Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are ambulatory male children aged 4 to less than 8 years with a genetically confirmed diagnosis of DMD.

Probably not a fit

Patients with active viral infections such as hepatitis or HIV may not benefit from this study.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study assesses the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of BBM-D101, a gene therapy designed to treat Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) in boys aged 4 to 8. It is a single-arm, open-label trial that will monitor participants for 52 weeks after a single intravenous infusion, with long-term follow-up for up to 5 years. The therapy aims to deliver a therapeutic protein to muscle tissue to help restore function and prevent the progression of muscular dystrophy.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could significantly improve muscle function and quality of life for patients with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.

How similar studies have gone: Other studies using gene therapy approaches for DMD have shown promise, indicating potential for success with this novel treatment.
