Roche- RO7239361 [TERMINATED]
Clinical trial to Evaluate the Efficacy, Safety and Tolerability of RO7239361 in Ambulatory Boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy
Hub Summary
Please note the development of this drug was stopped after this trial failed to reach its objectives.
This placebo-controlled study is designed to assess the efficacy, safety and tolerability of two different doses of RO7239361 in ambulatory males with DMD. RO7239361 is a subcutaneously delivered treatment which inhibits myostatin.
Myostatin is a protein in the body which inhibits muscle growth and it is required to stop muscles from growing too large. Myostatin production increases naturally with age. It is thought that inhibiting myostatin function could lead to increased muscle size and strength in patients with DMD.
