Filter by:The study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of gene therapy in boys with DMD. It is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study with two thirds of participants assigned to gene therapy. The one third of participants who are randomized to the placebo arm will have an opportunity for treatment with gene therapy at the beginning of the second year.
The investigators believe that arm cycling has the potential to be effective in maintaining or improving shoulder muscle functioning. However, there is no evidence for its safety or effectiveness in the upper extremity. The aim of the study is to establish the ability of FSHD sufferers to perform arm cycling to underpin the future design of an arm exercise trial. The study hypothesis is that the limited range of shoulder movement and muscle weakness should not impact the ability of FSHD sufferers to perform arm cycling.
This study is an open-label extension to evaluate the safety and tolerability of long-term dosing of Losmapimod in patients with FSHD1 who participated in the ReDux4 study.
The purpose of this low interventional study is to collect data on everyday movement in boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) using wearable activity sensors. The activity sensors could provide useful information beyond what is currently collected by functional (movement, strength) assessments in clinic. This information can help with the understanding of the impact of DMD, and perhaps with how possible treatments can affect this impact.
Open-label, single dose clinical trial of scAAV9.U7.ACCA via peripheral limb vein injection for Duchenne muscular dystrophy boys who have a duplication of exon 2.
BB-OPMD-202 is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of IV trehalose for treatment of OPMD. The study includes a 4-week screening period, a 24-week blinded treatment period during which patients will receive weekly infusions of trehalose or placebo, followed by a 24-week open-label extension period during which all patients will receive weekly infusions of trehalose. Patients will undergo a safety follow-up assessment 4 weeks after their last treatment.
The overall goal of this natural history study is to define the key LGMD2i phenotypes as measured by standard clinical outcome assessments (COAs), and to validate a muscle biomarker for LGMD2i to support therapeutic development.
The purpose of this project is to devise instrumented insoles capable of accurately measuring gait at each footfall, over multiple hours in any environment. To achieve high accuracy, the investigators will develop a new learning-based calibration framework. Features will be tested in controlled lab settings 39 during a single visit in people with SMA (13), DMD (13) and healthy controls (13) and in 15 participants in real-life environments.
Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is a genetic disease that primarily targets skeletal muscle resulting in severe weakness and muscle loss. As a result, individuals suffering from DM1 become very inactive and lose mobility resulting in a lower quality of life. This study will investigate the effect of a 12-week moderate intensity exercise protocol on skeletal muscle function and cellular benefits in DM1 patients.
The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of ASP0367. This study will also evaluate the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and efficacy on muscle function of ASP0367.
