Phase 3

This study focuses on Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD), a genetic disorder that weakens muscles over time. Researchers are testing a new treatment called CAP-1002, a type of cell therapy, to see if it helps improve muscle function. Participants, both boys and young men, will be divided into two groups: one receiving the treatment and the other a placebo (a dummy treatment for comparison). The study lasts for two years, with visits every 3 months. Initially, participants receive 4 doses of their assigned treatment over the first year. In the second year, everyone gets CAP-1002 during an open-label phase, meaning all know they are receiving the active treatment.

  • Duration: 24 months, with regular visits.
  • Treatment: Participants receive CAP-1002 or placebo initially, then CAP-1002 in the second year.
  • Eligibility: Boys and young men with DMD, meeting specific criteria.

This trial involves periodic assessments like muscle and heart function tests to ensure safety and measure effectiveness. Participants will be monitored closely for any side effects or adverse reactions throughout the study. If you have DMD or care for someone who does, this study may offer a chance to access new treatments under close medical supervision.

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
