Filter by:This is a Phase 2 randomized, 2-period, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multiple ascending dose study to evaluate the safety, efficacy, PK and PD of PF-06252616 administered to ambulatory boys diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. Three intravenous (IV) dose levels will be investigated in a within subject dose escalating fashion. Subjects will be randomly assigned to 1 of 3 sequence groups for approximately 96 weeks (2 periods of 48 weeks each). In period 1, two of the sequence groups will receive PF-06252616 and one sequence group will receive placebo. In period 2, the placebo group will switch to PF-06252616 and the two remaining sequence groups will either receive placebo or PF-06252616. Efficacy will be based on an observed mean change from baseline on function (4 stair climb) of PF-06252616 as compared to the placebo at the end of period 1. Period 2 provides an opportunity to evaluate PK. Subjects will receive monthly IV infused doses of either PF-06252616 or placebo and will undergo safety evaluations (Laboratory, cardiac monitoring, physical exams, x-ray, MRI), functional evaluations (pulmonary function testing, 4 stair climb, range of motion, strength testing, Northstar Ambulatory Assessment, upper limb functional testing and the six minute walk test), pharmacokinetic testing and pharmacodynamic testing to evaluate changes in muscle volume (MRI).
This is an open label, long-term extension study in approximately 24 male DMD subjects consisting of children (ages 4-12, inclusive) and adolescents (ages 13-16, inclusive) who participated in the MP-104-CL-005 PK study.
The primary objective of this study is to explore safety and tolerability of eteplirsen in participants with advanced stage Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) who are amenable to exon 51 skipping.
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a genetic disorder caused by an absence of dystrophin and characterized by progressive muscle degeneration. There is no cure for DMD at present but, there are several strategies under-researched for treatment of DMD such as steroid treatment, gene theraphy, exon skipping, stop codon read through and gene repair, cell theraphy and theraphy with drug that help to produce utrophin protein. The aim of this study is investigate the eficacy of human umblical cord mesenchymal stem cells on DMD and understanding if wild type gene can be transfered to the patient.
The main objective of this study is to provide evidence of efficacy of eteplirsen (AVI-4658) in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) patients that are amenable to skipping exon 51. Additional objectives include evaluation of safety, biomarkers and the long-term effects of eteplirsen up to 96 weeks, followed by a safety extension (not to exceed 48 weeks).
Study to characterize the single-state and steady-state dosing of oral deflazacort in pediatric and adolescents subjects.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetic of TAS-205 in patients with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.
The purpose of this study was to study the effect of stem cell therapy in patients with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.
This research study is designed to evaluate the effects of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSCs), on Duchenne's muscular dystrophy (DMD). The potential muscle regenerative and anti-inflammatory properties of UC MSCs position them as a possible treatment option for DMD. Both of these properties could lead to potential benefits for a DMD patient.
This study is intended to build on recent findings from our laboratory showing that a single dose of tadalafil (also known as Cialis) restored normal blood flow regulation in men with Becker muscular dystrophy. The investigators now wish to extend these findings by showing that the same dose of tadalafil will also prevent muscle injury and fatigue. Patients will take a single dose of tadalafil prior to exercising. Then doctors will measure whether the patients muscles receive more blood flow and are better protected during exercise.
