During the study, participants will receive regular infusions of the medication over an extended period. The medication will be administered at a dose based on the participant&#8217;s body weight, up to a maximum of 4 mg per kilogram.</p>
<p>This is a continuation study, which means it follows up on previous research with the same medication. The study is &#8220;open-label,&#8221; which means all participants will receive the active medication, and there is no placebo group. The treatment period may last up to 48 weeks, during which participants will receive multiple doses of the study medication while being monitored for any effects or side effects.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This clinical trial is focused on studying a group of muscle disorders known as <i>Non-Dystrophic Myotonias</i>. These conditions cause muscle stiffness and difficulty relaxing muscles after use. The study will compare two forms of a medication called <i>Mexiletine</i>, which is used to treat these symptoms. The two forms being compared are <i>Mexiletine PR</i> (prolonged-release) and <i>Mexiletine IR</i> (immediate-release). The goal is to understand how safe and effective these medications are for treating muscle stiffness in adults with non-dystrophic myotonias, which include specific types like myotonia congenita, paramyotonia congenita, and sodium channel myotonia.</p>
<p>Participants in the study will receive either <i>Mexiletine PR</i> or <i>Mexiletine IR</i> over a period of 24 weeks. The study is designed as an open-label, randomized, cross-over trial, meaning that participants will switch between the two forms of the medication during the study. This approach helps researchers compare the effects of each medication form directly. The study will monitor the occurrence of any side effects and how well participants tolerate the medications. Additionally, the study will assess improvements in muscle stiffness and overall quality of life using various tests and questionnaires.</p>
<p>The primary focus is on the safety of the medications, looking at any adverse events that may occur during the treatment period. Secondary measures include video recordings of hand movements, quality of life assessments, and other tests to evaluate the impact of the medications on daily activities. The study aims to provide valuable information on the best treatment approach for managing symptoms in individuals with non-dystrophic myotonias.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This clinical trial is focused on studying the long-term safety and effectiveness of a treatment for people with <i>Myotonic Dystrophy</i> types 1 and 2. <a href="https://demo.badaniakliniczne.pl/disease/myotonic-dystrophy-type-1/">Myotonic Dystrophy</a> is a genetic disorder that affects muscle function, causing symptoms like muscle stiffness and weakness. The treatment being tested is called <i>Mexiletine</i>, which is taken as granules for prolonged-release oral suspension. This means the medication is designed to be released slowly in the body over time, helping to manage symptoms more effectively.</p>
<p>The purpose of the study is to evaluate how safe and effective <i>Mexiletine</i> is when used over a long period. Participants in the study will take the medication once daily. The study will monitor any <a href="https://demo.badaniakliniczne.pl/disease/drug-side-effect/">side effects</a> and how well the medication helps with symptoms like muscle stiffness. Participants will also undergo regular health checks, including physical exams and heart monitoring, to ensure their safety throughout the study.</p>
<p>This study is an extension of a previous study, meaning it continues to follow patients who have already been taking <i>Mexiletine</i> to gather more information about its long-term use. The study will last for up to 18 months, during which participants will be regularly assessed to track their progress and any changes in their condition. The goal is to provide valuable insights into the long-term management of <i>Myotonic Dystrophy</i> with <i>Mexiletine</i>.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This clinical trial is focused on studying the effects of a medication called <i>Mexiletine</i> on a condition known as <i>Myotonic Dystrophy</i>, which comes in two types: <i>Type 1</i> and <i>Type 2</i>. Myotonic Dystrophy is a genetic disorder that affects muscle function, leading to symptoms like muscle stiffness and weakness. The medication being tested, <i>Mexiletine</i>, is provided in the form of granules for a prolonged-release oral suspension, meaning it is taken by mouth and designed to release the active ingredient slowly over time. The study will also include a placebo group for comparison.</p>
<p>The purpose of this study is to evaluate how effective and safe <i>Mexiletine</i> is in treating the symptoms of myotonia, which is the delayed relaxation of muscles after contraction, in patients with <i>Myotonic Dystrophy</i>. Participants in the study will take the medication once daily for a period of 26 weeks. Throughout the study, various assessments will be conducted to monitor changes in muscle function and overall quality of life. These assessments include measuring handgrip relaxation time and using questionnaires to evaluate the impact of the condition on daily life.</p>
<p>Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the <i>Mexiletine</i> treatment or a placebo, and neither the participants nor the researchers will know which treatment each participant is receiving. This approach is known as a double-blind study and helps ensure that the results are unbiased. The study aims to provide valuable information on whether <i>Mexiletine</i> can be a beneficial treatment option for individuals living with <i>Myotonic Dystrophy</i>.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This study involves people with <b>Type 1 Myotonic Dystrophy</b>, a genetic condition that causes muscle weakness and stiffness, particularly difficulty relaxing muscles after use. The study will test a new medicine called <b>ARO-DM1</b>, which is given through an infusion into a vein. Some participants will receive a placebo instead of the actual medicine. The medicine is being developed to target the genetic cause of this condition.</p>
<p>The purpose of this study is to find out if <b>ARO-DM1</b> is safe and well-tolerated in people with <b>Type 1 Myotonic Dystrophy</b>, and to understand how the body processes the medicine and how it affects the disease. The study will also look at whether the medicine can improve the condition in some participants. This is a dose-escalating study, which means that different groups of participants will receive different amounts of the medicine to find the best dose. The study will measure how often side effects occur and how severe they are, as well as how the medicine moves through the bloodstream over time.</p>
<p>Participants in this study will be adults between 18 and 65 years old who have a confirmed genetic diagnosis of the condition with a specific genetic pattern. They must have visible signs of muscle stiffness and be able to walk independently for at least 10 meters, though they may use braces. The study involves receiving either the study medicine or placebo through infusions, and participants will be monitored throughout the study period for safety and how well the treatment works.</p>

This is a genetic disorder that affects muscle function, leading to muscle weakness and other symptoms. The study will compare the effects of metformin with a placebo to see if metformin can improve muscle function in people with this condition.</p>
<p>The purpose of the study is to evaluate how well metformin works in improving muscle function in patients with Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1. Participants in the study will be randomly assigned to receive either metformin or a placebo. The study will last for about 12 months, during which participants will have regular check-ups to monitor their muscle function and overall health. The study will also assess the safety of metformin by keeping track of any serious side effects that may occur during the treatment period.</p>
<p>Throughout the study, various aspects of muscle function will be measured, including walking ability, hand-grip strength, and other physical capabilities. The study will also look at how metformin affects heart and lung function, as well as the overall quality of life for participants. By the end of the study, researchers hope to determine whether metformin can be a beneficial treatment for improving muscle function in people with Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1.</p>

The study will involve both single and multiple doses of the treatment, administered intravenously, which means it will be given directly into a vein. The trial will include regular monitoring to ensure the safety of participants and to observe any effects of the treatment.</p>
