Below are recruiting myotonic dystrophy 2 clinical trials, each written for real people, not researchers. We’re tracking 14 recruiting studies, each written for real people, not researchers, below.
Recruiting studies
- NCT07486934RecruitingPhase 3
Study of DYNE-101 for Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1
This trial tests an experimental drug called DYNE-101 to see if it can help people with myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1). The study aims to improve muscle function and daily life. It is for adults who can walk and stand up from a chair without help.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 16 years+ - NCT05854433Enrolling by invitation
Study brain structure in adults with muscle weakness
This study uses scans and other tests to understand how brain structure relates to symptoms in people with myotonic dystrophy type 1 or type 2. It may help researchers connect measurable brain changes to movement and other clinical outcomes.
Winston-Salem, North CarolinaAges 30–65 - NCT06523400RecruitingPhase 3
Mexiletine for myotonic dystrophy types 1 and 2
This trial tests a once-daily drug called mexiletine PR to see if it can help reduce muscle stiffness (myotonia) in people with myotonic dystrophy type 1 or 2. It may be a good option if you have a confirmed genetic diagnosis and are at least 16 years old.
LeuvenAges 16 years+ - NCT06716931Recruiting
Exercise study for myotonic dystrophy type 2
This study tests if a structured exercise program is safe and helpful for people with myotonic dystrophy type 2 (DM2). It aims to improve strength and daily function.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–70 - NCT00082108Recruiting
Muscle Disease and Family Health Registry
This is a registry study that collects health information from people with myotonic dystrophy (a genetic muscle disease that causes weakness and stiffness) or facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (a genetic condition affecting shoulder and face muscles), as well as their unaffected family members. The information helps researchers better understand these conditions and track how they progress over time.
Rochester, New YorkAges Any age - NCT02398786Recruiting
Join a family registry for myotonic dystrophy (DM1 or DM2)
This study builds a registry of people and families affected by myotonic dystrophy types 1 and 2. It helps researchers learn about the condition over time and may support future studies that could lead to better care.
Oakland, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT07072676Enrolling by invitation
Can a walker help prevent falls in neuromuscular disease?
This study tests if using assistive walking devices, after a short training period, can lower the risk of falls in people with neuromuscular diseases. It aims to help you stay steady and safe on your feet.
Bad FeilnbachAges 65–65 - NCT05004129RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Tideglusib for genetic childhood myotonic dystrophy
This trial studies how safe and effective tideglusib is for children and young adults with congenital or childhood-onset myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1). It may help researchers learn whether the medicine improves symptoms while tracking side effects closely.
Little Rock, ArkansasAges 6–45 - NCT06667453RecruitingPhase 2
PGN-EDODM1 for myotonic dystrophy type 1
This study tests an experimental drug called PGN-EDODM1 for people with myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1). The goal is to see if it can help reduce symptoms like muscle stiffness (myotonia).
Calgary, AlbertaAges 16–65 - NCT05481879RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study medicine for DM1 to improve muscle function
This early-stage study tests DYNE-101 to see how safe it is and whether it can improve measurable muscle function in people with myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1). You may be asked to do several walking and strength tests and undergo heart and breathing screening measurements.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18–65 - NCT06549400Enrolling by invitationPhase 3
Study on long-term safety of mexiletine for myotonic dystrophy
This study tests if a daily capsule of mexiletine is safe and helpful over 26 weeks for people with myotonic dystrophy type 1 or 2. It's for people who finished a previous related study and want to continue treatment.
LeuvenAges 16 years+ - NCT05982119Recruiting
Assessing muscle disease patients with activity monitors
This study assesses physical activity in people with different muscle diseases (like Duchenne, FSHD, and others) and in healthy volunteers. It helps doctors understand how these conditions affect daily movement and function.
LiègeAges 1–80 - NCT06101940Enrolling by invitation
Chinese study tracking myotonic dystrophy type 1 outcomes
This study follows people with myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) over time to learn more about how the disease progresses. It collects health information and samples to help improve care.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT07321977Recruiting
Walking test with a portable device for neuromuscular disease
This study tests a portable device that analyzes walking without markers. It aims to see if it can help assess walking in people with neuromuscular diseases and healthy volunteers, which could lead to simpler check-ups.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for myotonic dystrophy 2?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 14 recruiting myotonic dystrophy 2 studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a myotonic dystrophy 2 trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a myotonic dystrophy 2 trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
