Data dive: 2500 Patients' records could speed up duchenne treatment advances
NCT ID NCT07609394
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study will collect electronic health records from up to 2500 people with Duchenne or Becker muscular dystrophy, including female carriers, across U.S. clinics. The data will be combined with patient-reported information to give researchers a fuller picture of the diseases. The goal is to speed up treatment development and improve care standards, but no new drug or therapy is being tested.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help researchers develop better treatments and refine care standards for Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophy.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It may not directly improve outcomes, and data quality depends on how consistently clinics provide records.

Inclusion Criteria: * Duchenne or Becker muscular dystrophy or female carrier * Must be a patient at an institution that has an established EHR integration set up with PPMD's Interchange * Must provide consent to have their EHR data pushed to the Interchange and linked to existing Registry data, if applicable Exclusion Criteria: * Individuals with other forms of muscular dystrophy * Individuals who do not provide consent Individuals with Duchenne/Becker who have severe mobility/strength issues need to provide consent and participate with assistance from a caregiver. Adults with communication impairments and/or intellectual disabilities (considered the "decisionally impaired" group for purposes of this study) will be able to consent with the assistance of the adults who are designated Legally Authorized Representative (LAR). Without assistance, this group will be excluded from participation because the consent process.
