BOSTON, March 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Constant Therapeutics LLC, a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of treatments impacting the Alternative Renin-Angiotensin System, today announced that the first patient was dosed March 3, 2024, in the Company's phase 2 clinical trial of TXA127, the Company's lead peptide product under development as a potential treatment for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy-associated (DMD-associated) Cardiomyopathy.

The phase 2 trial is an open-label, multi-center trial designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy in non-ambulatory patients with DMD-associated Cardiomyopathy who are 16 years and older and who are receiving systemic glucocorticoids. Patients will receive 6 months of treatment and have the option to enter a 12-month extension study. The study is being conducted in Israel at Sheba Medical Center and Hadassah Medical Center and is expected to enroll 10 patients.

"This is a significant milestone for Constant and for the DMD community," said Rick Franklin, CEO of Constant Therapeutics. "There are few treatments for DMD patients with cardiomyopathy, and heart failure is a leading cause of death in this disease. We are excited to initiate this carefully designed trial, and we look forward to sharing the data with the DMD community upon completion of the trial."
