Phase 3 PolarisDMD Trial [TERMINATED]
Phase III Study of Edasalonexent in Boys With Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (PolarisDMD)
The PolarisDMD study is a global Phase 3 study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of edasalonexent (CAT-1004) in boys 4 to 7 years old affected by DMD.
Two boys will receive edasalonexent for each boy that receives placebo and after 12 months, all boys are expected to receive edasalonexent in an open-label extension. Edasalonexent is an oral therapy.
Edasalonexent is a potential foundational therapy that is being developed for all patients affected by DMD. Edasalonexent inhibits NF-kB, which drives inflammation, fibrosis and muscle degeneration and suppresses muscle regeneration.
At this time, the UK sites are at capacity however if you are interested in trial participation, please contact DMDtrials@catabasis.com
