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. 

Sign up to the DMD Hub mailing list to be notified of new clinical trials and research studies and DMD Hub news.

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

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.

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.

Catabasis - Galaxy DMD [TERMINATED]

An Open-Label Extension Study of Edasalonexent in Boys With Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

Hub Summary

This is an open label extension trial for patients who completed the POLARIS-DMD trial, and their siblings who meet the inclusion criteria between the ages of 4-12yrs (up to their 13th birthday). 

This trial is looking at the safety, tolerability and durability of taking edasalonexent over a long period of time. Edasalonexent has been shown to delay the progression of DMD and could provide an alternative to steroids. It is in tablet form and taken orally (by mouth) three times a day.

Phase 3 PolarisDMD Trial [TERMINATED]

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.

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.

Hydrotherapy in DMD

Hydrotherapy for health in boys and adolescents with Duchenne muscular dystrophy

Hub Summary

Exercise is very important for young people to help keep them healthy. It could be as important for children and young people who have a muscle disease, like Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Hydrotherapy is a form of exercise that involves doing exercises with a physiotherapist in a heated swimming pool.  

We are running a study to try to better understand the impact that hydrotherapy might have on young people with DMD, and whether or not it offers any benefits to their physical and mental wellbeing. We will use the findings from the study to develop simple guides to advise on activities and exercise while in the water.
