Filter by:This study will be comprised of 2 parts: Part 1 (dose escalation) will be conducted to evaluate the safety and tolerability of 2 doses (100 milligrams/kilogram [mg/kg] and 200 mg/kg) of eteplirsen in approximately 10 participants with DMD; Part 2 (dose finding and dose comparison) will be conducted for the selection of a high dose (100 mg/kg versus 200 mg/kg) and its comparison with the 30 mg/kg dose of eteplirsen, in approximately 144 participants with genetically confirmed deletion mutations amenable to treatment by skipping exon 51.
Canakinumab is an anti-interleukin 1 beta (IL1β) antibody approved for use in young children with familial Mediterranean fever, systemic onset juvenile idiopathic arthritis and TNF-receptor associated periodic fever syndrome. This study is a pilot trial to investigate the effects of canakinumab on clinical safety and potential clinical efficacy as demonstrated by short-term changes in select serum biomarkers in a sample of young boys with DMD who are most likely to have high levels of muscle inflammation. Steroid naive DMD subjects aged greater than or equal to 2 years old to less than 6 years old will receive a single subcutaneous dose of canakinumab and undergo safety and serum biomarker monitoring for 30 days. The first 3 subjects will receive 2 mg/kg and if well tolerated, the second 3 subjects will receive 4 mg/kg.
Key goals are to establish the natural history of limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2I (LGMD 2I) and identify feasible and sensitive tools and biomarkers to measure disease affection and progression, determine the Norwegian LGMD 2I prevalence, carrier frequency and genotypes, and to assess health-related quality of life in the Norwegian LGMD 2I population. Main aims are to facilitate future clinical trials and contribute to good clinical practice with suitable methodology and to complete health and social care in order to optimize the function and quality of daily living of the patient group.
Prospective, longitudinal, interventional, single-group, multicenter natural history study to better know the LGMD2I disease physiopathology. The duration of participation for each patient will be up to 24 months.
This study aims to evaluate the safety of a wireless implantable neurodevice microsystem in tetraplegic patients, as well as the efficacy of the electrodes for long-term recording of neural activities and the successful control of an external device.
The proposed clinical trial is the first-in-human, single-center, open-label, gene delivery study of SRP-9003 (bidridistrogene xeboparvovec) in participants with LGMD2E.
The primary cause of facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD), a common adult-onset dystrophy, was recently discovered identifying targets for therapy. As multiple drug companies pursue treatments for FSHD, there is an urgent need to define the clinical trial strategies which will hasten drug development, including creating disease-relevant outcome measures and optimizing inclusion criteria. This proposal will develop two new outcome measures and optimize eligibility criteria by testing 160 patients in 7 sites over a period of 24 months.
This is a controlled, open-label, single-ascending dose study to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of SGT-001 in adolescents and children with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Patients will receive a single intravenous (IV) infusion of SGT-001 and will be followed for approximately 5 years. The protocol was amended to drop the control arm after 4 subjects were dosed. Subjects currently enrolling are assigned to active treatment. Control subjects enrolled under original protocol will continue through the study per the original protocol.
This is a first-in-human/first-in-patient, multi-center, open-label, non-randomized, ascending dose, safety and tolerability study of a single intravenous infusion of PF-06939926 in ambulatory and non-ambulatory subjects with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Other objectives include measurement of dystrophin expression and distribution, and assessments of muscle strength, quality, and function. A total of approximately 22 subjects will receive PF-06939926, and these will include both ambulatory and non-ambulatory subjects. Up to 13 subjects may be included in a cohort that includes the concomitant medication, sirolimus. In order to mitigate unanticipated risks to subject safety, enrollment will be staggered within and between two planned dose-levels and will include a formal review by an external data monitoring committee (E-DMC) prior to dose progression.
The proposed clinical trial study of rAAVrh74.MCK.GALGT2 for duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) patients. There will be a modified intravascular limb infusion (ILI) procedure that will be used to sequentially deliver vector to each whole lower limb of DMD subjects via a major lower limb artery.
