Summary

This trial aims to test the effectiveness and safety of a new drug called del-desiran in treating Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1. It will be a global study involving a large number of

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals who can walk independently (with orthoses and ankle braces allowed) at least 10 meters and have a clinical and genetic diagnosis of Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1 with CTG repeat ≥ 100. It's not specified who cannot join.
What is being tested?
The study tests the efficacy and safety of an intravenous drug called del-desiran, compared to a placebo in treating Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1. This phase 3 trial is randomized, meaning participants are randomly assigned to groups, and double-blind, so neither researchers nor participants know who gets the real treatment.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects aren't listed here, typical ones may include reactions at the infusion site, potential allergic responses to the medication components or general side effects like headaches or nausea.
