Start: November 2015

A Study to Evaluate Safety, Tolerability, and Efficacy of Eteplirsen in Patients With Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

The purpose of this extension study is to evaluate the ongoing safety and tolerability of additional treatment with eteplirsen administered once weekly by intravenous (IV) infusion in male DMD patients who have successfully completed the 96-week eteplirsen study: Study 4658-102 (NCT03218995)

Start: June 2019

Bone Marrow-Derived Autologous Stem Cells for the Treatment of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

This study is single arm, single center trial to study the safety and efficacy of bone marrow-derived autologous specific populations of stem cells and mesenchymal stem cells for the treatment of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD).

Start: September 2015

The Evaluation of Muscle Activation in Climbing up Stairs Activity in Children With Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

Children with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) have difficulties towards the end of the ambulatory period, especially in activities that require lower extremity proximal muscle strength such as walking, climbing stairs, standing up without sitting. Stair climbing / descending activity is a complex activity that requires joint stability, correct muscle synergy and timing. When the literature is examined; It has been observed that the performance of stair climb up and down activity in individuals with neuromuscular disease has been evaluated with various clinical applications. In recent studies, there are surface electromyography (EMG) studies evaluating various aspects of stair climbing and descending activity. Surface EMG; is a technique for neuromuscular evaluations that is frequently used in both research and clinical applications, noninvasive, and can be used in areas such as neurophysiology, sports science and rehabilitation. Our study was planned to examine the muscle activations in the lower limb muscles involved in climbing up stairs activity in children with DMD and to compare healthy children with children with DMD and children with different levels of DMD. Hypothesis originating from the investigation: H0: There is no difference in the muscle activations measured by surface electromyography (EMG) of the involved lower extremity muscles during climbing up stairs activity between level 1 and level 2-3 children with early DMD. H1: There is a difference in the muscle activations measured by surface electromyography (EMG) of the involved lower extremity muscles during climbing up stairs activity between level 1 and level 2-3 children with early DMD. H2: There is no difference in the muscle activations measured by surface electromyography (EMG) of the involved lower extremity muscles during climbing up stairs activity between children with DMD and healthy children. H3: There is a difference in the muscle activations measured by surface electromyography (EMG) of the involved lower extremity muscles during climbing up stairs activity between children with DMD and healthy children.

A 48-Week, Open Label, Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Casimersen, Eteplirsen and Golodirsen in Subjects With Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Carrying Eligible DMD Duplications

This is an 48-week open-label study to determine the efficacy and safety of casimersen, eteplirsen, or golodirsen for the treatment of boys with duchenne muscular dystrophy who have a single exon duplication of either exon 45, 51 or 53, respectively. There will be weekly infusions and two muscle biopsies at baseline and at month 12.

Start: February 2020

Gene Transfer Clinical Trial to Deliver rAAVrh74.MCK.GALGT2 for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

The proposed clinical trial study of rAAVrh74.MCK.GALGT2 for duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) patients. There will be a modified intravascular limb infusion (ILI) procedure that will be used to sequentially deliver vector to each whole lower limb of DMD subjects via a major lower limb artery.

Start: November 2017

Aerobic Exercise in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is the most common neuromuscular disease in childhood with an estimate incidence of 1 in 3500 to 5000 male births. The effect of aerobic training on muscle architectural properties and motor functions such as muscle activation is not clear in DMD. The aim of this study is to compare with children with DMD and healthy peers in terms of muscle architectural properties and motor functions, and investigate the effects of aerobic training on these parameters in children with DMD. Twenty children with DMD and 10 healthy peers will be included in the study. Twenty children with DMD included in the study will be divided into two groups as home program and home program+aerobic training with block randomization method. Home program including stretching, respiratory, range of motion and mild resistance exercise with body weight will be asked to apply 3-5 days a week for 12 weeks, aerobic training will be performed 3 days a week for 12 weeks at 60% of their maximum hearth rate with 50 minutes total duration consisting of 10 min warm up and 10 min cool down period. Muscle architectural properties, muscle strength, muscle activation and motor function will be assessed with ultrasonographic, hand-held myometry, surface EMG and Motor Function Measure, consecutively. Assessments will be applied at pre-training and after 12 weeks of training.

Start: March 2019

At-Home Research Study for Patients With Autoimmune, Inflammatory, Genetic, Hematological, Infectious, Neurological, CNS, Oncological, Respiratory, Metabolic Conditions

We are the missing link in clinical trials, connecting patients and researchers seamlessly and conveniently using a mobile health platform to advance medical research. We make it easy for patients to contribute to research for medical conditions that matter most to them, regardless of their location or ability to travel.

Start: July 2013

Feasibility of Virtual Reality in Children With Neuromuscular Disease, Effectiveness of Virtual Reality and Biofeedback

Our study is a randomized controlled study and the subjects included in the study will be divided into three groups as virtual reality training, biofeedback training, and conventional rehabilitation.

Start: February 2019

Prevention of Scoliosis in Patients With Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Using Portable Seat Device

This study will be conducted without blind method. The portable seat device devised to maintain lumbar lordosis will be made within 1 year after the loss of ambulation in the participants with Duchenne muscular dystrophy with prospective design. In the control group, the presence of scoliosis will be calculated 5 years after the loss of ambulation in participants with Duchenne muscular dystrophy through analysis of retrospective medical records who had not been applied the portable seat device.
