Osteogenesis Imperfecta Trial of AGA2115 for ADUlts With COL1A1 and/or COL1A2 GeNetic Variations (IDUN)

This study will determine the effect of treatment of AGA2115 in adults with Type I, III, or IV osteogenesis imperfecta versus placebo.

Prospective Observational Cohort Study of Cardiac Structure and Function in Children and Adults With Osteogenesis Imperfecta

This prospective observational investigation will examine the incidence and progression of cardiologic findings in individuals with OI across different age groups. Cardiopulmonary complications are recognized as major contributors to morbidity and mortality in adults with OI, although life expectancy has significantly improved in recent years due to medical advancements. By systematically evaluating cardiovascular involvement in this population, the study aims to generate clinically relevant evidence to inform early cardiologic screening strategies and support the development of harmonized and targeted management approaches, ultimately improving clinical practice and the quality of life of individuals living with OI.

Social Cognition in Dystrophinopathies and Neurodevelopmental Disorders

The primary aim of this observational study is to investigate specific aspects of social cognition in dystrophinopathies. Body awareness, interpersonal distance and emotional processing will be measured in a sample of patients affected by Becker (BMD) and Duchenne (DMD) muscular dystrophy, compared with a sample of patients affected by osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), and both compared with a control sample with typical development. The secondary aim is to study cortical activity at rest, by means of electroencephalography (EEG), to explore frequencies and time course of EEG responses. Moreover, the relationship between EEG activity and neuropsychological, dispositional and subjective measures will be explored through correlational analyses.
