Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether IGF-1 therapy improves or preserves muscle function in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD).

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • DMD diagnosed with mutational testing and/or complete absence of dystrophin on muscle biopsy
  • Proximal pelvic girdle weakness (Gower's maneuver, difficulty with arising from floor and going up steps)
  • Male
  • Age > 5 years of age
  • Bone maturation (assess by bone age x-ray): 12 months
  • Ambulatory
  • Informed consent
  • Willingness and ability to comply with all protocol requirements and procedures

Exclusion Criteria

  • Current or prior treatment with growth hormone or IGF-1 therapy
  • Non-ambulatory
  • Pubertal (based on clinical Tanner staging examination)
  • Congestive cardiac failure
  • History of intracranial hypertension
  • Daytime ventilatory dependence (non-invasive or tracheostomy)
  • Concomitant therapy - any other medications/supplements that would be considered, in the opinion of the investigators, to affect muscle function, need to have been started 3 months prior to enrollment
  • Patients enrolled in other clinical drug trials
  • Any physical or mental conditions which may, in the investigators'opinions, render the subject unable to complete the tasks of the study appropriately
  • There will be no selection by ethnicity
