NCT06844877

Brief Summary

The goal is to create a solid and harmonious disease registry of patient affected by neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (NCLs) that facilitates the collection and management of patients' data over time encouraging the research and the development of future clinical trials. In-depth clinical phenotyping will develop significant clinical outcome measures that can be used in clinical trials and will allow the phenotypic complexity of the disease to be captured with the use of validated clinical scales, biomarkers and so-called patient reported outcomes (PROs).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Establishment of the NCL Italian Registry to systematically document the clinical presentation and natural history of patients affected by NCLs

    We will record information related to NCL natural history in 10 patients

    12 months

Sampling MethodNon-Probability Sample
Study Population

Subjects affected by NCLs with a genetic or ultrastructural characterization

You may qualify if:

  • genetically confirmed diagnosis of neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis
  • participants/parents/legal guardians will have to give informed consent for enrollment in the registry and privacy data management

You may not qualify if:

  • subjects affected by other forms of neurodegenerative diseases.
  • lack of informed consent

Data Sharing

IPD Sharing
Will share

The data collected during the clinical-instrumental-laboratory evaluations will be entered into the Italian NCL Registry in pseudonymized form. Each patient will be identified by a progressive code of the electronic CRF together with a unique alphanumeric identification code (automatically generated). This identification code will be used by the Center in place of the relevant name in each communication of the linked data. The Recruiting Center will be the only and exclusive entity able to associate the identification code with the personal data. The data collected in the Italian NCL Registry will be stored on RedCap in pseudonymized form.
