The registry criteria, word for word
Show all 15 criteriaShow less
Who can take part
- Diagnosis of DM1 with trinucleotide repeat size >100
- Age of onset of DM1 muscle symptoms ≥12 years
- Clinically apparent myotonia equivalent to hand opening time of at least 2 seconds in the opinion of the Investigator
- Hand grip strength and ankle dorsiflexion strength
- Able to complete 10-MWRT, stair ascend/descend (MAD cohorts only), and 5×STS at screening without the use of assistive devices such as canes, walkers, or orthoses
Who cannot take part
- History of major surgical procedure within 12 weeks prior to the start of investigative product administration or an expectation of a major surgical procedure (eg, implantation of cardiac defibrillator) during the study
- Treatment with medications that can improve myotonia within a period of 5 half-lives of the medication prior to performing screening assessments
- Participant has a history of suicide attempt, suicidal behavior, or has any suicidal ideation within 6 months prior to Screening that meets criteria at a level of 4 or 5 of the Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) or who, in the opinion of the Investigator, is at significant risk to commit suicide
- Use of glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) agonist medications including semaglutide, dulaglutide, liraglutide, exenatide, or tirzepatide within a period of 5 half-lives of the medication prior to performing screening assessments
- History of anaphylaxis
- Medical condition other than DM1 that would significantly impact ambulation or participation in functional assessments
- History of tibialis anterior biopsy within 3 months of Day 1 or planning to undergo tibialis anterior biopsies during study period for reasons unrelated to the study
- Electrocardiogram (ECG) with the corrected QT interval by Fridericia's Formula (QTcF) ≥450 milliseconds (ms) in men and QTcF ≥460 ms in women, PR ≥240 ms, left bundle-branch block, or a conduction defect, which is clinically significant in the opinion of the Investigator
- Percent predicted forced vital capacity (FVC) <50%
- Significant weight loss during study participation may impact weight-based dosing, performance on muscle function assessments, and pharmacodynamic (PD) biomarkers; Note: Other inclusion and exclusion criteria may apply

About the trial
What the trial wants to find out
The primary purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of multiple intravenous (IV) doses of DYNE-101 administered to participants with Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1 (DM1).

The study consists of 4 periods: A Screening Period (up to 8 weeks), a Placebo-Controlled Period (24 weeks), a Treatment Period (24 weeks) and a Long-Term Extension (LTE) Period (208 weeks) in both multiple-ascending dose (MAD) and dose expansion cohorts.
The 8 groups in the trial
- MAD Cohort: Placebo-Controlled Period: DYNE-101Treatment being tested
Participants will be randomized to receive ascending doses of DYNE-101, once every 4 weeks (Q4W) or once every 8 weeks (Q8W) for up to 24 weeks.
Treatment: DYNE-101
- MAD Cohort: Placebo-Controlled Period: PlaceboPlacebo, for comparison
Participants will be randomized to receive DYNE-101 matching placebo, Q4W or Q8W for up to 24 weeks.
Treatment: Placebo
- MAD Cohort: Treatment Period: DYNE-101Treatment being tested
Participants who receive DYNE-101 in Placebo-Controlled Period will continue to receive DYNE-101, Q4W or Q8W for up to 24 weeks. Participants who receive placebo in Placebo-Controlled Period will receive DYNE-101, Q4W or Q8W for up to 24 weeks.
Treatment: DYNE-101 and Placebo
- MAD Cohort: Long-Term Extension Period: DYNE-101Treatment being tested
Participants will receive DYNE-101, Q4W or Q8W for up to 208 weeks.
Treatment: DYNE-101
- Dose Expansion Cohort: Placebo-Controlled Period: DYNE-101Treatment being tested
Participants will receive DYNE-101, Q8W for up to 24 weeks.
Treatment: DYNE-101
- Dose Expansion Cohort: Placebo-Controlled Period: PlaceboTreatment being tested
Participants will receive DYNE-101 matching placebo, Q8W for up to 24 weeks.
Treatment: Placebo
- Dose Expansion Cohort: Treatment Period: DYNE-101Treatment being tested
Participants who receive DYNE-101 in Placebo-Controlled Period will continue to receive DYNE-101, Q8W for up to 24 weeks. Participants who receive placebo in Placebo-Controlled Period will receive DYNE-101, Q8W for up to 24 weeks.
Treatment: DYNE-101 and Placebo
- Dose Expansion Cohort: Long-Term Extension Period: DYNE-101Treatment being tested
Participants will receive DYNE-101, Q8W for up to 208 weeks.
Treatment: DYNE-101
