Study Number: NCT03508947

DYSTANCE 51 [TERMINATED]

A Randomised, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Efficacy and Safety Study of Suvodirsen (WVE-210201) With Open Label Extension in Ambulatory Patients With Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

Hub Summary

Please note that Wave have stopped the development of this drug after the Phase 1 Open-label extension failed to meet its primary endpoint. 

DYSTANCE 51 is a phase 2/3 clinical trial designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of WVE-210201 (suvodirsen) in ambulant boys with DMD mutations amenable to exon 51 skipping.

DYSTANCE 51 is comprised of two phases, a placebo-controlled phase and an open-label phase. In the placebo-controlled phase, patients will be randomized to receive suvodirsen 3 mg/kg, suvodirsen 4.5 mg/kg or placebo for 48 weeks. Dystrophin protein levels and functional outcomes will be assessed for each patient throughout the initial 48-week treatment period.

Each participant will have two biopsies in total, one at baseline, and one at either week 12, 22, or 46.

Following completion of the placebo-controlled phase of the study, patients will enter the open-label phase to receive ongoing treatment with suvodirsen. There will be no placebo or biopsies in the open label phase. However, functional assessments will continue.

Study Number: NCT03907072

Roche- RO7239361 [TERMINATED]

Clinical trial to Evaluate the Efficacy, Safety and Tolerability of RO7239361 in Ambulatory Boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy

Hub Summary

Please note the development of this drug was stopped after this trial failed to reach its objectives.

This placebo-controlled study is designed to assess the efficacy, safety and tolerability of two different doses of RO7239361 in ambulatory males with DMD. RO7239361 is a subcutaneously delivered treatment which inhibits myostatin.

Myostatin is a protein in the body which inhibits muscle growth and it is required to stop muscles from growing too large. Myostatin production increases naturally with age. It is thought that inhibiting myostatin function could lead to increased muscle size and strength in patients with DMD.

Study Number: NCT03039686

Patient Registry Translarna (Ataluren)

Long-term observational study of Translarna safety and effectiveness in usual care

Hub Summary

This phase 4 clinical study is designed to assess the safety of Translarna, also known at Ataluren. This study will follow patients who are receiving Translarna as part of their usual care for 5 years. At the patients usual visits, data will be collected to determine the safety and effectiveness of Translarna. 

Study Number: NCT02369731

Tamoxifen (TAMDMD)

Tamoxifen in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

Hub Summary

This placebo control, 48-week clinical trial will look at the treatment with Tamoxifen for both ambulant and non-ambulant patients with DMD. Tamoxifen has been used to treat breast cancer since the 1980s and is also used for hormonal disorders in pre-pubescent boys. Preliminary data in the DMD mouse model demonstrated that Tamoxifen reduced fibrosis, increased the thickness of muscle fibres, and resulted in a delay in disease progression.

Study Number: NCT03354039

Vamorolone Phase 2b (VISION-DMD)

A Study to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of Vamorolone in Boys With Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD)

Hub Summary

This Phase 2b study is designed to evaluate the efficacy, safety pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of vamorolone in comparison to corticosteroids and placebo treatments over a 24 week period. The study will also evaluate the persistence of the effect of vamorolone over a period of 48 weeks. 

The study is designed to compare 2 different doses of Vamorolone to a standard dose of corticosteroids (prednisone at 0.75 mg/kg/day) and to a placebo. Across all sites, this trial will be recruiting a total of 120 ambulant DMD patients ages 4 to <7 years. 

Study Number: NCT03439670

Italfarmaco- Givinostat (EPIDYS)

Clinical Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Givinostat in Ambulant Patients with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (EPIDYS)

Hub Summary

This study will compare the change in stair climb test and other functional tests in patients taking givinostat and patients taking a placebo. Givinostat has potential anti-inflammatory, antifibrotic and proregenerative effects.

Please note this protocol was amended early 2019.

Study Number: NCT02851797

FOR-DMD

Finding the optimum regimen for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

Hub Summary

FOR-DMD study is designed to compare three different ways of giving corticosterioids to boys with DMD. The aim of this study is to see which method increases muscle strength the most and which produces the fewest side effects. The results of this study should provide patients and caregivers clearer information and guidelines about the best ways to take corticosteroids. The study will look at the following administration of corticosteroids:

• Prednisone 0.75mg/kg/day
• Prednisone 0.75mg/kg/day with 10 days on/10 days off treatment
• Deflazacort 0.9mg/kg/day

Study Number: NCT01603407

Italfarmaco - Givinostat Extension

Givinostat in Duchenne's Muscular Dystrophy Long-term Safety and Tolerability Study

Hub Summary

This study is an open label extension, looking at the long-term safety and tolerability of GIVINOSTAT in patients who have already taken part in and completed any of the previous studies. 

GIVINOSTAT is a drug that may help to promote muscle regeneration and reduce inflammation and fibrosis in DMD patients. 

This extension is expected to last until the drug receives the necessary approvals and is available on the market or the study needs to be stopped due to safety and/or efficacy reasons.

Study Number: NCT03373968

Sarepta- ESSENCE

Study of SRP-4045 and SRP-4053 in DMD Patients

Hub Summary

This study is a stage 3 trial of Sarepta's exon 45 and exon 53 skipping drugs. Exon skipping drugs use a small piece of genetic material to skip over the part of the dystrophin gene with a mutation. The part of the dystrophin gene with a mutation varies between patients. Therefore, exon skipping trials are mutation specific. This trial requires you to be amenable to the skipping of exon 45 or 53.

The main objective of this study is to determine the efficacy of the drugs compared to a placebo in DMD patients.

Study Number: NCT02500381

Sarepta - MOMENTUM

A Phase 2, Two-Part, Multiple-Ascending-Dose Study of SRP-5051 for Dose Determination, Then Dose Expansion, in Patients With Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Amenable to Exon 51-Skipping Treatment

Hub Summary

This phase 2 study is designed to determine the maximum dose for Sarepta Therapeutics Exon 51 skipping therapy, as well as its safety and tolerability.

There will be two arms to the study - in Part A, patients will receive 1 of 5 doses of SRP-5051 monthly by intravenous infusion. Once the maximum dose has be has been determined, all patients will then roll over into Part B and will receive the maximum dose by intravenous infusion for 24 weeks. In Part B, an additional 15 patients will also be enrolled at the beginning of the study. 

Part A recruitment has now been completed and Part B will be beginning soon, involving the original patients from Part A as well as some additional patients. 

The UK sites have not yet been finalised, we will provide an update once we have these details.

Study Number: NCT04004065

Pfizer - CIFFREO

A Phase 3 Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of PF-06939926 for the Treatment of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

Hub Summary

This study is a phase 3 trial testing the safety and efficacy of Pfizer's gene therapy construct, PF-06939926. It is delivered using an adeno-associated virus, AAV, and carries a shortened version of the dystrophin gene (mini-dystrophin). The treatment will be given by an intravenous infusion. 

Two-thirds of the participants will receive the treatment. One-third will be randomly allocated to the placebo arm, but will be able to receive the treatment in the second year, so long as it remains safe to do so.

Please note that patients will need to be on daily steroids for 3 months before screening, to be eligible. They will also be able to be recruited to the trial up until their 8th birthday. For more information about the recruitment process for gene therapy trials, please click here.
