Study of intravenous AOC 1001 to evaluate long-term safety and effectiveness in patients with myotonic dystrophy type 1

3 1 1

What is this study about?

This study focuses on Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1, also known as DM1, which is an inherited muscle disorder that causes progressive muscle weakness and affects multiple body systems. The study will test a medication called AOC 1001, which is given through an intravenous infusion (delivered directly into a vein). This medication is a specialized type of drug that combines an antibody with genetic material designed to target the underlying cause of the disease.

The purpose of this research is to evaluate how safe and well-tolerated AOC 1001 is when used as a long-term treatment for people with Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1. 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’s body weight, up to a maximum of 4 mg per kilogram.

This is a continuation study, which means it follows up on previous research with the same medication. The study is “open-label,” 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.

1 Initial participation

You will begin participation in a long-term study for Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1 (DM1) treatment after completing a previous AOC 1001 study

The study will evaluate how safe and well-tolerated the medication is over an extended period

2 Treatment administration

You will receive AOC 1001 through an intravenous infusion (delivered directly into your vein)

The medication is a solution containing a specialized antibody combined with genetic material designed to target DM1

3 Safety monitoring

Your health will be monitored for any treatment-related side effects

Medical staff will track and document any changes in your condition throughout the study

4 Study duration

The study is planned to run from January 2026 to October 2030

Your participation will involve regular medical visits throughout this period to receive treatment and monitor your progress

5 Study completion

The study will conclude with final health assessments

Medical staff will evaluate the overall safety and effectiveness of the long-term treatment

Trial locations

AOC 1001 is an investigational medication given through intravenous injection (into the vein). It is being studied as a potential treatment for patients with myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1), which is a genetic disorder that causes progressive muscle weakness. The medication is designed to help address the underlying cause of the disease and is being evaluated for its long-term safety and effectiveness in patients with this condition.

Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1 – A genetic disorder that affects muscle function, causing progressive muscle weakness and wasting. The condition is characterized by myotonia, where muscles have difficulty relaxing after contraction. It typically begins in early adulthood and can affect multiple body systems, including skeletal muscles, heart, eyes, and the nervous system. The disease causes increasing difficulty with everyday activities like walking, gripping objects, and speaking clearly. The symptoms tend to worsen gradually over time as muscles become progressively weaker.
