Nippon Shinyaku Co., Ltd. is conducting a clinical study titled ‘A Phase 1/2, First in Human, Multiple-dose, 2-part Study to Assess the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Pharmacodynamics of NS-050/NCNP-03 in Boys With Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD).’ The study aims to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of NS-050/NCNP-03 in treating boys with DMD, a severe muscle disorder. This research is significant as it could lead to new treatment options for DMD patients.
The intervention being tested is NS-050/NCNP-03, a drug administered through intravenous infusions. It is designed to help boys with DMD who have a specific genetic mutation amenable to exon 50 skipping, potentially improving their muscle function.
The study is interventional, with a randomized and parallel assignment model. It involves quadruple masking, meaning that participants, care providers, investigators, and outcomes assessors are unaware of the treatment allocations. The primary purpose is treatment-focused.
The study began on September 19, 2023, and is currently recruiting. The primary completion date is anticipated to be in 2025, with the last update submitted on September 9, 2025. These dates are crucial as they indicate the study’s progress and expected timeline for results.
This update could positively impact Nippon Shinyaku’s stock performance, as successful trials may lead to new market opportunities and increased investor confidence. The study’s progress is also relevant in the context of the competitive landscape for DMD treatments, where advancements can significantly affect market dynamics.
The study is ongoing, and further details are available on the ClinicalTrials portal.
