New drug trial aims to protect muscle in rare genetic disease

NCT ID NCT07435129

Summary

This study is testing whether an investigational drug called apitegromab can help preserve muscle in adults with facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD), a genetic condition that causes progressive muscle weakness. About 60 participants will receive either the drug or a placebo for one year to see if it slows muscle loss. The main goal is to see if the treatment increases lean muscle volume compared to a placebo.
