This is a Phase 1/Phase 2 open-label single arm, multicenter, and multinational study with SAR446268 for treatment of male and female participants 10 to 50 years old with non-congenital myotonic dystrophy (DM) type 1 (DM1). The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of SAR446268 in knocking down dystrophia myotonica protein kinase (DMPK) messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) levels and improving neuromuscular function in DM1 participants receiving a single intravenous (IV) administration of SAR446268. The study consists of a dose escalation part (Part A) during which single ascending doses of SAR446268 will be evaluated in 3 distinct cohorts and an optional 4th dose cohort. Once a safe and effective dose is identified, additional participants will be treated in Part B, the dose expansion phase of the study. The study duration will be 110 weeks (approximately 2 years) for each participant in Parts A and B respectively and includes a 6-week screening phase and a 104-week follow-up period post-SAR446268 administration.
The primary purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of single intravenous (IV) doses of PGN-EDODM1 administered to participants with Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1 (DM1). The study consists of 2 periods: A Screening Period (up to 30 days) and a Treatment and Observation Period (16 weeks).
Building on previous work of the Myotonic Dystrophy Clinical Research Network (DMCRN), the present study seeks to overcome insufficient data on natural history; lack of reliable biomarkers; and incomplete characterization and limited biological understanding of the phenotypic heterogeneity of Myotonic Dystrophy 1 by examining strategies to improve the reliability by making further refinements in our sample collection and analysis procedures by developing strategies for managing patient heterogeneity going forward.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of VX-670 at different single and multiple doses in participants with DM1.
Myotonic dystrophy is associated with central sleep apnea, excessive daytime sleepiness, diminished working memory, impaired visuospatial skills, and deficits in problem-solving skills. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a clear, colorless fluid that surrounds and protects the brain. Changes in the composition of CSF can serve as early indicators of changes in brain activity and function. The purpose of this research is to learn about myotonic dystrophy by examining cerebrospinal fluid and brain activity in participants. The tests will be low risk and are well tolerated. The information that we gather from this study may help us evaluate, prevent, diagnose, treat, and improve our understanding of myotonic dystrophy. Funding Source- FDA OOPD
Nearly two-third of patients with myotonic dystrophy type 2 (DM2) report that impaired cognition is among the most disabling symptoms and deeply affects their quality of life. Yet, relatively little is known about how DM2 affects brain structure and cognitive function as brain imaging studies in DM2 are extremely limited. This is a prospective, cross-sectional study of brain structure and function on cognitive and motor performance in patients with DM2 \& DM1 compared to healthy controls. All participants will undergo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to evaluate brain structure and white matter integrity, a comprehensive battery of cognitive and motor measures, self-reported questionnaires, and blood collection for brain-based biomarker analysis. A subset of participants will undergo lumbar puncture for cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) collection for additional biomarker analysis and validation. This work is critical to inform the development of rigorous clinical trial designs and plan for a longitudinal study to evaluate MRI measures as imaging biomarkers of disease progression and therapeutic response in DM2 \& DM1.
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.
