Filter by:Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is an X-linked disorder that causes muscle wasting, cardiopulmonary failure, and premature death. Heart failure is a leading cause of death in DMD, but substantial knowledge gaps exist regarding predisposing risk factors. In the general population, hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, and decreased heart rate variability (HRV; reflecting autonomic dysfunction) are associated with cardiomyopathy (CM). It is unclear whether these factors are associated with DMD-CM. Closing this knowledge gap may lead to novel screening and therapeutic strategies to delay progression of DMD related CM. Despite risk factors for hyperglycemia, including the use of glucocorticoids, low muscle mass, obesity, and reduced ambulation, little is known regarding glucose abnormalities in DMD. Some of these same risk factors, along with the distance needed to travel for specialty care, present significant barriers to research participation and clinical care for individuals with DMD. Remote wearable technology may improve research participation in this vulnerable population. Therefore, this study will leverage remote wearable technologies to overcome these barriers and define the relationship between dysglycemia and DMD-CM. In this Aim of the study, the investigators will assess the utility of remote wearable technology to predict changes in traditional metrics of metabolism and cardiac function. In this pilot study, 10 individuals with DMD will undergo cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) and oral glucose tolerance tests (OGTTs) at baseline and two years. The investigators will remotely assess glycemia (using continuous glucose monitors), HRV (using extended Holter monitors), and activity (using accelerometers) every 6 months over the 2 years and evaluate if changes in wearable metrics predict changes in CMR and OGTT.
The primary purpose of the MAD period is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of multiple ascending intravenous (IV) doses of PGN-EDO51 administered to participants with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). The primary purpose of the LTE period is to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of PGN-EDO51 in participants who have completed the MAD period. The study consists of 3 periods: A Screening Period (up to 45 days), a Treatment and Observation Period (16 weeks), and an Extension Period (108 weeks).
The purpose of this non-interventional study is to evaluate the feasibility of remotely administering the North Star Ambulatory Assessment (NSAA) to participants with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). The iTakeControl (iTC) software platform will be utilized to remotely administer and score the NSAAs.
This is a Phase 2, open-label, multi-center, 2-part study of NS-089/NCNP-02 administered by weekly IV infusion to ambulant boys aged ≥4 to <15 years with DMD due to mutations amenable to exon 44 skipping. Participants will receive a selected dose of NS-089/NCNP-02 administered once weekly. The study consists of 2 parts: Part 1 and Part 2. Six participants (Cohort 1) will participate in both Part 1 and Part 2, and 14 participants (Cohort 2) will be added for Part 2.
The objective of the ActiLiège Next study is to collect longitudinal data from patients and control subjects using a wearable magneto-inertial device. By collecting natural history data in various neuromuscular disorders (Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, Fascioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy, Myotonic Dystrophy 1, Charcot-Marie-Tooth, Centronuclear Myopathy, Congenital Muscular Dystrophy), we aim to validate digital outcome measures to continuously assess motor function in real-life.
Muscular dystrophy (MD) is a group of muscle diseases that results in increasing weakening and breakdown of skeletal muscles over time. The disorders differ in which muscles are primarily affected, the degree of weakness, how fast they worsen, and when symptoms begin. Many people will eventually become unable to walk. Some types are also associated with problems in other organs. The muscular dystrophy group contains thirty different genetic disorders that are usually classified into nine main categories or types. The signs and symptoms consistent with muscular dystrophy are: progressive muscular wasting, poor balance, scoliosis (curvature of the spine and the back), progressive inability to walk, waddling gait, Calf deformation, Limited range of movement, respiratory difficulty, cardiomyopathy and muscle spasms This study aimed to assess the efficacy of Kinesiology Taping on head and trunk control in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy
This is a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicentre study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of givinostat in non-ambulant male paediatric (aged 9 to <18 years) patients with DMD. 138 patients will be randomised 2:1 to givinostat or placebo and will be treated for 18 months. - Planned screening duration: approximately 4 weeks (±14 days) - Planned treatment duration: 18 months (approximately 72 weeks) - Planned follow-up duration: 4 weeks (±7 days) (for patients not participating in the long-term safety study) - Total duration of study participation: up to 83 weeks (ie, 20-21 months)
The study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of delandistrogene moxeparvovec gene transfer therapy in non-ambulatory and ambulatory males with DMD. This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled 2-part study. Participants will be in the study for approximately 128 weeks. All participants will have the opportunity to receive intravenous (IV) delandistrogene moxeparvovec in either Part 1 or Part 2.
This is a Phase 1/2a, monocentric, open label study to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of SQY51 in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy
ARISE is a prospective and longitudinal clinical study of individuals with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) aimed at creating a database of functional motor abilities in this population to support validation efforts of the Duchenne Video Assessment (DVA).
