Recruiting PHASE1, PHASE2 Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD)

Tests treatment safety and results for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD)

Official title A Study in Participants With Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Amenable to Exon 44 Skipping to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of ENTR-601-44

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07037862

What this study is testing

What is ENTR-601-44?

ENTR-601-44 is an investigational medicine, given as an infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for duchenne muscular dystrophy (dmd).

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 study of the investigational medicine ENTR-601-44 in participants who have Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), a rare genetic condition. The researchers want to: Test how safe ENTR-601-44 is, learn about any side effects, and look at the potential positive effects of ENTR-601-44, compared to placebo.
  • Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works
  • You might receive a placebo (an inactive treatment) instead of the study drug. You may not know which one you got.
