Filter by: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
The purpose of this study is to provide a single clinical study with a uniform approach to monitoring long-term safety and efficacy in participants who received delandistrogene moxeparvovec in a previous clinical study. No study drug will be administered as part of this study. Pre-infusion baseline will be defined as the timepoint just prior to infusion of delandistrogene moxeparvovec from a previous clinical study. Each participant will be followed for a minimum of 5 years post-infusion of delandistrogene moxeparvovec from a previous clinical study. The duration of participation in this study is dependent on the length of follow-up the participant completed post-infusion of delandistrogene moxeparvovec from a previous clinical study.
This Phase IIb study is a two part, multicenter study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of ATL1102 in non-ambulant boys with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy aged 10 to <18 years old. The study includes a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled treatment period (Part A), followed by an open labelled treatment period (Part B).
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.
The purpose of the study is to investigate the effect of bicycle ergometry training on ventilatory functions in boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
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
Background Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophies are X-linked recessive allelic disorders caused by mutations of the dystrophin gene on chromosome Xp21. Female carriers may pass on the pathogenic variant to their daughters, resulting in a significant number of female carriers of pathogenic DMD variants. There was a large variability in the severity of symptoms with some being asymptomatic and some having severe symptoms. Skewed X-Chromosome Inactivation (XCI) might explain some of this variability. But now, the underlying cause of the large variability in phenotype is therefore uncertain. Aim 1. To describe the change over a 6-year follow-up period in the structure and function of the heart and in function and muscle fat fraction in skeletal muscle of DMD/BMD carriers. 2. To explain the relationship between the XCI and the severity of the disease (phenotype). 3. To compare cardiac affection of female carriers of DMD/BMD to patients with BMD using new cardiac MRI techniques (spectroscopy and Dixon sequences). Methods This study contains three parts: Part 1 is a 6-year follow-up on 53 genetically verified female carriers of pathogenic DMD variants initially investigated in 2016-2018 at Copenhagen Neuromuscular Center, Rigshospitalet (Ethical journal no. H-16035677). In this part, the same 53 females will be investigated with the same measurements as 6 years ago to describe the progression of symptoms. All the follow-up results from this study will be compared to the results from 6 years ago. In Part 2 a muscle biopsy will be taken from 1-3 muscles (see "3.3.3 Description of outcomes) to investigate the XCI. To correlate the XCI to the phenotype, these patients will also undergo a muscle MRI and a Medical Research Council scale score for muscle strength (MRC). In Part 3 The cardiac structure and function in patients with BMD will be investigated using a cardiac MRI to compare the findings with that of female carriers. An MRC will carried out to investigate if the heart affection correlates to the muscle affection. Female carriers can decide whether to participate in Part 1, Part 2, or both. Patient with BMD can only participate in Part 3.
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).
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.
