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.

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.

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.

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.
