Active clinical trials for "Muscular Dystrophies"

The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and dystrophin protein levels in muscle tissue following multiple intravenous (IV) doses of DYNE-251 in participants with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) amenable to exon 51 skipping. The study consists of 3 periods: a multiple-ascending dose (MAD) / placebo-controlled period (24 weeks), an open-label period (24 weeks) and a long-term extension period (96 weeks).

The primary objective of the Schulze study is to evaluate the function of the upper limbs of subjects diagnosed with neuromuscular disorders, with and without use of the Abilitech Assist device in the clinic and home environments. Functional outcomes will include documenting active range of motion and the ability to perform activities of daily living (ADLs) using the standardized Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) and the Role Evaluation of Activities of Life (REAL) assessments. Secondary objectives are to assess the safety record and report on adverse events (AEs) and parameters related to device usage, including device usage time and the time required to don/doff the device. Secondary objectives also include characterization of user upper limb performance based on etiology.

This project will systematically plan and evaluate the implementation of the Transdiagnostic Sleep and Circadian Intervention for youth (TranS-CY). As an early stage study, investigators will focus on recruitment strategies to reach the target population and collection of preliminary data on primary and secondary effects of the TranS-CY. Weekly remote (video web conferencing) parent training sessions will allow investigators to explore adoption through parent adherence and examine whether the essential elements of the TranS-CY intervention (e.g., motivational interviewing, goal setting, problem solving, sleep routine scheduling, monitoring) can be consistently taught by clinicians and implemented by parents into the home setting.

Muscular Dystrophies (MD) are a heterogeneous group of diseases characterised by muscle wasting that lead to progressive loss of function. Although exercise training has been traditionally neglected to these patients due to concerns regarding muscle damage, research has shown that exercise therapy is safe and tolerable in this population and can lead to potential gains in endurance and muscle strength, as well as other patient-reported outcomes such as health-related quality of life.Therefore, in this study, the investigators aim to examine the feasibility, tolerability and safety as well as the effects of a 12-week, exercise-training program in patients with MD on functional capacity, muscle strength, and health-related quality of life.

RGX-202 is a gene therapy designed to deliver a transgene for a novel microdystrophin that includes functional elements of naturally-occurring dystrophin including the C-Terminal (CT) domain. This is a multicenter, open-label dose evaluation clinical study to assess the safety, tolerability and clinical efficacy of a one-time intravenous (IV) dose of RGX-202 in participants with Duchenne.

This is a Phase 1b/2a open-label study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic (PK), pharmacodynamic (PD), and clinical effects of intravenous (IV) WVE-N531 in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). To participate in the study, patients must have a documented mutation of the DMD gene that is amenable to exon 53 skipping intervention

The main objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of Viltolarsen compared to placebo in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) patients amenable to exon 53 skipping.

This Phase II pilot study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK, PD, and exploratory clinical efficacy of vamorolone 500mg (250mg for body weight <50 kg) daily administered orally compared to placebo over a treatment period of 24 weeks in males with BMD.

AOC 1044-CS1 (EXPLORE44) is a Phase 1/2 study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamic effects of single and multiple ascending doses of AOC 1044 in healthy adult volunteers and participants with DMD mutations amenable to exon 44 skipping. Part A is a single dose design with multiple cohorts (dose levels) in healthy adult volunteers. Part B is a multiple-ascending dose design with 3 cohorts (dose levels) in participants with Duchenne.

This is a Phase 3, multi-center, open-label extension study in ambulant boys with DMD who have completed the 48-week treatment period of either viltolarsen or placebo in Study NS-065/NCNP-01-301.
