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 6 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Study population: This study will be conducted in the US and plans to enroll 300 patients diagnosed with DMD and treated with givinostat as part of their routine clinical care. Patients will be recruited from expert centers treating DMD patients with specialists in neuromuscular conditions who are routinely involved in the care and treatment of patients with DMD, some of whom would have already gained experience with givinostat.

Who may be able to join

  • Patient has provided informed consent (and assent when applicable) for participation in the study.
  • Patient's index date (first date of givinostat treatment) is no more than 6 months prior to signing of informed consent.
  • Patient has the required data available (DMD diagnosis, givinostat administration [dose and schedule], laboratory results [hematology and triglycerides]) for addressing the study objectives for the period between index date and study entry (for patients enrolled after the index date).

Who cannot join

  • Patient previously received givinostat (commercial or investigational product) and permanently discontinued treatment or patient started commercial givinostat for > 6 months before signing of informed consent.

About this study

Official title: A Prospective, Observational Study Evaluating the Real-World Experience of Givinostat in Patients With Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

This is a prospective observational study conducted to evaluate safety, tolerability, and functional outcomes of patients with DMD newly initiating oral givinostat or having started therapy within 6 months as part of routine clinical care in the US. The study has a planned maximum duration of 5 years for the first enrolled patients, including a 24-month enrollment period and a minimum of 2 years of follow-up.

Read the detailed description

Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is a rare genetic disorder that leads to progressive muscle degeneration and weakness. Givinostat, an oral histone deacetylase inhibitor, was approved by the FDA in March 2024 for treatment of DMD in patients aged 6 years and older, regardless of mutation type.

Study participation will not influence the course of treatment in any way (including other treatments for DMD), and no treatment will be provided as part of this study. All assessments are intended to be performed at the time of a routine clinical care visit according to clinical practice, and data will be extracted from the medical records.

The FDA is requiring a post-marketing prospective study be conducted for a minimum of 5 years to characterize the incidence, frequency, and severity of thrombocytopenia and serious events of bleeding in patients with DMD treated with oral givinostat in routine clinical practice.

This study is designed as a prospective, observational study to assess safety (including evaluation of AEs of special interest [AESIs]) and effectiveness, in patients with DMD newly initiating oral givinostat as part of routine clinical care in the US in a real-world population. The study will assess AESIs noted above, as well as serious adverse events (SAEs), gastrointestinal (GI) AEs, and dehydration as a sequela to GI AEs. Real-world-treatment patterns of DMD treatments (corticosteroids, exon skipping oligonucleotides and gene therapy) prior to and after givinostat initiation, including treatment duration, and treatment combinations, will be described. Effectiveness evaluations will characterize motor function, quality of life, and activities of daily living in DMD patients treated with givinostat.

The study will enroll 300 participants (180 non-ambulatory and up to 120 ambulatory patients). Participants will be followed for at least two years, with data collected during routine clinical visits. Assessments include lab parameters (e.g., platelet counts, triglycerides), cardiac and pulmonary function, patient-reported outcomes, and motor function scales such as the North Star Ambulatory Assessment (NSAA) and Performance of Upper Limb (PUL) scale.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

Study groups in NCT07127978
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
AmbulatoryAmbulatory is defined as being able to complete the 10-meter Walk-Run (10mWR) test within 30 seconds without an assistive device. This cohort will include up to 120 patients who are ambulatory prior to starting givinostat treatment. Within this cohort , 95 patients must have had prior use or a referral for concomitant use of dystrophin-enhancing therapy (DET), such as exon skipping oligonucleotides or gene therapy. Enrollment is capped at 25 patients without prior or referred DET use.
Non-AmbulatoryNon-ambulatory status is determined by inability to perform the 10mWR test as defined above. This cohort will include approximately 180 patients who are non-ambulatory prior to starting givinostat.
