Can you help us investigate a potential treatment for people with a rare muscle disease?
About the study
This study is being conducted to investigate a potential new treatment for a rare muscle disease, called GNE
myopathy.
The study will evaluate the amount of the study treatment absorbed into the body after oral administration
compared to when it is administered via intravenous injection.
It is anticipated that this information will provide key data to further develop this potential new treatment for
patients with GNE myopathy.
What it involves
All volunteers are required to attend a screening evaluation (approximately 1 hour) at the PARC Clinical
Research Unit (Royal Adelaide Hospital) to determine suitability for study participation.
If you are selected for study participation, you will be required to attend the PARC Clinical Research Unit for 2
full days + 4 brief follow-up visits. During these visits you will receive the study treatment and will undergo
regular blood sampling and safety assessments.
Study participants will be paid for their time.
Eligibility
If you are male, aged 18-59 years and generally in good health, you may be eligible to participate in this trial.
