Summary
This study tests an experimental drug called RO7204239 in 51 adults with facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD), a genetic condition that causes progressive muscle weakness. The drug is designed to block a protein that limits muscle growth, aiming to slow muscle loss. Participants receive either the drug or a placebo, and researchers measure changes in muscle volume and safety over time.
