Hope for duchenne: new cell therapy shows promise in Long-Term trial
NCT ID NCT04428476
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests the long-term safety and effectiveness of a cell therapy called deramiocel (CAP-1002) in people with Duchenne muscular dystrophy who completed the earlier HOPE-2 trial. Participants receive an infusion of deramiocel every 3 months for about 5 years, with the option to continue until the drug is available commercially. The goal is to see if regular treatment can help maintain upper limb function and keep side effects manageable.
