LELANTOS-2 Trial Summary

This trial is testing a new drug, pamrevlumab, to see if it is effective and safe to use in combination with systemic corticosteroids in young boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

Who is the study for?
Boys aged 6 to under 12 with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) can join this trial. They must have a specific genetic mutation, be able to walk and rise from the floor quickly, and have been on stable corticosteroid treatment for at least 6 months. Those with severe allergies to certain antibodies, kidney issues, or other conditions that could interfere with the study cannot participate.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing pamrevlumab in combination with systemic corticosteroids against a placebo plus steroids in boys with DMD. The goal is to see if pamrevlumab helps improve lung function and muscle strength when given every two weeks.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Pamrevlumab may cause reactions related to infusion, potential allergic responses due to its antibody nature, and possibly affect organ functions like liver or kidneys based on previous similar treatments.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Could you detail the possible side effects of Pamrevlumab?

"Pamrevlumab has received a score of 3 for safety. This is due to Phase 3 trials having data supporting both efficacy and multiple rounds of safety testing."

Answered by AI

Does this experiment include elderly participants?

"The age bracket that is eligible for participation in this clinical trial is 6 to 11 years old."

Answered by AI

Could you please provide a list of all clinical trials that have utilized Pamrevlumab?

"The first clinical trials for pamrevlumab were completed in 2016 at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Out of the 18283 total completed studies, there are only 6 that are actively recruiting patients. A Hershey, Pennsylvania medical center is hosting many of these active trials."

Answered by AI

To what type of patient population is this clinical trial open?

"Currently, this trial is enrolling 70 children aged 6-11 that have muscular dystrophy. The most crucial requirements for candidates are as follows: Written consent from a legal guardian, being on a stable dose of systemic corticosteroids for at least 6 months with no substantial changes in the last 3 months, receiving annual influenza vaccinations, and the ability to rise from the floor unassisted within 10 seconds."
