Not yet recruiting

• Conditions: Long QT Syndrome Type 3; Long QT Syndrome 2

• Registration Number: NCT07075445
• Lead Sponsor: Thryv Therapeutics, Inc.

Brief Summary

This is a cross-sectional observational study designed to assess the disease burden and quality of life in individuals with LQTS 2 and 3. Each participant will answer each patient-reported outcome questionnaire only once over a 6-month period. The study will enroll up to 200 participants.

Detailed Description

The aim of the present cross-sectional observational study is to evaluate the health status and quality of life burden in patients with LQTS. The total study duration is anticipated to last for a period of up to 18 months, including up to 6 months of each individual's observation period. The observation period may be extended by up to 3 months (total 9 months). During the optional extension, data collection via myQTwave will be limited to emotional and physical symptoms survey. This prospective cohort study will collect PRO information in a cohort of patients with LQTS 2 or 3. All screened participants will be assigned a unique identifier. Eligible participants will download the myQTwave app on the Apple iPhone and Apple Watch delivered to them after enrollment.

Patient-reported outcomes will be captured via the Apple iPhone and daily health metrics (sleep, physical and Heart-related data) will be collected using the Apple Watch.
