Ended Therapeutic exploratory (Phase II) McArdle Disease

Phase 2 Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Study of the Effect of EDG-5506 on Biomarkers in Adults with Neuromuscular Disease

EU CTIS ID: 2022-500215-39-00

What this study is testing

To assess the safety of sevasemten in adults with neuromuscular disease. To assess the effect of sevasemten treatment on biomarkers of muscle damage in adults with Becker Muscular Dystrophy (BMD), McArdle disease, or Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy Type 2I (LGMD2I).

  • Therapeutic exploratory (Phase II)

A plain-language read of the study's public EU CTIS listing. The study team confirms the details.

Who can take part

You may be able to join if

  • 1. Participants with BMD or LGMD2I must be 18 to 65 years of age inclusive, at the time of signing the informed consent. Participants with McArdle disease may enroll up to 75 years of age inclusive, at the time of signing the informed consent form.
  • 2. Participant has a molecular diagnosis of BMD (a documented dystrophin mutation and phenotype consistent with BMD, and history of being ambulatory beyond 16 years of age without steroids; history of being ambulatory beyond 18 years of age with steroids), McArdle disease, or LGMD2I with a consistent clinical phenotype.
  • 3. Participant is able to comply with the cycle exercise protocol (in the opinion of the Principal Investigator).
  • 4. Participant has no concurrent medical condition that would, in the opinion of the Investigator, impair the ability to give informed consent or undertake any of the protocol-mandated visits/assessments.
  • 5. Participant has no active muscle injury at Screening.
  • 6. Participant is willing and able to comply with all protocol requirements.

You likely can't join if

  • 1. Medical history, clinically significant laboratory, or physical examination finding that, in the opinion of the Investigator, would render the participant unsuitable for the study. This includes anything that would prevent completion of the cycle ergometer test.
  • 6. Moderate or severe renal impairment (estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] <60 mL/min/1.73 m2 ). eGFR will be based on Cystatin C formula (eGFR = 133 x min(Scys/0.8, 1)^-0.499 x max (Scys/0.8, 1)^-1.328 X 0.996^Age x 0.932 [if female].
  • 7. Positive test for hepatitis C antibody (unless negative hepatitis C virus polymerase chain reaction), hepatitis B surface antigen, or human immunodeficiency virus antibody.
  • 8. Receipt of oral corticosteroids for >10 days in the previous 6 months. Inhaled/intranasal steroids are permitted.
  • 09. Current use of any strong or moderate cytochrome P450 (CYP)3A4 inhibitors or inducers.
  • 10. Other medical or psychiatric condition including recent (within the past year) or active suicidal ideation/behavior, recent (within the past year) history of substance abuse or dependency or laboratory results or abnormality that may increase the risk of study participation or, in the Investigator’s judgment, make the participant inappropriate for the study.
