Filter by:The LYNX study is a 2-part, multicenter, Phase 2 study of safety, pharmacokinetics and biomarkers in children with Duchenne muscular dystrophy including a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled part A, followed by an open-label part B.
The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and dystrophin protein levels in muscle tissue following multiple intravenous (IV) doses of DYNE-251 in participants with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) amenable to exon 51 skipping. The study consists of 3 periods: a multiple-ascending dose (MAD) / placebo-controlled period (24 weeks), an open-label period (24 weeks) and a long-term extension period (96 weeks).
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is the most common, progressive, irreversible muscular dystrophy. The pulmonary function is crucial for the duration of life in this disease. The European Respiratory Society is currently focused on digital health, seeking to define the realistic innovations for digital respiratory medicine to support professionals and patients during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aimed to investigate whether it is possible to monitor pulmonary function at home by using an individual electronical spirometry system in children with Duchenne muscular dystrophy DMD. The second aim of the study is the implementation of respiratory telerehabilitation and the assessment of its impact on pulmonary function (FVC).
The hypothesis tested here is that a lower dose of intermittent oral corticosteroids (5mg/kg/week) will be equally effective to the 10mg/kg/week dose.
The primary objective of the Schulze study is to evaluate the function of the upper limbs of subjects diagnosed with neuromuscular disorders, with and without use of the Abilitech Assist device in the clinic and home environments. Functional outcomes will include documenting active range of motion and the ability to perform activities of daily living (ADLs) using the standardized Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) and the Role Evaluation of Activities of Life (REAL) assessments. Secondary objectives are to assess the safety record and report on adverse events (AEs) and parameters related to device usage, including device usage time and the time required to don/doff the device. Secondary objectives also include characterization of user upper limb performance based on etiology.
A study of sevasemten (EDG-5506) in Becker muscular dystrophy (known as CANYON) and pivotal cohort (known as GRAND CANYON). The EDG-5506-201 CANYON study was expanded to include an additional 120 adult participants in a cohort called GRAND CANYON, that is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of sevasemten in adults with Becker. CANYON is fully enrolled; GRAND CANYON is currently enrolling.
Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy is a genetic disease that causes progressive muscle weakness. There is now substantial evidence that boys with this disease do not demonstrate age-related gains in their cognitive skills. The goals of this study are (i) to use a technology-enabled neurobehavioral assessment called National Institutes of Health Toolbox Cognition Battery (NIHTB-CB) to assess brain development over time; (ii) engage with key-stakeholders to understand how neurodevelopmental problems like attention-deficit hyperactivity, autism spectrum affects individuals (and/or) families, so that we can understand meaningful effects of a potential treatment at an individual level, and (iii) to investigate using brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) changes in brain connectivity.
This is a 24-month, observational study of 50 participants with Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD)
This study investigates the correlation between assessments measuring functional capacity and functional capability in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
This project will assess the vascular responsiveness in leg muscles of boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) to one single dose of tadalafil, a common vasodilator drug, using non-invasive techniques (MRI or Doppler ultrasound) and exercise testing. These findings will provide proof of concept for a subsequent intervention study to demonstrate efficacy of longer-term tadalafil to counter sympathetic vasoconstriction and slow disease progression in DMD. It will also inform whether a group of patients do not respond to the drug.
