A Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Multiple Ascending Dose Study Assessing Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacodynamics, Efficacy, and Pharmacokinetics of DYNE-101 Administered to Participants with Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1

Neurology Adult Subjects

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 (168 weeks) in both multiple-ascending dose (MAD) and dose expansion cohorts.

A pilot study of the effect of terazosin on ATP levels in people with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (TZ-ALS)

Neurology Adult Subjects Female Subjects Male Subjects

This will be a single center, open label pilot study to assess the safety and tolerability of terazosin (TZ) at a dose of 5 milligrams (mg) per os (PO) daily for patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The primary outcome of this study is to determine whether TZ increases adenosine triphosphate (ATP) levels in ALS. The investigators will measure adverse outcomes, safety, and tolerability of taking TZ. Procedures include blood draws, spirometry, lumbar punctures, fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) scans, questionnaires, and physical examinations. TZ will be titrated up to 5 mg PO daily. This is a pilot study and is not powered to assess efficacy of this medication. The investigators' hope is that this study will guide future studies of this (and similar) medications for the disease modification of ALS. This study also aims to learn more about how patients produce and use energy and if TZ can help to reverse energy deficits that appear in ALS.
