Filter by:This study aimed to assess the efficacy of aquatic therapy on pulmonary functions in patients with muscular dystrophy.
This is a multicenter, open-label, long-term, extension, phase 2 study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of long-term treatment with DS-5141b in patients with DMD who have completed DS5141-A-J101.
This Phase 2, multi-center, open-label extension trial will provide CAP-1002 to subjects that were enrolled in the HOPE-2 trial and completed 12 months of follow-up. The trial will explore the safety and efficacy of sixteen intravenous administrations of CAP-1002, each separated by three months. Subjects will undergo a targeted screening during a 30-day screening period, eligible subjects will then undergo baseline safety and efficacy assessments on Day 1 prior to their first infusion of CAP-1002. Subjects will complete trial assessments at Screening; Day 1; Months 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30, 33, 36, 39, 42, 45 and 48. Safety and efficacy assessments will be conducted prior to CAP-1002 administration at the Day 1, Months 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30, 33, 36, 39, 42 and 45 trial visits, unless otherwise indicated. All CAP-1002 infusions will be conducted in an outpatient setting at the investigative site on Day 1 and Months 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30, 33, 36, 39, 42 and 45. Subjects will be observed in the outpatient setting for at least two hours post infusion and then discharged the same day, if medically cleared by the site Investigator.
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.
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.
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.
Muscular dystrophies are neurologic disease with higher morbidity and mortality. Cardiac function and respiratory muscles can be affected, in addition with skeletal muscle deficiency . Lung function is classically assessed with functionnal pulmonary tests (FPT) . Ultrasound recently emerged as a non-invasive tool to assess diaphragm function. The aims of the study are: - to provide the spectrum of diaphragm ultrasound in patients with muscular dystrophies - to assess the correlation between diaphragm ultrasound and FPT - to assess the correlation between diaphragm ultrasound and cardiac function
The overall aim of this study is to hasten drug development for facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD). Recent breakthroughs in FSHD research have identified the primary disease mechanism as the aberrant expression of a normally silenced gene, DUX4, resulting in a toxic gain-of-function. This disease mechanism is particularly amenable to knock-down of DUX4 using epigenetic strategies or RNA therapies, as well as to other interventions targeting the downstream effects of DUX4 expression. There are many drug companies actively working towards disease-targeted therapies, and two clinical trials either under way now, or planned to start in early Fall 2016. However, meetings with industry, advocacy groups, and FSHD researchers have identified several gaps in the clinical trial arsenal, and clinical trial planning as a major goal for the community. Consequently, there is an urgent need to establish the tools necessary for the conduct of currently planned and expected therapeutic trials in FSHD. To this end, the researchers propose to develop two novel clinical outcome assessments (COA), a composite functional outcome measure (FSH-COM) and skeletal muscle biomarker, electrical impedance myography (EIM). In addition there is broad consensus a better understanding of the relationship of genetic and demographic features to disease progression will be necessary for enumerating eligibility criteria. The specific aims are to: 1. Determine the multi-site validity of the COAs, 2. Compare the responsiveness of new COAs to other FSHD outcomes and determine the minimal clinically meaningful changes, and 3. establish FSHD cohort characteristics useful for determining clinical trial eligibility criteria. To achieve these aims, the Nice University Hospital is conducting a monocentric, prospective, 18 month study on 30 subjects.
This study will be comprised of 2 parts: 1) Part A (Multiple Ascending Dose [MAD]) will be conducted to evaluate the safety and tolerability of vesleteplirsen at MAD levels to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), and 2) Part B will be conducted to further evaluate the vesleteplirsen doses selected in Part A. Participants enrolling in Part B will be those who completed Part A or Study 5051-102 (NCT03675126) and meet applicable eligibility criteria for Part B, as well as additional participants who meet applicable eligibility criteria for enrollment at the beginning of Part B.
This clinical trial is a study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and changes in biomarker and clinical outcome assessments of Losmapimod for patients with Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy 1 (FSHD1) with an open-label extension.
