TXA127 in Non-Ambulant Patients With DMD Cardiomyopathy
DMD-Associated Dilated Cardiomyopathy
About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for DMD-Associated Dilated Cardiomyopathy
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria: Male subjects 16 years of age or older who provide informed consent and can follow up with protocol procedures. Parental or guardian consent is required for subjects at least 16 years of age but younger than 18 years of age. Documented diagnosis of Duchenne muscular dystrophy by genetic mutation analysis. Documented cardiomyopathy, as assessed by echocardiogram with EF >35% and <55% and fractional shortening of ≤ 28% at the time of screening. Subjects must be taking systemic glucocorticoids for at least six months prior to screening. Subjects taking mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists, must be taking the drug for at least three months prior to screening Non-ambulant and cared for by a trained caregiver Exclusion Criteria: Therapy with intravenous inotropic or vasoactive medications at the time of screening Planned or likelihood of major surgery in the 6 months after planned enrollment. Patient is using a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) or actively in the process of acquiring a LVAD. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR) <50 mL/min, as calculated by the CKD-EPI Creatinine equation 2021 (https://www.kidney.org/professionals/kdoqi/gfr_calculator) Reproducible (+/- 10%) difference between screening and baseline, percent predicted FVC between 45 and 85, inclusive, using best of 3 efforts at each visit Patients with non-invasive ventilation, such as CPAP and BiPAP Patient is suffering from unstable systemic allergic reaction(s), connective tissue disease or autoimmune disorder(s), requiring active intervention History of cardiac tumor or current cardiac tumor Known moderate-to-severe aortic stenosis/insufficiency or severe mitral stenosis/regurgitation Current alcohol or drug abuse Known history of chronic viral hepatitis unless considered cured based on hepatitis C RNA negative results Hepatic dysfunction upon screening evidenced by bilirubin levels or gamma-GT levels above normal, deemed as clinically significant by the PI/Sub-I, and/or abnormal hematology (hematocrit <25%, WBC <3000/μl, platelets <100,000/μl), without a reversible, identifiable cause. Total bilirubin elevations > 2 times the upper reference range, consistent with Gilbert's Syndrome, may be enrolled if there is no other evidence of liver dysfunction Uncontrolled diabetes (HbA1c >9.0 percent) Inability to comply with protocol-related procedures, including required study visits Any condition or other reason that, in the opinion of the investigator or Medical Monitor, would render the subject unsuitable for the study Currently receiving or received within 90 days of enrollment (Day 1) an investigational treatment on another clinical study or expanded access protocol. This will include patients currently being treated or who have not completed follow-up to treatment with an investigational cell-based therapy within 6 months prior to enrollment and patients actively receiving an investigational therapy for cardiovascular repair/regeneration.
