Summit- Ezutromid (PhaseOut DMD) [TERMINATED]
Please note the development of this drug was stopped after this trial failed to reach its objectives.
Hub Summary
This phase 2 clinical trial is designed to assess the activity and safety of Utrophin modulation in patients with DMD with SMT C1100 (Ezutromid). Ezutromid is an orally administered small molecule utrophin modulator.
Utrophin is a bodily protein which is structurally and functionally similar to dystrophin. Utrophin is naturally produced in the early stages of muscle development but is turned off as muscle fibres mature and dystrophin increases to perform the same role. Utrophin modulation aims to maintain the production of utrophin to compensate for the absence of dystrophin in patients with DMD.
This 1 year study has an optional extension phase.
Study Number: NCT02858362
Description by Summit Therapeutics
A Phase 2 Clinical Study to Assess the Activity and Safety of Utrophin Modulation with SMT C1100 (ezutromid) in Ambulatory Paediatric Male Subjects with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD)
This is a Phase 2, open-label, study to assess the activity and safety of utrophin modulation with SMT C1100 (ezutromid) 2500 mg administered orally bid in ambulatory paediatric male subjects with DMD. Approximately 40 subjects with DMD will be enrolled in this study.
This study will be conducted in a multi-centre setting in both the United Kingdom and the United States of America and comprises of a Screening and Baseline Phase of up to 28 days, a 48-week open label Treatment Phase and a 30-day Safety Follow up Phase.
Primary Outcome Measures
- Change in MRI leg muscle parameters
- SMTC1100 (ezutromid) plasma concentrations
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Change in utrophin membrane staining via quantifiable imaging of immunostained biopsy sections.
- Change in muscle regenerating fibres by measuring via muscle biopsy a combination of fibre size and neonatal myosin positivity
- Treatment emergent adverse events (AEs) and safety laboratory abnormalities.
