Summary

This trial will test the safety and tolerability of a new drug, BBP-418, for people with a certain kind of muscle dystrophy. There is currently no approved treatment for this condition.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals over 30 kg with genetically confirmed LGMD2I, showing clinical weakness. Participants must be able to walk 10 meters unaided in ≤12 seconds or be non-ambulatory. They should agree to contraception use and not have significant other diseases or recent drug abuse history.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
BBP-418 is being tested for safety and tolerability in different dose levels on ambulatory and non-ambulatory patients with LGMD2I, a condition without approved treatments. This open label study allows all participants to receive the drug.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Specific side effects of BBP-418 are not listed but will include any adverse reactions observed during the trial as doses increase. Safety assessments like muscle biopsies may also carry risks such as bleeding or infection.

Treatment Details

Study Objectives

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.
Primary outcome measures
Incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) that lead to dose decrease or discontinuation
Secondary outcome measures
Changes in pharmacodynamic parameters by assessing changes in levels of N-terminal fragment of alpha dystroglycan (α-DG)
Changes in pharmacodynamic parameters by assessing muscle biopsy of the tibialis anterior
Pharmacokinetic profile of BBP-418 by assessment of area under the curve (AUC)
