First human test of gene therapy for devastating muscle disease

NCT ID NCT03362502

Summary

This early-stage study tested the safety of a single dose of an experimental gene therapy, called PF-06939926, in boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). The main goal was to see if the treatment was safe and tolerable, while also checking if it helped produce the missing muscle protein, dystrophin. The study was terminated and included both boys who could walk and those who could not.
