Filter by: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.
This is an 48-week open-label study to determine the efficacy and safety of AMONDYS 45, EXONDYS 51, VYONDYS 53 for the treatment of boys with duchenne muscular dystrophy who have a single exon duplication of either exon 45, 51 or 53, respectively. There will be weekly infusions and two muscle biopsies at baseline and at month 12.
Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is the most common neuromuscular disease in childhood with an estimate incidence of 1 in 3500 to 5000 male births. The effect of aerobic training on muscle architectural properties and motor functions such as muscle activation is not clear in DMD. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of aerobic training on these parameters in children with DMD. Twenty children with DMD included in the study will be divided into two groups as home program and home program+aerobic training with block randomization method. Home program including stretching, respiratory, range of motion and mild resistance exercise with body weight will be asked to apply 3-5 days a week for 12 weeks, aerobic training will be performed 3 days a week for 12 weeks at 60% of their maximum hearth rate with 50 minutes total duration consisting of 10 min warm up and 10 min cool down period. Muscle architectural properties, muscle strength, muscle activation and motor function will be assessed with ultrasonographic, hand-held myometry, surface EMG and Motor Function Measure, consecutively. Assessments will be applied at pre-training and after 12 weeks of training.
The ICD-Reality study is a non-commercial, investigator-led, multicenter, prospective, randomized, controlled trial. We aim to determine the effect of CRT-D or CRT-P implantation in non-ischemic cardiomyopathy and heart failure patients. The reason why we initiated this trial is the lack of evidence-based treatment for the significant number of these patients. In these patients, 5-year mortality remains as high as 20% despite recent therapeutic advances. Based on currently available evidence, because of a significant decrease in mortality due to modern pharmacotherapy, it is not certain which of these patients should receive a CRT-P and who should receive a CRT-D. No dedicated and adequately powered trial has addressed this important question. We hypothesize that patients with symptomatic HF, LVEF ≤35%, without left ventricular mid-wall fibrosis on LGE-CMR, will not benefit from CRT-D implantation compared with CRT-P only implantation. If our hypothesis is confirmed, this could provide evidence for the management of these patients with a significant impact on common daily praxis and health care expenditures. We aim to enroll 600 patients in the trial. 924 patients are needed to be screened for these 600 patients to be randomized. Patients with non-ischemic HF visiting an out-patient department and possibly eligible for the trial will have their pharmacotherapy optimized. Patients with a significant amount of fibrosis will be excluded from the study and treated according to local practice with an emphasis on ICD implantation to prevent SCD. After fulfilling all eligibility criteria, including maximally tolerated pharmacotherapy, subjects will be randomized by the physicians who enrolled them in a 1:1 ratio to receive CRT-D or CRT-P implantation. All patients will be followed-up for at least 3 years after the implantation.
This study is designed to assess the safety, tolerability, efficacy and pharmacokinetics (PK) of NS-089/NCNP-02 in subjects diagnosed with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), and to determine the dosage for subsequent studies.
This is a multicenter prospective non-drug screening study. The working period is 12 months. There is no research product to be followed or used in the study. Demographic data, medical and family histories of the patients included in the study will be collected at the first admission. The following laboratory values of the patients will be collected: - Alanine Transaminase (ALT) - Aspartate Transaminase (AST) - Gamma Glutamyl Transferase (GGT) - Creatine Phosphokinase (CPK) - In addition, physical examination information and Abdominal USG and Liver Biopsy Results, if any, will be collected. Following the above scans, enzyme analysis for late-onset Pompe disease in boys and girls and adolescents with high CPK levels and molecular genetic tests for Duchenne muscular dystrophy in boys and adolescents with high CPK levels will be performed.
The main objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of Viltolarsen compared to placebo in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) patients amenable to exon 53 skipping.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of oral weekly glucocorticoid steroids in patients with Becker Muscular Dystrophy (BMD), an inherited disorder in which patients experience weakness of the legs and pelvis, and Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy (LGMD), an inherited disorder in which patients experience progressive muscular weakness predominately in their hip and shoulders. The primary objective is safety which we the investigators will measure using laboratory testing and forced vital capacity (FVC), a breathing test that measures the strength of your lungs. The secondary objective is efficacy which will be measured by a change in MRI muscle mass, improved muscle performance, and quality of life. The investigators hypothesize that patients who receive oral weekly glucocorticoid steroids will have improviements in strength and quality of life compared to their baseline. Furthermore, the investigators anticipate that oral weekly glucocorticoid steroids will not have significant adverse impact on patients.
Dystrophinopathy is a term of X-linked recessive genetic disease, including Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, Becker Muscular Dystrophy, and the X-linked dilated cardiomyopathy. The aim of this study is to determine the clinical spectrum and natural progression of dystrophinopathy in a prospective multicenter natural history study, to assess the clinical, genetic of patients with dystrophinopathy to optimize clinical management.
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.
