NCT ID NCT05775848

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests a drug called BBP-418 (Ribitol) in 81 people aged 12 to 60 with limb girdle muscular dystrophy type 2I (LGMD2I), a genetic condition that causes progressive muscle weakness. Participants receive either the drug or a placebo for 36 months to see if it slows the disease and is safe. The main goal is to measure changes in muscle function and track any side effects.
