The DMDWarrior Clinical Trials Search Tool is a free online resource that helps families search and compare Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) clinical trials worldwide. Users can filter studies by age, recruitment status, therapeutic approach, exon mutation, country, and other eligibility criteria to quickly find relevant clinical trials. The platform provides up-to-date information on gene therapy, exon skipping, gene editing, and other investigational DMD treatments.
Active DMD Clinical Studies
Overview of ongoing Duchenne clinical trials grouped by therapeutic approach. Completed and terminated studies are not listed.
How to Understand This DMD Active Studies
This page is a structured overview of ongoing Duchenne clinical trials in the DMD Warrior catalog. Unlike the main trial search, which lists every study with rich filters, this table focuses on active research grouped by therapeutic approach so you can scan sponsors, drugs, and phases in one view.
Studies are organized under headings such as Gene Therapy, Exon Skipping, mRNA / tRNA / saRNA Therapies, Gene Editing, and other standardized categories. Completed and terminated trials are excluded so the table reflects research that is still relevant for families exploring current options.
Each row shows the sponsoring company, investigational drug or product name, trial phase, variant or genotype requirements when listed, current recruitment status, countries with sites, and a link to the public trial page or registry identifier. Use the company and drug columns to compare programs within the same therapeutic approach.
Open a trial name or NCT ID to read full eligibility criteria, contact details, and links to ClinicalTrials.gov. Return to Home to filter by age, country, or status, visit DMD Clinical Trial Statistics for country and phase breakdowns, or explore the Duchenne Drug Development Pipeline for a horizontal phase view.
Has an established clinical diagnosis of DMD based on documentation of clinical findings and prior confirmatory genetic testing using a clinical diagnostic genetic test.
Being included in the GNT-014-MDYF study
Diagnosis of DMD based upon Gene testing positive with detailed genotyping except subjects with any mutations affecting exons 8 and/or 9
DMD gene mutation in exons 18 and above, and a clinical picture consistent with typical DMD with the exception of a participant (Cohort 1b) with DMD gene mutation in exons 12-17.
Has a definitive diagnosis of DMD prior to screening based on documentation of clinical findings and prior confirmatory genetic testing using a clinical diagnostic genetic test
Active, Not Recruiting
Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, United Kingdom
Established clinical diagnosis of DMD and documented dystrophin gene mutation predictive of DMD phenotype confirmed by Sponsor genetic testing. In cases where a genotype may be predictive of residual dystrophin production and/or a clear clinical diagnosis of DMD cannot be made (e.g., due to age), evaluation of dystrophin levels in baseline muscle biopsies may be required to determine eligibility under this criterion.
Has a definitive diagnosis of DMD prior to Screening or as part of Screening based on genetic testing. Note that participants who rescreen do not have to repeat genetic testing for the diagnosis of DMD if one is already on file. Genetic reports must describe a frameshift deletion, frameshift duplication, premature stop ("nonsense"), canonical splice site mutation, or other pathogenic variant in the DMD gene fully contained between exons 18 to 58 (inclusive) that is expected to lead to absence of a functional dystrophin protein (mutations in exons 1-17 or 59-71 are therefore not permitted).
The purpose of this study is to provide a single clinical study with a uniform approach to monitoring long-term safety and efficacy in participants who received Elevidys in a previous clinical study. No study drug will be administered as part of this study.
