Progressive muscular dystrophy

This study tested a gene therapy called SRP-9003 for people with limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2E (LGMD2E), a rare genetic disease that causes muscle weakness. The treatment aimed to deliver a working gene to muscle cells to help them produce a missing protein. Only 6 peopl…

This study tested an experimental drug called losmapimod in 14 adults with FSHD1, a rare genetic condition that causes progressive muscle weakness. The main goal was to check safety and tolerability, and to see if the drug affects certain biological markers. The trial was termina…

This study tested a drug called losmapimod for people with a rare muscle-weakening disease called FSHD. The goal was to see if the drug could slow muscle loss and improve arm function over 48 weeks. About 260 adults with FSHD were randomly assigned to receive either losmapimod or…

This phase 2 trial tested the drug losmapimod in 76 adults with FSHD, a genetic condition that causes progressive muscle weakness. Participants took either losmapimod or a placebo for 48 weeks to see if the drug was safe and could help control the disease. The study was terminate…

This was a very early (Phase 1) study testing a gene therapy called SRP-6004 for people with limb girdle muscular dystrophy type 2B/R2, a rare muscle-weakening disease. The goal was to see if a single IV infusion of the therapy is safe and can help the body produce a missing prot…

This early-stage trial tested a gene therapy called SRP-9004 in just 4 people with limb girdle muscular dystrophy type 2D/R3, a rare muscle-weakening disease. The main goal was to check safety, not effectiveness. The study was terminated early, so results are limited.

This study collected bone, cartilage, skin, and fat tissue from 50 patients undergoing surgery at Children's National Medical Center. The goal was to grow cells from these tissues in the lab and analyze them to better understand bone and connective tissue diseases. The study was …

This study looked at one person with facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) to better understand the disease. Researchers examined muscle tissue and checked for specific biomarkers. The goal was to learn more about how FSHD affects the body, not to test a treatment.
