Clinical Trial Finder

The DMD Hub’s Clinical Trial Finder brings together trustworthy and reliable information on all existing and upcoming trials for Duchenne muscular dystrophy in the UK.

Our Clinical Trial Finder has been designed for patients and caregivers, to be as accessible and comprehensive as possible. Every trial has information on outcome measures, inclusion criteria and an easy to understand lay summary. You can use search filters to find trials that are relevant to you and download a fact sheet for each trial. The information on each trial has been sourced directly from industry and hospitals and is verified by Duchenne UK and the DMD Hub management team.

Please note that the DMD Hub is not responsible for the direct recruitment of patients to trials. Although we work closely with sites to ensure the recruitment status for every trial is accurate and up to date, there may be a delay in updating the Clinical Trial Finder while the patient screening process takes place.

We recommend that UK patients/parent and caregivers register with the Central Recruitment Pilot Project, which will enable trial sites to contact you directly if you are eligible for a study. 

The DMD Hub is not promoting any particular trial or therapy.  You should always consult your neuromuscular consultant before joining a trial. 

Sign up to the DMD Hub mailing list to be notified of new clinical trials and research studies and DMD Hub news.

Please remember that this information relies on the sponsors and trial sites keeping the DMD Hub updated with accurate information.

DYSTANCE 51 [TERMINATED]

A Randomised, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Efficacy and Safety Study of Suvodirsen (WVE-210201) With Open Label Extension in Ambulatory Patients With Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

Hub Summary

Please note that Wave have stopped the development of this drug after the Phase 1 Open-label extension failed to meet its primary endpoint. 

DYSTANCE 51 is a phase 2/3 clinical trial designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of WVE-210201 (suvodirsen) in ambulant boys with DMD mutations amenable to exon 51 skipping.

DYSTANCE 51 is comprised of two phases, a placebo-controlled phase and an open-label phase. In the placebo-controlled phase, patients will be randomized to receive suvodirsen 3 mg/kg, suvodirsen 4.5 mg/kg or placebo for 48 weeks. Dystrophin protein levels and functional outcomes will be assessed for each patient throughout the initial 48-week treatment period.

Each participant will have two biopsies in total, one at baseline, and one at either week 12, 22, or 46.

Following completion of the placebo-controlled phase of the study, patients will enter the open-label phase to receive ongoing treatment with suvodirsen. There will be no placebo or biopsies in the open label phase. However, functional assessments will continue.

Tamoxifen (TAMDMD)

Tamoxifen in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

Hub Summary

This placebo control, 48-week clinical trial will look at the treatment with Tamoxifen for both ambulant and non-ambulant patients with DMD. Tamoxifen has been used to treat breast cancer since the 1980s and is also used for hormonal disorders in pre-pubescent boys. Preliminary data in the DMD mouse model demonstrated that Tamoxifen reduced fibrosis, increased the thickness of muscle fibres, and resulted in a delay in disease progression.

A Study to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of Vamorolone in Boys With Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD)

Hub Summary

This Phase 2b study is designed to evaluate the efficacy, safety pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of vamorolone in comparison to corticosteroids and placebo treatments over a 24 week period. The study will also evaluate the persistence of the effect of vamorolone over a period of 48 weeks. 

The study is designed to compare 2 different doses of Vamorolone to a standard dose of corticosteroids (prednisone at 0.75 mg/kg/day) and to a placebo. Across all sites, this trial will be recruiting a total of 120 ambulant DMD patients ages 4 to <7 years.

FOR-DMD

Finding the optimum regimen for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

Hub Summary

FOR-DMD study is designed to compare three different ways of giving corticosterioids to boys with DMD. The aim of this study is to see which method increases muscle strength the most and which produces the fewest side effects. The results of this study should provide patients and caregivers clearer information and guidelines about the best ways to take corticosteroids. The study will look at the following administration of corticosteroids:

  • Prednisone 0.75mg/kg/day
  • Prednisone 0.75mg/kg/day with 10 days on/10 days off treatment
  • Deflazacort 0.9mg/kg/day

Hub Summary

This study is looking at the use of Immersive Virtual Reality (IVR) to improve the uptake of physiotherapy amongst young people with DMD. The first phase will involve a design workshop to explore different scenarios on the IVR to mirror current DMD physiotherapy recommendations, with the second phase looking at testing of these scenarios by young people with DMD. The study is currently open to those patients currently being seen at Leeds Teaching Hospital and Sheffield Children's NHS Foundation Trust, and is being funded by The Children's Hospital Charity.

Sarepta- ESSENCE

Study of SRP-4045 and SRP-4053 in DMD Patients

Hub Summary

This study is a stage 3 trial of Sarepta's exon 45 and exon 53 skipping drugs. Exon skipping drugs use a small piece of genetic material to skip over the part of the dystrophin gene with a mutation. The part of the dystrophin gene with a mutation varies between patients. Therefore, exon skipping trials are mutation specific. This trial requires you to be amenable to the skipping of exon 45 or 53.

The main objective of this study is to determine the efficacy of the drugs compared to a placebo in DMD patients.

FibroGen - LELANTOS

A Phase 3, Randomized, Double-Blind, Trial of Pamrevlumab (FG-3019) or Placebo in Combination With Systemic Corticosteroids in Subjects With Non-ambulatory Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD)

Hub Summary

This phase 3 study is looking at the efficacy and safety of pamrevlumab versus a placebo, in combination with corticosteroids (deflazacourt or prednisone). It is only open to non-ambulant patients. There will be a placebo arm of the trial and 50% of the patients will be randomly allocated to each arm. Once all patients have completed the 52-week study, they may be eligible for rollover into an open-label extension (OLE) with pamrevlumab + corticosteroids. 

Pamrevlumab targets connective tissue growth factor (CFGF), which leads to muscle fibrosis. Stopping CTGF can improve muscle function. Data from the open-label Phase 2 clinical trial has shown that lung, heart and upper arm function was better preserved than usually expected in the normal progression of DMD.

FibroGen - LELANTOS 2

A Phase 3 Trial of Pamrevlumab (FG-3019) or Placebo in Combination With Systemic Corticosteroids, in Ambulatory Subjects With Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD)

Hub Summary

This phase 3 study is looking at the efficacy and safety of pamrevlumab versus a placebo, in combination with corticosteroids (deflazacourt or prednisone). The trial is open to patients who are able to complete the 6 Minute Walk test (6MWD) with a distance of at least 270m but no more than 450m on two occasions 3 months before starting on the trial, as well as being able to rise from the floor (TTSTAND) in less than 10 seconds at the screening visit. Patients must also be on a stable dose of corticosteroids for a minimum of 6 months.

There will be a placebo arm of the trial and 50% of the patients will be randomly allocated to each arm. Once all patients have completed the 52-week study, they may be eligible for rollover into an open-label extension (OLE) with pamrevlumab + corticosteroids.

Disease translation in DMD: Neuromuscular rare disease translational research in patients with DMD.

Disease translation in DMD

Hub Summary

This study is designed to study a number of genes considered to be modifiers for DMD. This translational research will identify and obtain DNA samples and clinical information from 400 cases with DMD. This data will then be grouped into clinically and genetically defined groups. The DNA of the participants will be analysed and correlated to motor performance, age at loss of ambulation, severity of respiratory failure and severity of cardiac impairment.
