Summary

This study tested a drug called tideglusib against a placebo in 56 children aged 6 to 16 with congenital myotonic dystrophy, a rare genetic muscle disorder. The goal was to see if tideglusib could reduce symptoms like muscle weakness and breathing problems. The trial was completed, but results are not yet publicly available.

Use of strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g clarithromycin, telithromycin, ketoconazole, itraconazole, posaconazole, nefazodone, idinavir and ritonavir) within 4 weeks prior to Baseline 5. Concurrent use of drugs metabolized by CYP3A4 with a narrow therapeutic window (e.g. warfarin and digitoxin) 6. Current enrollment in a clinical trial of an investigational drug or enrollment in a clinical trial of an investigational drug in the last 6 months 7. Existing or historical medical conditions or complications (e.g. neurological, cardiovascular, renal, hepatic, endocrine, gastrointestinal or respiratory disease) which would cause the investigator to conclude that the subject will not be able to perform the study procedures or assessments or would confound interpretation of data obtained during assessment 8.
