NCT ID NCT06114056
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early-stage trial tests a single dose of a gene therapy called JWK007 in 3 boys aged 5-10 with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. The main goal is to check safety and tolerability, while also looking at whether it helps muscle function. It is a very small, first-in-human study, so results will be preliminary.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward a treatment that slows muscle decline in Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
