NCT ID NCT06131983

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 31 times

Summary

This study tests an experimental drug called ARO-DUX4 in 60 adults and teens with facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy type 1 (FSHD1), a genetic condition that causes muscle weakness. The main goal is to check the drug's safety and how it moves through the body. Participants receive either the drug or a placebo, and some may continue treatment in a later study.
