62 Clinical Trials for Muscular Dystrophy
This is a study of a single systemic dose of SRP-9005 in pediatric and adult participants with limb girdle muscular dystrophy type 2C/R5 (LGMD2C/R5). It is comprised of 2 parts (Part A, Part B) that will assess safety and efficacy.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn how safe and tolerable EPI-321 is and whether there may be early signs it is working in male or female adult (18 to 75 years) participants with facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) Type 1 condition. The main questions it aims to answer are: How safe is EPI-321 and how well can people handle it over time? How does EPI-321 interact with its target and does it show early signs of working? Participants will receive a single dose of EPI-321 through a vein while being closely watched in a hospital and visit the clinic regularly for tests and checkups for about 5 years after getting EPI-321.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of a single dose of INS1201 via IT administration in ambulatory male participants with DMD.

This research study is testing whether an experimental drug, called SRD-001, is safe and helps the weakened heart of patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) regain its ability to effectively pump blood to the rest of the body. SRD-001 is a form of gene therapy. The goal of SRD-001 gene therapy is to provide the heart muscle cells with extra copies of the SERCA2a gene so that they can produce more SERCA2a protein to help the heart muscle cells squeeze/contract better. Researchers will compare SRD-001 treated participants with no-treatment participants; all participants will continue to take their current heart medications. All participants will be followed very closely for 2 years and undergo cardiac magnetic resonance imaging of their heart at baseline, year 1 and year 2 along with assessment of upper limb function and lung function. After the 2 years of close follow-up, all participants will roll over into long-term follow-up where they will be called biannually for information on their current medical status.
Subjects who have enrolled in the oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy (OPMD) natural history study (Study BNTC-OPMD-NH-001) and have completed at least 6 months of follow up in Study BNTC-OPMD-NH-001 may be eligible to participate in this study, where all subjects will be treated with a single dose of BB-301. BB-301 will be injected directly into the middle pharyngeal constrictor muscle and the inferior pharyngeal constrictor muscle of the throat through the use of an open surgical procedure conducted under general anesthesia. The primary objectives of the study are to evaluate the safety of BB-301, to identify the best dose of BB-301 to administer to patients, and to characterize how well BB-301 works to improve the symptoms of dysphagia in patients with OPMD.

Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy is a genetic disease that causes progressive muscle weakness. There is now substantial evidence that boys with this disease do not demonstrate age-related gains in their cognitive skills. The goals of this study are (i) to use a technology-enabled neurobehavioral assessment called National Institutes of Health Toolbox Cognition Battery (NIHTB-CB) to assess brain development over time; (ii) engage with key-stakeholders to understand how neurodevelopmental problems like attention-deficit hyperactivity, autism spectrum affects individuals (and/or) families, so that we can understand meaningful effects of a potential treatment at an individual level, and (iii) to investigate using brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) changes in brain connectivity.
Current methods of measuring the response to new treatments for muscular dystrophies involve the examination of small pieces of muscle tissue called biopsies. The investigators are interested in finding less invasive methods that reduce the need for muscle biopsies. The purpose of this research is to learn about the possibility of detecting and measuring the activity and severity of muscular dystrophies by examining a urine sample and a blood sample, and some muscles in the arms and legs using tests called ultrasound and electrical impedance myography; both tests are painless and non-invasive. The information that is gathered from this study may help to evaluate, prevent, diagnose, treat, and improve the understanding of human muscle diseases.

This study is to recruit and establish baseline measurements for potential subjects that may be eligible for a gene therapy trial. Specifically, this trial is recruiting individuals who are suspected or have been confirmed to have Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy type 2E (LGMD2E).
The purpose of this research study is to determine the potential of magnetic resonance imaging, spectroscopy, and whole body imaging to monitor disease progression and to serve as an objective outcome measure for clinical trials in Muscular Dystrophy (MD). The investigators will compare the muscles of ambulatory or non-ambulatory boys/men with DMD with muscles of healthy individuals of the same age and monitor disease progression in those with DMD over a 5-10 year period. The amount of muscle damage and fat that the investigators measure will also be related to performance in daily activities, such as walking and the loss of muscle strength. In a small group of subjects the investigators will also assess the effect of corticosteroid drugs on the muscle measurements. Additionally, the investigators will map the progression of Becker MD following adults with this rare disease. The primary objective is to conduct a multi-centered study to validate the potential of non-invasive magnetic resonance imaging and magnetic resonance spectroscopy to monitor disease progression and to serve as a noninvasive surrogate outcome measure for clinical trials in DMD and BMD. The secondary objective is to characterize the progressive involvement of the lower extremity, upper extremity, trunk/respiratory muscles in boys/men with DMD and BMD guiding clinical trials.
Myotonic dystrophy (DM) and facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) are inherited disorders characterized by progressive muscle weakness and loss of muscle tissue. The purpose of this registry is to connect people with DM or FSHD with researchers studying these diseases. The registry will offer individuals with DM and FSHD an opportunity to participate in research that focuses of their diseases. The registry will also help scientists to accomplish research on DM and FSHD and to distribute their findings to patients and care providers.
A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Phase 3 Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Intravenous AOC 1020 for the Treatment of Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy (FSHD)
The purpose of this study is to understand DMD functional losses or abilities and their association with independence and quality of life from the perspective of individuals with DMD and/or and their caregivers. This is a qualitative interview study in which individuals with DMD and/or their caregivers will be asked to participate in a semi-structured, approximately 60- minute interview. Interviews will focus on functional abilities and independence. Caregivers and boys with DMD will be interviewed. This study includes no treatment nor intervention; however, some participants are being treated by a drug that is approved in the U.S. and the U.K. and under investigation in other geographies.
The primary goal of this study is to validate motor and functional outcomes and refine clinical trial strategies for pediatric-onset FSHD

This is a single-center, single-arm, interventional phase 1 trial to evaluate the safety and tolerability of local injection of induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)- derived CD54+ allogeneic muscle progenitor cells in individuals with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD)
Examining two strategies as potential adjuvant therapies for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD); aerobic exercise training (to induce adaptations in skeletal muscle and improve cardiovascular health) and tadalafil, an FDA-approved vasodilator (to optimize blood flow and muscle perfusion which is impaired and often overlooked in DMD). Target: improved muscle function, vascular health, and DMD treatment.
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is an X-linked disorder that causes muscle wasting, cardiopulmonary failure, and premature death. Heart failure is a leading cause of death in DMD, but substantial knowledge gaps exist regarding predisposing risk factors. In the general population, hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, and decreased heart rate variability (HRV; reflecting autonomic dysfunction) are associated with cardiomyopathy (CM). It is unclear whether these factors are associated with DMD-CM. Closing this knowledge gap may lead to novel screening and therapeutic strategies to delay progression of DMD-CM, now the leading cause of death in patients with DMD. Despite risk factors for hyperglycemia, including the use of glucocorticoids (GCs), sarcopenia, obesity, and reduced ambulation, little is known regarding glucose abnormalities in DMD. Some of these same risk factors, along with the distance needed to travel for specialty care, present significant barriers to research participation and clinical care for individuals with DMD. Remote wearable technology may improve research participation in this vulnerable population. Therefore, this study will leverage remote wearable technologies to overcome these barriers and define the relationship between dysglycemia and DMD-CM. The goal of this remote study is to evaluate rates of hyperglycemia in individuals with DMD compared to control participants using continuous glucose monitors, and to determine the relationship between hyperglycemia and heart rate variability. Participants will utilize continuous glucose monitors, cardiac monitors, and activity monitors to evaluate glucose levels, heart rate, activity, and sleep.

Despite risk factors for hyperglycemia, including the use of glucocorticoids, low muscle mass, obesity, and reduced ambulation, little is known regarding glucose abnormalities in DMD. Some of these same risk factors, along with the distance needed to travel for specialty care, present significant barriers to research participation and clinical care for individuals with DMD. Remote wearable technology may improve research participation in this vulnerable population. Therefore, this study will leverage remote wearable technologies to overcome these barriers and define the relationship between dysglycemia and DMD-CM. In this Aim of the study, the investigators will assess the utility of remote wearable technology to predict changes in traditional metrics of metabolism and cardiac function. In this pilot study, 10 individuals with DMD will undergo cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) and oral glucose tolerance tests (OGTTs) at baseline and two years. The investigators will remotely assess glycemia (using continuous glucose monitors), HRV (using extended Holter monitors), and activity (using accelerometers) every 6 months over the 2 years and evaluate if changes in wearable metrics predict changes in CMR and OGTT.
