NCT ID NCT04708314

First seen Apr 04, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 6 times

Summary

This study looked at the safety of a drug called golodirsen in boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) who can no longer walk. The drug is given weekly through a vein and works by skipping a part of the genetic code to help produce a shorter but functional protein. Only 2 participants were enrolled before the study was stopped early, so the results are very limited.
