DUCHENNE MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY (DMD)

This study tests an investigational drug called ENTR-601-44 in 24 boys and young men with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) whose genetic mutation can be treated by skipping a specific part of the gene (exon 44). The trial has two parts: first, to find the safest and most effecti…

This study tests an investigational drug called ENTR-601-45 in people with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) who have a specific genetic change (exon 45 skipping). The goal is to check the drug's safety, find the right dose, and see if it can help muscles work better. About 24 ma…

This study tests a new medicine called DYNE-251 in boys aged 4 to 18 with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) who can still walk. The goal is to see if it helps them move better and slows muscle damage. Participants will receive either the drug or a placebo every 4 weeks for about …

This early-phase trial tests a gene therapy called SPOT-03 in 9 boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), aged 2 to 8. The main goal is to see if the treatment is safe and tolerable. Researchers will also check if it increases dystrophin protein levels in muscles, which could …

This study tests whether playing virtual reality games can help people with Duchenne muscular dystrophy improve their arm and hand function. 36 participants will either receive standard physiotherapy or the same therapy plus VR games using a Meta Quest 3 headset. The games are de…

This study aims to understand how heart problems develop in people with Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophy, as well as in carriers. Researchers will collect cardiac MRI scans and clinical data from 1,000 participants to build a registry. Using advanced image analysis and deep…

This study will test how the heart drug empagliflozin is absorbed and processed in 10 children with Duchenne muscular dystrophy, ages 8 to 18. The goal is to find the best dose for protecting the heart in this rare disease. Participants will take the drug by mouth and have blood …

This study is testing whether a watch-like device worn on the ankle can measure how well toddlers with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) move during their daily activities. Researchers will ask 30 boys with DMD and 30 without (ages 1-3) to wear the device for three 28-day periods…

This study will collect electronic health records from up to 2500 people with Duchenne or Becker muscular dystrophy, including female carriers, across U.S. clinics. The data will be combined with patient-reported information to give researchers a fuller picture of the diseases. T…

This study follows 105 boys from birth to age 3 who have Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), identified through newborn screening. Researchers will measure motor and cognitive skills over time to understand how the disease develops in early childhood. The goal is to gather informa…

This study looks back at the last 10 years in Denmark to understand how many people use breathing machines at home through a tube in their windpipe. Researchers will track which diseases lead to this need and how many patients survive one year after starting. The goal is to spot …

This study is testing whether special insoles worn inside shoes can measure how well children with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) or spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) walk. About 106 participants, including healthy children, will wear the insoles during walking tests and in daily …

This study is testing whether a protein called titin, found in urine, can serve as a reliable marker of muscle injury in people with Duchenne or Becker muscular dystrophy. Researchers will measure titin levels before and after activities like walking down stairs, and track daily …

This study aims to understand how different types of changes in the DMD gene are linked to heart problems in boys and young men with Duchenne or Becker muscular dystrophy. Researchers will use heart tests and blood samples to look for early signs of heart issues. The study involv…

This study uses special wearable devices to monitor how babies and children with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) or Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) move at home. About 100 children will wear a sensor-filled jumpsuit or an ankle monitor to track their motor skills over up to 30 mo…
