About this study

Official title: A Phase 2 Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Study to Evaluate the Effect of EDG-5506 on Safety, Biomarkers, Pharmacokinetics, and Functional Measures in Adults and Adolescents With Becker Muscular Dystrophy

A study of sevasemten (EDG-5506) in Becker muscular dystrophy (known as CANYON) and pivotal cohort (known as GRAND CANYON). The EDG-5506-201 CANYON study was expanded to include an additional 175 adult participants in a cohort called GRAND CANYON, that is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of sevasemten in adults with Becker.

Read the detailed description

The EDG-5506-201 protocol was amended to include an additional cohort thus consists of two parts.

Part 1: CANYON is a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled design to investigate the effect of sevasemten on the safety, pharmacokinetics, biomarkers, and functional measures. Approximately 32 adults and 18 adolescents with Becker muscular dystrophy are planned to enroll in this study. This study will have up to a 4-week Screening period, a 12-month Treatment period, followed by a 4-week follow-up period.

Approximately 32 adult participants will randomize to Cohort 1 or Cohort 2 in a 1:1 ratio then each cohort will further randomize to sevasemten or placebo in a 3:1 ratio.

Approximately 9 adolescent participants will enroll in Cohort 4 and randomize in a 2:1 ratio to sevasemten or placebo. Cohort 5 will randomize an additional 9 participants in a 2:1 ratio to either sevasemten or placebo after Cohort 4.

Part 2: GRAND CANYON or Cohort 6 is a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled design to investigate the safety and efficacy of sevasemten in adults with Becker muscular dystrophy after 18 months of treatment. Approximately 175 adults with Becker muscular dystrophy are planned to enroll in this study. This study will have up to a 4-week Screening period, an 18-month Treatment period, followed by a 4-week follow-up period.

Approximately 175 adult participants will be randomized in Cohort 6 in a 2:1 ratio either to sevasemten or placebo.

Enrollment for CANYON and GRAND CANYON has been completed.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Sevasemten 10 mg, Sevasemten 5 mg and Sevasemten 12.5 mg in people with Becker Muscular Dystrophy, run by Edgewise Therapeutics, Inc. at 51 sites in 12 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 3 inclusion and 5 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 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 51 sites in United States, France, Spain, United Kingdom, Belgium and 7 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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 treatment emergent adverse events in those treated with sevasemten or placebo (time frame: 12 months (CANYON Cohorts 1, 2, 4, 5), 18 months (GRAND CANYON Cohort 6)). The study lists 4 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 21 Sep 2026.
