About this study
Official title: A Phase 3 Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Global Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Intravenous AOC 1001 for the Treatment of Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1
A Phase 3 Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Global Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Intravenous Delpacibart Etedesiran (abbreviated del-desiran, formerly AOC 1001) for the Treatment of Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1
Read the detailed description
The study consists of a Screening Period of up to 6 weeks and 54-week Treatment Period. The anticipated duration is approximately 60 weeks.
Participants will be randomized to receive an intravenous infusion of either del-desiran or placebo at the clinical study site every 8 weeks for a total of 7 doses. The final dose will occur at Week 48, followed by a final assessment at Week 54.
After completion of Week 54 assessments, eligible participants will have the option to enroll into an open label extension (OLE) study, pending regulatory approval.
An Independent Data Monitoring Committee (IDMC) comprised of members independent and external to the Sponsor will review safety, tolerability, and efficacy (as needed) data of this study at regular intervals.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing AOC 1001 (del-desiran) in people with DM1 and Myotonic Dystrophy, run by Avidity Biosciences, Inc. at 34 sites in 10 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 9 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 1 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 34 sites in United States, Japan, Canada, Denmark, Netherlands and 5 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
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?
Hand function (time frame: Through Week 54). 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 1 Sep 2026.
