Completed Disease control Sponsor: PTC Therapeutics Source: ClinicalTrials.gov ↗

Summary

This study aimed to check the long-term safety of a drug called ataluren in people with Duchenne muscular dystrophy caused by a specific 'nonsense' genetic mutation. It involved 270 participants who had already taken ataluren in a previous trial, or were siblings of those participants. The goal was to monitor patients for side effects and health changes while they continued taking the drug until it became commercially available or they entered another study.
