Filter by:Compare systolic function of left ventricle (LV) and right ventricle (VD) by 2D strain evaluation in Duchenne muscular dystrophy children versus a control group.
Placebo-controlled, multi-centre, randomized, double-blind dose escalation study. The aim is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) and safety of SMT C1100 in paediatric patients with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) who follow a balanced diet.
The proposed phase I clinical trial is a pilot study to evaluate safety and biological activity of the rAAVrh74.MCK.micro-Dystrophin vector administered by an intramuscular route. This study will evaluated the micro-Dystrophin vector as a potential dystrophin replacement mechanism for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. Two cohorts will undergo gene transfer in a standard three-six dose escalation scheme to establish maximum tolerated dose (MTD) using toxicity. A minimum of three subjects will be enrolled into each cohort. The first cohort will receive a total dose of 3E11 vg. The second cohort will receive 1E12 vg total dose.
This study is being performed as a post-approval safety study (PASS), per the Pharmacovigilance Risk Assessment Committee (PRAC) of the European Medicines Agency (EMA), to gather data on Translarna (ataluren) safety, effectiveness, and prescription patterns in routine clinical practice.
The proposed clinical trial is an outgrowth of the safety record and functional improvement seen in the BMD follistatin gene therapy trial. In this study the investigators propose to inject AAV1.CMV.huFS344 at a total dose of 2.4E12 vg/kg to six DMD patients. This dose will be divided between gluteal muscles, quadriceps and tibialis anterior. This is a wider distribution of vector than given to BMD patients, who overall improved the distance walked on the 6MWT without adverse events related to viral transduction into a single muscle.
The study is to demonstrate non-inferiority of spironolactone vs. eplerenone in preserving cardiac and pulmonary function in patients with preserved LV ejection fraction. Males with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) confirmed clinically and by mutation analysis will be enrolled. Subjects will be randomized to either eplerenone or spironolactone. Subjects will use a drug diary to record daily compliance of taking the study medication as well as any concerns they may have during the study period. Subjects will undergo cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) and pulmonary function tests (PFT) at baseline and then again at 12 months post enrollment. Subjects will also complete a quality of life questionnaire at baseline and 12 months. Degree of elbow contracture will be measured using a goniometer at baseline and 12 months.
The purpose of this protocol is to perform Electrical Impedance Myography (EIM) testing on healthy children and children with duchenne muscular dystrophy so as to develop a new, convenient tool for the office based assessment of children with a wide variety of neuromuscular conditions.
The purpose of this study is to see whether PRO044 is safe and effective to use as medication for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) patients with a mutation around location 44 in the DNA for the dystrophin protein.
The European Home Mechanical Ventilation Registry (EHMVR) will enable a thorough evaluation of HMV by documenting the characteristics of HMV patients and their treatment. This will facilitate a prospective, observational study to identify the primary indications for HMV, describe patterns of HMV use in European countries, and characterize changes in the initiation and utilization of HMV over time. The registry will target all adult individuals who have an indication for HMV. In the EHMVR, patient data from routine clinical care will be documented using an electronic case report form (eCRF). The eCRF will record: patient demographic data; diagnostic information (including primary diagnosis, 6-minute walk time, the presence of depression, and quality of life); blood gases; ventilation treatment (including type of ventilator, modes and settings, interfaces used); follow-up data (including failure rates, side effects, technical issues). An initial Pilot Phase will be launched with the aim to enrol at least 200 patients over a 6-month period to determine the feasibility of the registry. Steering committee members and their institutions will be the main participants in the Pilot Phase. After completion of the Pilot Phase, the registry will be expanded across Europe with the goal of enrolling approximately 10,000 patients over 5 years.
This is a first-in-human, multiple-dose 2-part study to assess the safety, tolerability, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics of SRP-4053 in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) patients with deletions amenable to exon 53 skipping.
