NCT ID NCT06128564

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 19, 2026 · Updated 34 times

Summary

This study tests a gene therapy called delandistrogene moxeparvovec in 13 children under 4 years old with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. The goal is to see if it is safe and helps their muscles produce dystrophin, a protein they lack. Participants receive a single IV infusion and are followed for about 5 years.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

delandistrogene moxeparvovec (gene therapy)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could provide a treatment that helps young children with Duchenne muscular dystrophy produce a key muscle protein, potentially slowing disease progression.

What could go wrong

This is an early phase 2 trial with only 13 participants, so results may not apply to all. Gene therapy carries risks like immune reactions, and long-term effects are unknown.
