Active clinical trials for "Muscular Dystrophies"

The FTIH study with GSK3439171A will evaluate the safety of GSK3439171A in healthy subjects in order to avoid confounding factors due to the disease or concomitant drugs in patients. The study design is based on pre-clinical findings for GSK3439171A, contributing to the frequency, type and duration of safety assessment and monitoring during treatment periods in each cohort. The single dose assessments in Part A will be conducted to determine safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of the study intervention in individuals before progressing to doses explored further in other parts of the study and will allow for any adjustments needed based on emerging safety, tolerability, and PK information. Part A will also serve to identify a dose for use in examining the effect of food on GSK3439171A exposure in Part C. In Part B, a single dose safety, tolerability and PK will be collected followed by progression of these subjects to the repeat dose portion of the study. The up to 14-day dosing was chosen as it is thought to provide sufficient safety and tolerability data to bridge to longer duration studies. The dosing period can be adjusted depending on PK and PD data collected in Part A of the study. Part B will involve more detailed PK/PD/metabolite assessments to better understand the impact of GSK3439171A on target engagement and metabolism in humans. Approximately 150 subjects will be screened to achieve 75 randomly assigned to study intervention. Duration for Part A, B and C will be approximately 10 weeks, 9 weeks and 8 weeks respectively.

Brief Summary: This Phase IIb study is a randomized, double-blind, parallel group, placebo and active-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, PD, and population PK of vamorolone administered orally at daily doses of 2.0 mg/kg and 6.0 mg/kg versus prednisone 0.75 mg/kg/day and placebo over a Treatment Period of 24 weeks, and to evaluate persistence of effect over a Treatment Period of 48 weeks in ambulant boys ages 4 to <7 years with DMD.

This is a multicenter, open-label, dose-escalation study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and PK of once-weekly IV infusions of eteplirsen in approximately 12 male participants, ages 6 months to 48 months (inclusive), who have genotypically confirmed DMD with a deletion mutation amenable to exon 51 skipping.

This is a Phase 1, open-label, dose escalation study aimed at evaluating the safety, early efficacy and potential biomarkers of (+)-epicatechin in patients with Becker or Becker-like Muscular Dystrophy (BMD).

This is a Phase I, open-label, single-dose, 1-period study to compare EDG-5506 concentrations measured from venous and capillary blood sampling in healthy adult subjects. EDG-5506 is an investigational product designed to selectively modulate a fast skeletal muscle motor protein called myosin that is part of the contraction machinery of the damage-prone muscle fibers.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety and tolerability of combination therapy with recombinant human growth hormone (rHGH) and testosterone in adult male patients with facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) over 24 weeks.

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability profile of ATYR1940 in the treatment of adult participants with molecularly defined genetic muscular dystrophies.

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and biological activity of ATYR1940 in participants with LGMD2B and FSHD.

This is a Phase 2, multiple-dose, open-label study evaluating the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of ataluren in participants aged ≥2 to <5 years old with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) caused by a nonsense mutation in the dystrophin gene.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether IGF-1 therapy improves or preserves muscle function in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD).
