Study Summary

This trial tests a gene therapy in kids with Duchenne muscular dystrophy to see if it is safe and works. Part A is a blind placebo-controlled study, followed by an open-label study in Part B.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for children and adolescents aged 6 to 14 with Duchenne muscular dystrophy who have had gene therapy. They must be able to stand from lying down in under 8 seconds, climb stairs in less than 10 seconds, weigh at least 20 kg, and have been on a stable dose of corticosteroids for over six months.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The FOX study tests EDG-5506's safety and effects compared to a placebo in kids previously treated with gene therapy for Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Part A is blinded and randomized; participants don't know if they're getting the drug or placebo. Part B will be open-label.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Specific side effects of EDG-5506 are not listed but may include reactions typical of clinical trials such as nausea, headache, fatigue or allergic reactions. The trial aims to assess these potential side effects thoroughly.
