Active clinical trials for "Muscular Dystrophies"

This is an open-label, multicenter, phase 2 extension study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK, PD, and efficacy of ACE-083 in subjects with FSHD previously enrolled in Study A083-02 and subjects with CMT1 and CMTX previously enrolled in Study A083-03. This study will be conducted in two Parts: Part 1, which is a loading phase of 6 months' duration, and Part 2, the maintenance phase, which will last up to 24 months.

The main objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of long-term treatment with casimersen or golodirsen in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD).

This study was planned to determine neuropsychological profiles of children with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy and investigation of its effects on motor functions & compare to typically developed peers.

The purpose of the study is to see whether BMN053 is safe and effective to use as medication for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) patients with a mutation around location 53 in the DNA for the dystrophin protein.

This is a Phase 2 randomized, 2-period, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multiple ascending dose study to evaluate the safety, efficacy, PK and PD of PF-06252616 administered to ambulatory boys diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. Three intravenous (IV) dose levels will be investigated in a within subject dose escalating fashion. Subjects will be randomly assigned to 1 of 3 sequence groups for approximately 96 weeks (2 periods of 48 weeks each). In period 1, two of the sequence groups will receive PF-06252616 and one sequence group will receive placebo. In period 2, the placebo group will switch to PF-06252616 and the two remaining sequence groups will either receive placebo or PF-06252616. Efficacy will be based on an observed mean change from baseline on function (4 stair climb) of PF-06252616 as compared to the placebo at the end of period 1. Period 2 provides an opportunity to evaluate PK. Subjects will receive monthly IV infused doses of either PF-06252616 or placebo and will undergo safety evaluations (Laboratory, cardiac monitoring, physical exams, x-ray, MRI), functional evaluations (pulmonary function testing, 4 stair climb, range of motion, strength testing, Northstar Ambulatory Assessment, upper limb functional testing and the six minute walk test), pharmacokinetic testing and pharmacodynamic testing to evaluate changes in muscle volume (MRI).

The purpose of the study is to see whether PRO045 is safe and effective to use as medication for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) patients with a mutation around location 45 in the DNA for the dystrophin protein.

To evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of ACE-031 administration in subjects with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) who participated in Study A031-03. [Note: This study was terminated based on preliminary safety data. Pending further analysis of safety data and discussion with health authorities, a new ACE-031 trial will be planned.]

Duchenne/Becker muscular dystrophy (DMD/BMD) is a genetic disorder that 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 during childhood and teenage years. A specific type of mutation, called a nonsense (premature stop codon) mutation is the cause of DMD/BMD in approximately 10-15% of boys with the disease. Ataluren (PTC124) is an orally delivered, investigational drug that has the potential to overcome the effects of the nonsense mutation. This study is a Phase 2a trial that enrolled boys with nonsense mutation DMD/BMD who have lost independent mobility due to the disease. This study evaluated the safety and tolerability of ataluren (PTC124) and also evaluated efficacy outcomes in this participant population.

The purpose of this study is to develop a new remote-based video assessment outcome measure for Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy (LGMD) trials. The overall objectives for this study are: 1. Identify domains and tasks meaningful to participants with a Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy (LGMD) for development of the LGVA, including considerations for subtype heterogeneity and functional subgroup branching; 2. Determine the feasibility and reliability of the LGVA with test-retest of the LGVA Video Capture Manual; 3. Assess and refine the LGVA Video Capture Manual to ensure standardization and incorporate feedback from participants; 4. Collect source material videos using the LGVA Video Capture Manual to support the development of scorecards for the LGVA.

This study, HALO-DMD-03, is a follow-on study to HALO-DMD-01 and HALO-DMD-02, and allows continued open-label access to HT-100 for subjects who have completed these studies. HALO-DMD-03 will provide safety and strength and function data on continuous long-term dosing. Data from this study will be used to inform the safety, tolerability, and dose selection for a future trial of HT-100 in boys with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD).
