Cell therapy for Duchenne muscular dystrophy
Treatments studied
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This trial tests a new cell-based treatment for Duchenne muscular dystrophy in adults who can no longer walk. The goal is to see if the therapy can help improve muscle function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have been diagnosed with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (confirmed by genetic testing or muscle biopsy).
- You are unable to walk (non-ambulatory).
- You have intact muscles on the top of both feet (called the extensor digitorum brevis).
- You have not taken any other experimental treatments for at least 30 days.
- You agree to long-term monitoring for 15 years after the treatment.

This study tests a one-time gene therapy given by injection into the spinal fluid (intrathecal) for boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. It aims to see if the treatment is safe and how it spreads in the body, and may offer a new way to slow the disease.
This trial tests a gene therapy called GNR-097 for boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). The therapy aims to help improve muscle function, and the study will check how safe and effective it is.
This trial tests a new gene therapy called SGT-003 for children with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. It aims to help the body produce a working version of dystrophin, the protein missing in Duchenne.
This trial tests a new drug (NS-089/NCNP-02) that aims to help boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy produce a shorter but still working version of the dystrophin protein. It's for boys who are still walking and have a specific genetic type that can be fixed by skipping a part of the gene called exon 44.
This trial tests a new gene therapy called SGT-003 in boys and men with Duchenne muscular dystrophy who are still able to walk. The treatment aims to deliver a working version of the dystrophin gene to help muscle cells produce the protein they are missing.
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.
