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.

Join The DMD Hub, to stay up-to-date with the latest DMD clinical trials updates.

IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING THE IMPACT OF COVID-19 ON CLINICAL TRIALS IN THE UK

Due to the impact of COVID-19 all clinical trial sites in the UK have implemented some restrictions on screening, randomisation and study visits. 

The situation is changing on a daily basis and it is difficult for the sites to provide us with updates proactively. Therefore, in order to ease the burden on sites, we will only update the clinical trail finder if a study is fully recruited or terminated. Patients should be aware that studies currently 'recruiting' on the clinical trail finder may be subject to some restrictions. 

Patients should contact sites directly for additional information on studies they believe they would be eligible to participate in. 

Patients currently enrolled into a clinical trail will be contacted directly by their site to discuss how the clinical trial is affected at that site. 

The DMD Hub is not promoting any particular trial or therapy.  You should always consult your neuromuscular consultant before joining a trial. Please note that the trial status may vary from site to site and you should contact the individual site for details.
Please remember that this information relies on the sponsors keeping the DMD Hub updated with accurate information.

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

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.

PTC Ataluren Phase 3

Phase 3 Extension study of Ataluren (PTC124) in Patients with Nonsense Mutation Dystrophinopathy

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 of Ataluren in boys with nonsense dystrophinopathies. The study will also assess changes in clinical measures such as muscle function and pulmonary function.

Study Number: NCT02090959

Phase 3 PolarisDMD Trial

Phase III Study of Edasalonexent in Boys With Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (PolarisDMD)

Hub Summary

PolarisDMD is a global, placebo controlled, Phase 3 trial for edasolonexent (CAT-1004). Edasalonexent is an NF-kB inhibitor, which could provide an alternative to steroids. Edasalonexent has been shown to preserve muscle function and substantially slow Duchenne disease progression in the MoveDMD trial.

This trial will evaluate the efficacy and safety of edasolonexent in patients with DMD, and is intended to support an application for commercial licencing of edasolonexent.
