AOC 1001 for Myotonic Dystrophy
(MARINA-OLE Trial)
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial is testing a new medicine called AOC 1001 to see if it is safe and effective for adults with a muscle disease called Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1. The medicine is given through an IV, and researchers want to know if it helps muscles work better.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. It's best to discuss this with the trial team or your doctor.
How is the drug AOC 1001 unique for treating myotonic dystrophy type 1?
AOC 1001 is a novel nucleic acid-based therapy, which is different from traditional treatments as it targets the genetic cause of myotonic dystrophy type 1 by potentially correcting the mis-splicing of genes involved in the disease. This approach is part of a new wave of therapies aiming to address the underlying genetic issues rather than just managing symptoms.12345
