NCT ID NCT05693142

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This study tests a one-time gene therapy called RGX-202 in boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). The therapy delivers a mini version of the missing dystrophin protein to muscle cells. Researchers will check safety and whether it improves muscle function, like standing and walking. The trial enrolls 65 boys aged 1 to 12.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

RGX-202 (a gene therapy that delivers a microdystrophin protein to muscle cells)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could provide a one-time treatment that slows or stops muscle decline in Duchenne muscular dystrophy, helping boys maintain strength and mobility longer.

What could go wrong

This is an early-to-mid-stage trial with only 65 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Gene therapies can cause immune reactions or other side effects, and the long-term effects are still unknown.
