About this study
Official title: Open-Label Extension of the HOPE-2 Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Trial
This Phase 2, multi-center, open-label extension trial will provide deramiocel (CAP-1002) to subjects that were enrolled in the HOPE-2 trial and completed 12 months of follow-up. The trial will explore the safety and efficacy of twenty intravenous administrations of deramiocel, each separated by three months, over a period of approximately 60 months. Following completion of the initial open-label phase (Month 60), subjects who have completed all Month 60 assessments will be eligible to continue into a long-term open label extension (LT-OLE) period and can continue to receive deramiocel once every 3 months until deramiocel is commercially available or the sponsor terminates the study, or the subject withdraws consent or study participation is terminated by the sponsor.
Subjects will undergo a targeted screening during a 30-day screening period, eligible subjects will then undergo baseline safety and efficacy assessments on Day 1 prior to their first infusion of deramiocel.

Read the detailed description
This Phase 2, multi-center, open-label extension trial will provide deramiocel (CAP-1002) to subjects that were enrolled in the HOPE-2 trial and completed 12 months of follow-up. The trial will explore the safety and efficacy of twenty intravenous administrations of deramiocel, each separated by three months, over approximately a period of 60 months. Additional analyses of efficacy and safety will be conducted in the subsequent Long Term Open-Label Extension (LT-OLE) phase of the study.
Subjects will undergo a targeted screening during a 30-day screening period to determine eligibility based on protocol inclusion and exclusion criteria.
Eligible subjects will undergo baseline safety and efficacy assessments on Day 1 prior to their first infusion of deramiocel. Administration of deramiocel (Day 1) should occur within a maximum of 30 days following confirmation of eligibility.
Subjects will complete trial assessments at Screening; Day 1; Months 3, 6, 9, 12 (± 14 days, each), 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30, 30, 33, 36, 39, 42, 45, 48, 51, 54, 57, 60, and all LT-OLE visits (± 21 days, each). Safety and efficacy assessments will be conducted prior to deramiocel administration at the Day 1, Months 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30, 33, 36, 39, 42, 45, 48, 51, 54, and 57 trial visits, unless otherwise indicated, and at all LT-OLE visits.
All deramiocel infusions will be conducted in an outpatient setting at the investigative site on Day 1 and Months 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30, 33, 36, 39, 42, 45, 48, 51, 54, 57 trial visits. Continued dosing in the LT-OLE phase will begin at LT-OLE Visit 1, which may overlap with Month 60 of the initial OLE phase/LT-OLE Visit 1, in some cases. Prior to each deramiocel administration, medications will be administered to the subject as determined by the Investigator based on the pre-treatment guidelines as outlined in the protocol and/or institutional protocols to minimize the risk of potential severe allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis. Subjects will be observed in the outpatient setting for at least two hours post infusion and then discharged the same day if medically cleared by the site Investigator. If clinically indicated, an unscheduled in-person visit will be performed at the investigative site with targeted assessments based on presentation of signs and symptoms following any infusion.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) From Baseline Through Month 12
Adverse event (AE) is defined as any unfavourable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of study drug, whether or not considered related to the study drug. Serious AE: an AE that resulted in any of the following outcomes: death; life threatening; persistent/significant disability/incapacity; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; congenital anomaly/birth defect or was otherwise considered medically important. TEAE: AE with onset after start of treatment or with onset date before the treatment start date but worsening after the treatment start date. TEAEs included both serious and non-serious TEAEs.
Measured: Baseline up to Month 12
Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) by Severity From Baseline Through Month 12
Severity of adverse events (AE) were assessed by the investigator as Grade 1 = Mild (Transient or mild discomfort; no limitation in activity; no medical intervention/therapy required), Grade 2 = Moderate (Mild to moderate limitation in activity - some assistance may be needed; no or minimal medical intervention/therapy required), Grade 3 = Severe (Marked limitation in activity, some assistance usually required; medical intervention/therapy required and often requiring hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization), Grade 4 = Life-threatening (Extreme limitation in activity, significant assistance required; significant medical intervention/therapy required; hospitalization, prolongation of hospitalization, or hospice care) and Grade 5 = Death.
Measured: Baseline up to Month 12
Change From Baseline in Functional Capacity as Assessed by Performance of the Upper Limb Test, Version 2 (PUL 2.0) Total Score.
PUL 2.0 scale is a 22-item scale used to assess the change that occurs in motor performance of the upper limb overtime from when a participant is still ambulant to the time participant loses all arm function when non-ambulant. PUL 2.0 includes an entry item to define broad starting functional level and 22 items subdivided into shoulder level (six items), mid-level (nine items), and distal level (seven items). Each dimension (shoulder, mid, distal) can be scored separately. There is maximum score of 12 for shoulder level, 17 for mid-level, and 13 for distal level. The total score was calculated by adding three level scores and ranged from 0-42. Higher score indicates better upper limb function.

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
This Phase 2, multi-center, open-label extension trial will provide deramiocel (CAP-1002) to subjects that were enrolled in the HOPE-2 trial and completed 12 months of follow-up. The trial will explore the safety and efficacy of twenty intravenous administrations of deramiocel, each separated by three months, over a period of approximately 60 months. Following completion of the initial open-label phase (Month 60), subjects who have completed all Month 60 assessments will be eligible to continue into a long-term open label extension (LT-OLE) period and can continue to receive deramiocel once every 3 months until deramiocel is commercially available or the sponsor terminates the study, or the subject withdraws consent or study participation is terminated by the sponsor.
Subjects will undergo a targeted screening during a 30-day screening period, eligible subjects will then undergo baseline safety and efficacy assessments on Day 1 prior to their first infusion of deramiocel.
Subjects will complete trial assessments at Screening; Day 1; Months 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30, 33, 36, 39, 42, 45, 48, 51, 54, 57, 60, and all LT-OLE visits. Safety and efficacy assessments will be conducted prior to deramiocel administration at the Day 1, Months 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30, 33, 36, 39, 42, 45, 48, 51, 54, 57, and at all LT-OLE trial visits, unless otherwise indicated.
All deramiocel infusions will be conducted in an outpatient setting at the investigative site on Day 1 and Months 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30, 33, 36, 39, 42, 45, 48, 51, 54, 57, with continued dosing in the LT-OLE visits.

Subjects will complete trial assessments at Screening; Day 1; Months 3, 6, 9, 12 (± 14 days, each), 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30, 30, 33, 36, 39, 42, 45, 48, 51, 54, 57, 60, and all LT-OLE visits (± 21 days, each). Safety and efficacy assessments will be conducted prior to deramiocel administration at the Day 1, Months 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30, 33, 36, 39, 42, 45, 48, 51, 54, and 57 trial visits, unless otherwise indicated, and at all LT-OLE visits.
All deramiocel infusions will be conducted in an outpatient setting at the investigative site on Day 1 and Months 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30, 33, 36, 39, 42, 45, 48, 51, 54, 57 trial visits. Continued dosing in the LT-OLE phase will begin at LT-OLE Visit 1, which may overlap with Month 60 of the initial OLE phase/LT-OLE Visit 1, in some cases. Prior to each deramiocel administration, medications will be administered to the subject as determined by the Investigator based on the pre-treatment guidelines as outlined in the protocol and/or institutional protocols to minimize the risk of potential severe allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis. Subjects will be observed in the outpatient setting for at least two hours post infusion and then discharged the same day if medically cleared by the site Investigator. If clinically indicated, an unscheduled in-person visit will be performed at the investigative site with targeted assessments based on presentation of signs and symptoms following any infusion.

Primary outcome
Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) From Baseline Through Month 12
Time frame: Baseline up to Month 12
Adverse event (AE) is defined as any unfavourable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of study drug, whether or not considered related to the study drug. Serious AE: an AE that resulted in any of the following outcomes: death; life threatening; persistent/significant disability/incapacity; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; congenital anomaly/birth defect or was otherwise considered medically important. TEAE: AE with onset after start of treatment or with onset date before the treatment start date but worsening after the treatment start date. TEAEs included both serious and non-serious TEAEs.
Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) by Severity From Baseline Through Month 12
Time frame: Baseline up to Month 12
Severity of adverse events (AE) were assessed by the investigator as Grade 1 = Mild (Transient or mild discomfort; no limitation in activity; no medical intervention/therapy required), Grade 2 = Moderate (Mild to moderate limitation in activity - some assistance may be needed; no or minimal medical intervention/therapy required), Grade 3 = Severe (Marked limitation in activity, some assistance usually required; medical intervention/therapy required and often requiring hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization), Grade 4 = Life-threatening (Extreme limitation in activity, significant assistance required; significant medical intervention/therapy required; hospitalization, prolongation of hospitalization, or hospice care) and Grade 5 = Death.
Change From Baseline in Functional Capacity as Assessed by Performance of the Upper Limb Test, Version 2 (PUL 2.0) Total Score.
Time frame: Baseline, Month 12
PUL 2.0 scale is a 22-item scale used to assess the change that occurs in motor performance of the upper limb overtime from when a participant is still ambulant to the time participant loses all arm function when non-ambulant. PUL 2.0 includes an entry item to define broad starting functional level and 22 items subdivided into shoulder level (six items), mid-level (nine items), and distal level (seven items). Each dimension (shoulder, mid, distal) can be scored separately. There is maximum score of 12 for shoulder level, 17 for mid-level, and 13 for distal level. The total score was calculated by adding three level scores and ranged from 0-42. Higher score indicates better upper limb function.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing Deramiocel (CAP-1002) in people with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, run by Capricor Inc. at 5 sites in United States.
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 8 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: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Sep 2026. 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 United States. 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 24 Feb 2025). 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?
Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) From Baseline Through Month 12 (time frame: Baseline up to Month 12). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 22 Sep 2026.
