Race against time: new drug aims to slow muscle loss in boys with devastating disease

NCT ID NCT04587908

Summary

This study is testing whether an oral drug called TAS-205 can help slow the progression of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). It involves about 104 boys and young men with DMD, split into groups based on whether they can still walk. The main goal is to see if the drug improves the time it takes to stand up from the floor over 52 weeks and to check its safety. After the initial year, participants can choose to continue taking the drug in an open-label extension.
