Active clinical trials for "Muscular Dystrophy, Duchenne"

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of exogenous gene transfer in DMD participants by measuring biological and clinical endpoints in three parts: two 48-week randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled periods (Part 1 and Part 2), and an open-label follow-up period (Part 3). Participants who are randomized to placebo in Part 1 will have the opportunity for treatment with delandistrogene moxeparvovec in Part 2. In order to provide a uniform approach to monitoring long-term safety and efficacy in participants who received SRP-9001 in a clinical trial, the Sponsor has amended Study Completion for this study to occur at Week 130. Therefore, participants have transitioned and will complete the remainder of the Part 3 follow up visits in a long-term extension study, SRP-9001-305 (NCT05967351).

BLS-M22 is being developed as an anti-myostatin agent for the treatment of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (Muscular Dystrophy). A total of 37 subjects participated in this study to confirm the safety of BLS-M22.

Duchenne's Muscular Dystrophy and Becker Dystrophy, hereafter DMD and BMD, is a serious and progressive disease that affects 1 in 3,500-6,000 males born alive. Scale 6-minute walking test, is used for determine the inclusion of children with DMD in pharmacological studies. Furthemore, is used to verify a training effectiveness assessing muscular endurance and cardio-respiratory functions. This Research evaluates the feasibility and effectiveness of a multimodal physiotherapist program with virtual reality glasses.

The addition of SMA and DMD muscle diseases to newborn screening and premarital carrier screening has been controversial. In this study, researchers aim to measure the awareness level of SMA and DMD muscle diseases of individuals living in Turkey and to obtain information about their attitudes towards newborn and carrier screening and physiotherapy practices. Thus, this study aimed to determine the factors that affect people's views on this subject.

EDG-5506 is an investigational product intended to protect and improve function of dystrophic muscle fibers. This Phase 1 study of EDG-5506 will assess the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) and of EDG-5506 in adult healthy volunteers and in adults with Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD).

PDE5A inhibition, which boosts NO-cGMP signaling, will relieve functional muscle ischemia and restore normal blood flow regulation (i.e., functional sympatholysis) during exercise in boys with DMD. The investigators specific aim is to perform an efficient dose-titration study to inform the design of a randomized multicenter trial of PDE5A inhibition for clinical skeletal muscle and cardiac endpoints.

Dystrophinopathy is a disease continuum that includes Duchenne muscular dystrophy, which develops in boys. It is caused by a mutation in the gene for dystrophin, a protein that is important for maintaining normal muscle structure and function. Loss of dystrophin causes muscle fragility that leads to weakness and loss of walking ability. A specific type of mutation, called a nonsense (premature stop codon) mutation is the cause of dystrophinopathy in approximately 10-15 percent (%) of boys with the disease. Ataluren is an orally delivered, investigational drug that has the potential to overcome the effects of the nonsense mutation. The main goal of this Phase 3 study is to evaluate the effect of ataluren on walking ability. The effect of ataluren on physical function, quality of life, and activities of daily living will be evaluated. This study will also provide additional information on the long-term safety of ataluren.

The purpose of this study is to see whether PRO044 is safe and effective to use as medication for DMD patients with a mutation around location 44 in the DNA for the dystrophin protein.

The aim of this Phase III study was to assess the efficacy of idebenone on pulmonary function, motor function, muscle strength and quality of life in patients with DMD. Furthermore, the safety and tolerability of idebenone was assessed.

Muscular dystrophies are inherited disorders in which the skeletal and heart muscles become progressively weaker, sometimes leading to permanent disability. Current treatments aim to control symptoms as much as possible, but there is no cure. Gene therapy, in which defective genes causing the disorder are corrected, is a potential treatment option and is in the process of being developed for muscular dystrophies. This study will determine the safety and feasibility of a particular delivery method for gene therapy that could be used in the future to treat people with muscular dystrophies. Only normal saline, and no active treatment, will be used in this study.
