Genethon - Natural History of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
A Prospective, Interventional, Baseline Study In Young Male Subjects Aged From 5 to 9 Years
Hub Summary
This natural history study is looking to collect data on the natural disease course in a cohort in young male subjects aged from 5 to 9 Years over a period of 6 to 36 months using disease appropriate evaluations.
Study Number: NCT03882827
Description by Genethon
Natural history studies are becoming more and more a critical prerequisite for the development of interventional therapies, as they provide the relevant knowledge of the course of a disease without an intervention. They are also used to develop and apply standardised outcome measures for assessing changes over time, which form the basis for monitoring therapeutic efficacy in patients undergoing an experimental treatment.
GNT-014; Natural History of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy study can offer an up-to-date description of the progression of the condition according to concurrent standards of care, and provide baseline data on selected outcomes, prior entry of the subject into a phase I/II first in man study.
