Pfizer is currently recruiting participants for a clinical study in LMNA-related DCM patients.
Myokardia/BMS is currently recruiting participants for a clinical study in DCM patients with MYH7 or TTN variants.
The DCM Research Project, housed at the Ohio State University with consortium sites across the United States, aims to advance understanding of the genetics of DCM by conducting family-based research studies that include a large number of families.
Additional research opportunities may be found at clinicaltrials.gov. If you know of other studies that the DCM Foundation may want to support, please contact us.
