogram and electrocardiogram for heart activity. Pads are stuck on the skin and the electrical activity of the heart is recorded. * Tests of hearing, thinking, motor skills, and speech. * Children participants may have tests done under sedation if it will benefit them directly. * CDG participants may have other procedures during their visit.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT02089789
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT02089789 describes a study currently listed as recruiting. It is categorized as an unspecified phase, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 200 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), which has 242 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Congenital Disorders of Glycosylation appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 0 interventions. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT02089789 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Maryland. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll. Verify current status, eligibility criteria, and contact details directly at ClinicalTrials.gov, and discuss any participation decision with your own healthcare provider.
