Study Summary

This trial is testing a new drug to see if it's safe and effective for people with Becker muscular dystrophy.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adolescents (12-17) and adults (18-50) with Becker muscular dystrophy confirmed by genetic testing. Participants must be able to complete a 100-meter walk within certain times, perform specific physical assessments, and have been ambulatory beyond certain ages with or without steroids.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The GRAND CANYON study tests the safety and effectiveness of EDG-5506 at different doses (5 mg, 10 mg, 12.5 mg) compared to a placebo in treating Becker muscular dystrophy. It's randomized and double-blind, meaning neither participants nor researchers know who gets the drug or placebo.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects of EDG-5506 are not listed here, common side effects in trials like this may include gastrointestinal symptoms, fatigue, muscle pain or cramps, headaches, and potential allergic reactions.
