NCT07037862
This is a study of the investigational medicine ENTR-601-44 in participants who have Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), a rare genetic condition. The researchers want to: Test how safe ENTR-601-44 is, learn about any side effects, and look at the potential positive effects of ENTR-601-44, compared to placebo. Placebo looks like the investigational medicine but does not contain any active ingredient. In this summary ENTR-601-44 and placebo are both called study treatments. The study has 2 parts: * Part A * A Double-Blind Period, to evaluate if ENTR-601-44 is safe and to determine the best dose of ENTR-601-44 for Part B. * Following the Double-Blind period, participants will roll into an open-label treatment period during which the safety and efficacy of extended dosing will be evaluated. * Part B * To further evaluate the effect and safety of ENTR-601-44 at the dose determined in Part A. Participants will: * Receive study treatment in the form of multiple intravenous (IV) infusions (slow injection) into a vein over the course of several weeks in Part A and in Part B * Visit the clinic regularly for checkups and tests such as: blood and urine tests, physical examinations, questionnaires, and exercise tests. Participants will have a muscle biopsy at the beginning of their participation and after their last dose to allow researchers to compare whether there have been changes in the muscle as a result of the study drug. Participants are allowed to continue receiving their standard of care therapy for DMD during the study, as long as their health remains stable.
NCT07437378
Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is a progressive X-linked neuromuscular disorder characterized by muscle degeneration, pseudohypertrophy, and declining functional mobility. This cross-sectional observational study investigates the relationship between gastrocnemius muscle architecture and functional ability in ambulatory children with DMD. Muscle thickness and fascicle length were assessed using ultrasonography and correlated with motor function and ankle plantarflexion during gait.
NCT07423026
Every year, 100 boys are born in the UK with a rare muscle disease called Duchenne muscular dystrophy. These boys cannot make an important muscle protein called dystrophin. They become weaker as they get older and lose the ability to walk as teenagers. This is a life-limiting condition. There is no cure, but medicines are being made that could help these boys make dystrophin. These medicines are most likely to work best in toddlers, before their muscles become damaged. There is no way of testing these medicines in children under four. In older children, it is possible to measure how well and how quickly a child can do movements like sitting up, standing up, and running. Unfortunately, these tests are not suitable for toddlers as they often struggle to listen and do what they are asked to do. Tiredness and mood can also affect their scores. Luckily, there is a new way of testing how well children move. They can wear special watch-like devices on their ankles that record information about their steps as they go about their normal lives. This is a good way of testing how well a child walks. It is now used to test medicines in children over four years old. Our aim is to test whether this device works well in children under four. This study will invite 30 boys with DMD (and their parent/caregiver) and 30 boys without DMD aged 1-3 years old from across the country to join the study. There are no hospital visits. Children will receive the watch-like devices to wear for three blocks of 28-days over six months during their normal daily activities. At the start and end of the study, a physiotherapist will visit the homes of boys with DMD. They will check their movements using other tests. The investigators will find out 1) if young boys are happy to wear the device, 2) how it compares to other tests, and 3) if it can detect changes in walking ability. This study could give us a way to test medicines in younger children. Wearable devices could cut down the travel and stress of tests for boys and their families. Children with learning or behavioural difficulties, and children living far from research centres could now also take part in studies of new medicines. This study could bring us a step closer to treating this life-limiting disease.
NCT07129954
Primary objectives WP1: Evaluate the prevalence of FOF in the study population and how this varies over time. Evaluate whether there are relationships between the variables investigated (clinical, motor, cognitive, psychological) and the presence of FOF. WP2: To evaluate, among those who presented disabling FOF, the effects of two different therapeutic approaches: motor rehabilitation vs. motor rehabilitation plus cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy. Secondary objectives WP1: To evaluate whether different profiles defined by specific clinical, motor, cognitive, psychological, and personological characteristics can be characterized among patients with dystrophy and FOF and how these impact functionality, activity, participation, and quality of life. WP2: Evaluate the effects of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and a motor treatment on cognitive and psychological aspects, the frequency of falls, and the functional validity.
NCT06392724
The study will evaluate the safety and tolerability of GEN6050X gene therapy in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) patients amenable to exon 50 skipping.
NCT06833931
The study consists of 3 periods: A Screening Period (up to 45 days), a double-blind, placebo-controlled Multiple Ascending Dose (MAD) Period (28 weeks), and a Long-Term Extension (LTE) Period (108 weeks). The primary purpose of the MAD period is to evaluate the safety and tolerability and levels of dystrophin after multiple ascending intravenous (IV) doses of PGN-EDO51 administered to participants with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). During the MAD period, participants will be randomized to either receive PGN-EDO51 or placebo in a 3:1 fashion, meaning that participants have a 75% chance of receiving PGN-EDO51 and a 25% chance of receiving placebo during this period. The primary purpose of the open-label LTE period is to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of PGN-EDO51 in participants who have completed the MAD period. All participants who roll-over into the LTE will receive PGN-EDO51 (no placebo in the LTE).
NCT06925269
The purpose of this study is to understand DMD functional losses or abilities and their association with independence and quality of life from the perspective of individuals with DMD and/or and their caregivers. This is a qualitative interview study in which individuals with DMD and/or their caregivers will be asked to participate in a semi-structured, approximately 60- minute interview. Interviews will focus on functional abilities and independence. Caregivers and boys with DMD will be interviewed. This study includes no treatment nor intervention; however, some participants are being treated by a drug that is approved in the U.S. and the U.K. and under investigation in other geographies.

NCT01380964
The purpose of this study is to identify potential biomarkers for the diagnosis, disease progression assessment and response to treatment in patients with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.
