Gene therapy trial offers hope for boys with devastating muscle disease

NCT ID NCT04281485

Summary

This study is testing whether a one-time gene therapy is safe and can help boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) maintain their ability to walk and move. About 99 boys, aged 4 to 7, will receive either the gene therapy or a placebo infusion. The main goal is to see if the treatment improves scores on a walking and movement test after one year, and all participants will be followed for safety for 15 years.
