Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 4 to 8 years
  • Men only
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child

Who may be able to join

  • Participants must have a documented diagnosis of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) confirmed by complete dystrophin deficiency (by immunofluorescence and/or immunoblot), or identifiable mutation in the DMD gene where reading frame can be predicated as "out of frame," or complete dystrophin gene sequencing consistent with DMD; AND in the opinion of the Investigator, a typical clinical profile consistent with DMD.
  • Participants taking approved treatments for DMD (by a Health Authority) that target dystrophin gene mutations (e.g., eteplirsen or ataluren) may be enrolled in the study if they have been on a stable dose for 30 days prior to the first dose of study drug, and plan to remain on that dose throughout the study.

Who cannot join

  • Participant has had previous systemic treatment with corticosteroids within 2 months prior to the Screening Visit. Exception: In subjects who were down-titrated to a physiological dose of corticosteroids (ie, 3mg/m2 of prednisone or deflazacort) a maximum of 1 month of no greater than a physiological dose followed by 1 month completely off corticosteroids prior to the Screening Visit will be acceptable for study entry. Transient previous use of corticosteroids will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis by the sponsor or designee. The use of topical or intra-articular corticosteroids is permitted during the study
  • Participant is unable to complete the 10 meter Walk/Run test at the Screening and/or Baseline Visit.
  • Participant has Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes mellitus.
  • Participant has a history of chronic active hepatitis including acute or chronic hepatitis B, or acute or chronic hepatitis C.
  • Participant has a history of tuberculosis (TB) infection, any signs/symptoms of TB, or any close contact with an individual with an active TB infection.
  • Participant has known immune compromised status (not related to disease/condition under study), including but not limited to, individuals who have undergone organ transplantation or who are known to be positive for the human immunodeficiency virus.

About this study

Official title: A Multicenter, Randomized, Parallel Group, Double Blind, Multiple Dose, Placebo Controlled Study to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of MNK-1411 in Male Participants 4 to 8 Years of Age With Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

This is a multicenter, double blind, placebo controlled, multiple dose study to examine the safety and efficacy of MNK-1411 in male subjects 4 to 8 years of age (inclusive) with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD).

Read the detailed description

The main purpose of this study is to determine the effect of MNK-1411 on motor function in participants with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD). Information is collected only from caretakers who are fluent in English, using the Pediatric Outcomes Data Collection Instrument (PODCI).

The PODCI is a validated 86-question instrument completed by the parent or legal guardian of children 2 to 10 years of age to assess a variety of health outcome measures (Uzark et al, 2012). This study will only collect information for the PODCI domains of sports and physical functioning and transfer/basic mobility.

What is being measured

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

  1. Time to Complete 10 Meter Walk/Run[

    10 Meter Walk/Run is a motor function test to measure the functional capability in patients with DMD.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 24

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. North Star Ambulatory Assessment (NSAA) Score

    The NSAA is comprised of 17 items, each of which is graded using the standard scorecard. Each assessment is rated as 0 - unable to achieve independently, 1 - modified method but achieves goal independent of physical assistance from another, or 2 - normal with no obvious modification of activity. The subscale scores are summed for a total score ranging from 0 to 34. The higher the total score, the better the outcome.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 24

  2. Time to Climb 4 Standardized Stairs

    Time to Climb 4 Standardized Stairs is a motor performance test

    Measured: Baseline, Week 24

  3. Time to Stand From a Supine Position

    Time to stand from a supine position is a motor function test to measure the functional capability in subjects with DMD.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 24

  4. Quantitative Muscle Testing Scores at Baseline

    Quantitative muscle testing measured strength-knee flexion and extension measured in Newtons, using a dynamometer

    Measured: Baseline

  5. Quantitative Muscle Testing Scores at Week 24

    Quantitative muscle testing measured strength-knee flexion and extension measured in Newtons, using a dynamometer

    Measured: Week 24

  6. Summary of Adverse Events in the Blinded Treatment Period

    Clinically significant changes in vital signs, height, weight, immunogenicity and laboratory assessments were reported as adverse events (AEs)

    Measured: within 28 weeks

  7. Summary of Adverse Events in the Open Label Period

    Clinically significant changes in vital signs, height, weight, immunogenicity and laboratory assessments were reported as adverse events (AEs)

    Measured: within 28 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing MNK-1411 in people with Muscular Dystrophy, Duchenne, run by Mallinckrodt ARD LLC at 16 sites in 8 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 2 inclusion and 6 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 16 Mar 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 16 sites in United States, Mexico, Spain, Bulgaria, Israel and 3 more countries. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 21 Feb 2021). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Time to Complete 10 Meter Walk/Run[ (time frame: Baseline, Week 24). 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 16 Mar 2021.
