Gene therapy vs. standard care: new study tracks Long-Term outcomes in duchenne patients
NCT ID NCT06270719
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study follows 500 people with Duchenne muscular dystrophy to see how well a gene therapy (ELEVIDYS) works compared to standard steroid treatment over time. Researchers will measure movement abilities, breathing, and safety, including liver problems. Participants must already be on or starting steroids, and those getting gene therapy must be at least 4 years old.

Inclusion Criteria: * Has an established clinical diagnosis of DMD based on documentation of clinical findings and prior confirmatory genetic testing using a clinical diagnostic genetic test. * Is currently receiving or has been prescribed to start chronic glucocorticoid therapy at the time of this observational study enrollment. For ELEVIDYS-treated Participants (Cohorts 1a, 1b, and 1c): * Is at least 4 years of age at the time of infusion * Will either: a) be initiating or has initiated ELEVIDYS within the last 30 days in routine clinical practice at the time of this observational study enrollment, or b) was administered ELEVIDYS in routine clinical practice and has the required minimum dataset for entry into the observational study per Sponsor approval For Standard of Care Comparators (Cohort 2): * Is at least 4 years of age at the time of enrollment * Is unexposed to DMD gene therapy at the time of this observational study enrollment Exclusion Criteria: * Has any deletion of exon 8 and/or exon 9 in the DMD gene. * Is currently participating in any DMD interventional study at the time of this observational study enrollment. * Has any prior exposure to DMD gene therapy other than that described for Cohort 1c (ELEVIDYS Retrospectively Treated Cohort). * Has a medical condition or confounding circumstances (for example, prior traumatic limitation for mobility or significant behavioral comorbidity) that, in the opinion of the Investigator, might compromise: * The participant's ability to comply with the protocol-required procedures, * The participant's wellbeing or safety, and/or * The clinical interpretability of the data collected from the participant. Other inclusion/exclusion criteria may apply.
