Clinical Trial Finder

The DMD Hub’s Clinical Trial Finder brings together trustworthy and reliable information on all existing and upcoming trials for Duchenne muscular dystrophy in the UK.

Our Clinical Trial Finder has been designed for patients and caregivers, to be as accessible and comprehensive as possible. Every trial has information on outcome measures, inclusion criteria and an easy to understand lay summary. You can use search filters to find trials that are relevant to you and download a fact sheet for each trial. The information on each trial has been sourced directly from industry and hospitals and is verified by Duchenne UK and the DMD Hub management team.

Please note that the DMD Hub is not responsible for the direct recruitment of patients to trials. Although we work closely with sites to ensure the recruitment status for every trial is accurate and up to date, there may be a delay in updating the Clinical Trial Finder while the patient screening process takes place.

We recommend that UK patients/parent and caregivers register with the Central Recruitment Pilot Project, which will enable trial sites to contact you directly if you are eligible for a study. 

The DMD Hub is not promoting any particular trial or therapy.  You should always consult your neuromuscular consultant before joining a trial.

Please remember that this information relies on the sponsors and trial sites keeping the DMD Hub updated with accurate information.

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.

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

NS Pharma - RACER53-X

Study to Assess the Safety and Efficacy of Viltolarsen in Ambulant Boys With DMD (RACER53-X)

Hub Summary

This is a Phase 3, multi-center, open-label extension study in ambulant boys with DMD who have completed the 48-week treatment period of either viltolarsen or placebo in Study NS-065/NCNP-01-301.

The dystrophin gene has 79 pieces called exons. These link together to form a code which instructs the body to make dystrophin. If there is a fault, as in DMD, the sequence is broken and the code cannot be read. Exon skipping drugs complete the sequence and leads to a shortened dystrophin being produced that still contains the important pieces of this molecule.

NS Pharma - RACER53

A Phase 3 Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Multi-center Study to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of Viltolarsen in Ambulant Boys With Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD)

Hub Summary

This is a placebo-controlled phase 3 study, designed to investigate the efficacy and safety of NS Pharma's exon skipping drug, Viltolarsen. It will be focusing on patients with mutations amenable to exon 53 skipping and will involve a weekly intravenous infusion over 48 weeks.

The dystrophin gene has 79 pieces called exons. These link together to form a code which instructs the body to make dystrophin. If there is a fault, as in DMD, the sequence is broken and the code cannot be read. Exon skipping drugs complete the sequence and leads to a shortened dystrophin being produced that still contains the important pieces of this molecule.

Disease translation in DMD: Neuromuscular rare disease translational research in patients with DMD.

Disease translation in DMD

Hub Summary

This study is designed to study a number of genes considered to be modifiers for DMD. This translational research will identify and obtain DNA samples and clinical information from 400 cases with DMD. This data will then be grouped into clinically and genetically defined groups. The DNA of the participants will be analysed and correlated to motor performance, age at loss of ambulation, severity of respiratory failure and severity of cardiac impairment.

Hub Summary

This phase 3 study is designed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of two doses of eteplirsen. Part 1 (now closed for recruitment) will investigate two doses with Part 2 comparing the most effective dose from Part 1 with a 30mg/kg dose of eteplirsen.
