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.

Ataluren long-term

Study of Ataluren for previously treated patients with nmDBMD in Europe, Israel, Australia and Canada

Hub Summary

DMD is caused by a mutation in the gene which produces dystrophin. Dystrophin functions to maintain muscle structure and function. The loss of dystrophin in DMD leads to muscle weakness and loss of ambulation. A nonsense mutation is a specific type of mutation which is the cause of DMD in 10-15% of patients.

Ataluren is a drug designed to make the body's machinery less sensitive to nonsense mutations. This phase 3 trial is designed to assess the long-term safety and tolerability of Ataluren.

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.

RIM4DMD

Rimeporide in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy

Hub Summary

Patients with DMD have imbalanced levels of calcium and sodium in their muscle cells, this is thought to play a key part in the damage which occurs to muscles. This study is evaluating the safety and tolerability of rimeporide. Rimeporide is a drug which works by inhibiting the movement of sodium and calcium from muscle cells. Inhibition of this mechanism has been proven to be efficient in preventing inflammation and fibrosis (muscle damage) in animal models. In addition to the preventative effect on muscle damage, rimeporide was also shown to be cardioprotective. 

This investigational treatment could have no restriction on age and is not mutation specific, meaning it could treat all patients with DMD. This phase 1b study will examine Rimeporide in patients aged 6 to 14 years.

KINEDMD

KINEDMD

Hub Summary

This study is for proof of concept, designed to use artificial intelligence to identify kinematic biomarkers (fingerprints of movement) of DMD progression. This could speed up drug development for new therapies and repurposed drugs, in order to deliver treatments to children as fast as possible.

Once fingerprints of movement specific for DMD boys are identified, the results will be published and made available to the whole community. This pilot study also wishes to lay the foundation for future validation of these novel biomarkers. This is an opportunity to take part in innovative natural history research that could improve clinical trial design for future trials.

Genethon- Microdystrophin Gene Therapy (GNT-016-MYDF)

GNT-016-MYDF: A phase I/II/III study with a dose determination part followed by an efficacy and safety evaluation of selected dose part and then by a long-term follow-up part in ambulant boys aged 6 to 10 years with DMD

Hub Summary

GNT0004 is a recombinant adenovirus-associated viral (AAV) vector gene therapy, composed of an AAV8 serotype capsid containing a sequence-optimised gene for a human microdystrophin.

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a neuromuscular disorder caused by dystrophin gene mutations leading to absence (almost absence) of functional dystrophin, a key protein that prevents muscle cell damage during physiological contractions. Conceptually, adding a functional copy of the gene to muscle cells would, in principle, treat the underlying cause of the disease. However, there are two main obstacles to overcome to achieve this. First, a vehicle (vector) is needed to transport the functioning gene to target muscle cells. AAV capsids are frequently used as the vehicle to transport genes in other gene therapy products. The specific type of AAV capsid in GNT0004 is called AAV8. The second obstacle to overcome is the size of the dystrophin gene. It is one of the largest genes in our bodies and because it is so large it cannot fit inside the AAV capsid. To address this obstacle, the Genethon research group has developed a miniaturized but functional version of dystrophin (Microdystrophin).

The principle of GNT0004 is to deliver an optimized microdystrophin protein to target tissues (heart and skeletal muscles) in DMD subjects. It is expected to significantly delay or slow down the progression of the disease in humans in a similar manner to how it has shown to be able to do this in animal models with the disease.

In order to help GNT0004 reach muscles throughout the body, GNT0004 will be given as a one-time intravenous (IV) infusion.

D-Brain

Defining outcome measures for behavioural and emotional problems in dystrophinopathies

Hub Summary

Research has shown that in a proportion of individuals with DMD and BMD, there might be some involvement of how the brain works. This can result in some individuals having a degree of learning difficulties, behavioural or psychological difficulties.

To investigate this, we are conducting a large cohort study to identify which part of the DMD gene is responsible for the development of these complications and help us further define and develop robust clinical assessments which will outline psychological profiles for DMD and BMD patients.

The study will involve two consecutive visits, which will include assessment of cognition (thinking and problem solving) and behaviour (inattention, anxiety, hyperactivity, etc.) . These two visits will be repeated after 6 months. For those interested there is also the possibility of participating in the MRI component of the study.

This study will cover your travel expenses and will provide you with detailed feedback on your son’s potential difficulties that can be used to receive educational support, to get a referral for local authorities or for your own personal use as it might give you some useful insights about your son’s behaviour.

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.

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

Outcome measures

Outcome measures in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy: A natural history study

Hub Summary

With so many new therapies emerging for DMD, it is important we understand the natural history of the disease. This natural history study will assess the natural history of DMD sing a selection of assessment tools. The aim is to obtain natural history data to capture disease progression linking the ambulant and non-ambulant phases of DMD. This study will also provide an insight into the relationship between different assessment tools which are used in the clinic.

BIND 2

Brain INvolvement in Dystrophinopathies (BIND): Deep Functional Phenotyping of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy and Becker Muscular Dystrophy Patients (WP5 and WP6) Part 2: a Neurobehavioural and MRI Study

Hub Summary

The objective of this study is to understand the relationship between DMD and BMD brain comorbidities, and the location of the gene mutation which causes the disease.

The investigators will recruit both patients who have completed a related online study (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier NCT04583917) and patients directly recruited from participating clinics or research settings. These patients will undergo a structured cognitive and neurobehavioural assessment. A subgroup of patients assessed in the research setting will be invited to also attend a second visit involving a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of the brain.

The investigators aim to recruit 80 participants in the UK and the number of participants in the remaining countries will be 190 patients.

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.

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.
