Filter by:The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy after 24-week repeated oral doses of TAS-205 in patients with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) in an exploratory manner.
The main objective of this study is to evaluate the safety of a high (80mg/kg) and low (40mg/kg) dose of NS-065/NCNP-01 delivered as an intravenous infusion in patients with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) amendable to exon 53 skipping. Additional objectives include tolerability, muscle function and strength, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics.
In Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) there is an imbalance between the levels of calcium and sodium in the muscles cells which is thought to be important in the damage which occurs overtime. Sodium/proton type 1 exchanger (NHE-1) inhibition is an innovative pathway that has proved to efficiently prevent the accumulation of muscle damage (inflammation and fibrosis) in animal models of muscular dystrophies and heart failure. Based on prior safety and efficacy results in animal and humans, NHE-1 inhibition with Rimeporide represents a new therapeutic approach with no restriction on age and on genetic subtypes which could be combined to other treatments that restore or augment dystrophin.This study examines the safety and tolerability and effects on the muscles of rimeporide, in patients aged 6 to 14 years with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD).
This is a phase I/II study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, efficacy, and pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of DS-5141b in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) amenable to exon 45 skipping and to determine the dosage for subsequent studies.
"Observational study of clinical outcomes for testosterone treatment of pubertal delay in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy" is a single centre observational study that aims to follow the progress of 20 adolescents with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) and delayed puberty who are treated by the Newcastle muscle team, as they are treated with testosterone to induce puberty. The participants will all be treated with the standard stepwise regimen of testosterone injections every 4 weeks and data will be collected to help determine the effectiveness and tolerability of the current treatment regimen. The investigators will use the data to explore the effect of testosterone on pubertal development, growth, muscle strength and function, bone mineral density and body composition and characterise any side effects. Semi-structured interviews will also be carried out to learn the boys' views on the tolerability of the regimen. The study will last up to a maximum of 27 months in total for each participant, but may be less if they are happy with pubertal development before this time. It is important to do this study because from the investigator's limited experience in this group, testosterone treatment seems to be well liked and tolerated but the best treatment regimen to use remains unknown and there is no current consensus. It is not currently part of the standard of care in DMD but it would be important to include it if this study can show that it is an effective treatment for pubertal delay.
This is a first-in-human dose-titration and open-label extension study to assess safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of SRP-4045 in advanced-stage Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) patients with deletions amenable to exon 45 skipping.
The purpose of the study is to show that the intake of L-arginine and metformin improves muscle function and delays disease progression in patients with Duchenne's muscular dystrophy.
Male subjects with cardiomyopathy secondary to Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) meeting all inclusion and no exclusion criteria will be randomized. All subjects will be at least 12 years of age. They will be randomized in a 1:1 manner to either intracoronary infusion of CAP-1002 in three coronary arteries supplying the three major cardiac territories of the left ventricle of the heart (anterior, lateral, inferior/posterior) or usual care. In the active treatment arm, all three major cardiac territories will be treated (infused) during a single procedure in an open-label fashion.
The MoveDMD study is a 3-part, Phase 1/2, multi-site study to evaluate the safety, efficacy, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of edasalonexent (also known as CAT-1004) in pediatric patients with a genetically confirmed diagnosis of DMD. Male patients from ≥4 to <8 years of age will be enrolled. Edasalonexent is an orally administered small molecule targeted to inhibit activated NF-κB, a molecule that is activated from infancy in DMD and which is central to causing muscle damage and preventing muscle regeneration. Data on magnetic resonance imaging of the lower and upper leg muscles, physical function (including timed function tests) and muscle strength will be studied.
The investigators' previous work in males with Becker Muscular Dystrophy shows that functional sympatholysis is restored by acute inorganic nitrate supplementation. This was translated from work using the mdx mouse model of dystrophinopathy. Recent work has shown that there is a frank improvement in grip strength when mdx mice are treated with an inorganic Nitric Oxide (NO) donor. The purpose of this study is to determine if chronic treatment with an inorganic NO donor can benefit patients with muscular dystrophy beyond blood flow regulation.
