A study of Duchenne muscular dystrophy in boys who no longer walk
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study is for boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy who can no longer walk. It aims to describe how the condition changes over time once walking is lost, without testing any new treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must have Duchenne muscular dystrophy that was confirmed by genetic testing.
- Your child must have lost the ability to walk on their own (be non-ambulant).

This is a research study that follows people with Duchenne muscular dystrophy and female genetic carriers to better understand the condition. It may help researchers measure health patterns over time, which can support future treatments.
This study tests a new medication called KER-065 to see if it helps people with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD). It may help boys and men who are still walking, as well as those who use a wheelchair, as long as they are on a stable corticosteroid treatment.
This study looks at breathing, chest and belly movement, and exercise ability in people with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy or Spinal Muscular Atrophy, as well as healthy people. The goal is to compare these functions to help understand how these diseases affect the body.
