  • Willing and able to provide written, signed informed consent, or in the case of subjects under the age of 18 years(or 16 years, depending on the region), provide written assent (if required) and written informed consent by a legally authorized representative after the nature of the study has been explained, and prior to the conduct of any research-related procedures.

Who cannot join

  • Subjects who have previously been treated with BMN 044 who had a serious adverse experience or met safety stopping criteria, that remains unresolved, which in the opinion of the Investigator could have been attributable to BMN 044.
  • History of significant medical disorder which may confound the interpretation of safety data
  • Acute illness within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of BMN 044 (Week 1) which may interfere with the measurements.
  • Symptomatic cardiomyopathy.

Show all 9Show fewer
  • Use of anti coagulants, anti thrombotics or anti platelet agents within 28 days of the baseline visit.

About this study

Official title: A Multi Center, Multi National, Open Label, Extension Study to Evaluate the Long-term Efficacy and Safety of BMN 044 (PRO044) in Subjects With Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

The aim of this study is to provide continuing access to BMN 044 treatment for subjects previously treated with BMN 044. The information gained from this study is expected to further characterize the efficacy and safety of BMN 044 over a longer treatment period.

Read the detailed description

This is a phase 2 multi center, multi national, open label, long term extension study. Up to approximately 50 male subjects with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) who have previously been treated with BMN 044 will be enrolled. Subjects will receive either IV infusions or SC injections at pre-defined doses.

Safety and tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD) and efficacy assessments will be conducted at regular intervals throughout the study.

Subjects will be permitted to continue in this study until the subject meets any of the defined withdrawal criteria, BioMarin decides to halt the clinical development of BMN 044, or BMN 044 receives marketing authorization.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of subjects with 1 or more treatment emergent adverse events following BMN044 dosing

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 1 year

Timeline

From the start of the study to its completion; the mark is today. Estimated dates are the sponsor’s plan.

  1. First posted8 Nov 2016 (estimated)
  2. Study startApr 2016
  3. Primary completionSep 2016
  4. Study completionSep 2016

Why it stopped: Regulatory approval was not obtained for drisapersen, hence BioMarin is stopping the development of all exon skipping oligonucleotides in DMD.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing BMN 044 IV 6 mg/kg, BMN 044 IV 9 mg/kg and BMN 044 SC 6 mg/kg in people with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, run by BioMarin Pharmaceutical at 5 sites in 4 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Jan 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in Italy, Belgium, Netherlands, Sweden. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Regulatory approval was not obtained for drisapersen, hence BioMarin is stopping the development of all exon skipping oligonucleotides in DMD.). Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of subjects with 1 or more treatment emergent adverse events following BMN044 dosing (time frame: Through study completion, an average of 1 year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 26 Jan 2018.
