INTERNATIONAL CMT REGISTRY NIH RDCRC (Shy, Reilly and Pareyson) Minimal dataset for CMT for natural history studies Online registry housed and managed by DMCC in Florida
INTERNATIONAL CMT REGISTRY 2009 / 2010 plan to extend the registry internationally Partnered with TREAT-NMD National curator for each national registry (e.g. UK Mary Reilly running national database in MRC centre, Queen Square)
INTERNATIONAL CMT REGISTRY International registry will be vehicle for: National history studies (ongoing in RDCRC registry) Eventually trial recruitment (especially rare forms of CMT)
Registries used by industry – feasibility studies • 7 feasibility enquiries from February 2009 to June 2010 (6 on DMD, 1 on SMA; 6 from industry, 1 academic) • All enquiries approved by TGDOC in less than 14 days (>90% participation, all votes positive) • All enquiry reports completed in time according to agreements (<3 weeks to 8 weeks) • Total revenue from feasibility enquiries: ca. 50,000.- € • Revenue ear-marked for further education and training (registry curator and OC meeting)
