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 study follows boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy over time to better understand how the condition changes and how standard treatments affect health and function. It does not appear to test a new medicine, but it may help doctors plan better future care and studies.
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 how Duchenne muscular dystrophy may affect brain function in children and teens. It compares thinking and brain activity in boys with DMD to that of healthy boys the same age, which could help improve care and support.
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.
This study is building a registry of people with Duchenne muscular dystrophy to learn more about how the condition develops over time, which can help improve future care and research. If you join, your health information will be collected during your regular clinic visits.
