Recruiting PHASE1, PHASE2 Myotonic Dystrophy

Tests treatment safety and results for Myotonic Dystrophy

Official title A Study to Investigate the Safety, Tolerability, and Efficacy of SAR446268, an Adeno-associated Viral Vector-mediated Gene Therapy in Participants Aged 10 to 55 Years of Age With Non-congenital Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06844214

What this study is testing

What is SAR446268?

SAR446268 is an investigational medicine, given as an infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for myotonic dystrophy.

Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.

What it's testing
This is a Phase 1/Phase 2 open-label single arm, multicenter, and multinational study with SAR446268 for treatment of male and female participants 10 to 55 years old with non-congenital myotonic dystrophy (DM) type 1 (DM1). The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of SAR446268 in knocking down dystrophia myotonica protein kinase (DMPK) messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) levels and improving neuromuscular function in DM1 participants receiving a single intravenous (IV) administration of SAR446268.

  • Participants at high risk for tuberculosis reactivation during the corticosteroids therapy as determined by the Investigator.
  • Participants with a known HIV infection
  • Participants with serious intercurrent illness that, in the opinion of the Investigator, would preclude participation in the study or potentially decrease survival.
  • Participants with recent history of or current drug or alcohol abuse in the past 12 months prior to screening.
