Simple blood test may predict muscle disease severity
NCT ID NCT07415837
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is looking at whether a molecule in the blood called miR-1 can help doctors understand how muscle diseases like Duchenne muscular dystrophy and myotonic dystrophy are progressing. Researchers will compare miR-1 levels in 104 people, including patients with different muscle conditions and healthy volunteers. The goal is to see if miR-1 levels match how severe the disease is, which could lead to a simple blood test for monitoring these conditions.
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 lead to a simple blood test to monitor muscle disease progression, helping doctors adjust treatments earlier.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early observational study, not a treatment trial. It may find that miR-1 levels do not reliably reflect disease severity, or results may not apply to all muscle conditions.

Inclusion Criteria: * Age: Participants must be older than 2 years of age * Consent: Participants (or their legal guardians) must provide free and informed consent,. For children, the consent is oral for those under 6 years old and written for those over 6,. * Social Security: Every participant must be affiliated with the French social security system. * Participants must have a diagnosed neuromuscular pathology : the eligible pathologies are Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1 (DM1 or Steinert's disease), Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD), Becker Muscular Dystrophy (DMB), or congenital myopathies or are healthy participants. Exclusion Criteria: * Refusal to participate expressed by the subject or their parental authority. * Engaging in intense and unusual physical effort within 10 days before the blood draw. * Current use of any treatment with systemic, muscular, or cardiac effects that could interfere with the study's biological results. * Subjects or their legal guardians who are under tutelage, curatorship, deprived of liberty, or under judicial protection. * Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding. * The presence of an additional pathology that, in the judgment of the clinician, could interfere with the biological findings
