spironolactone has been researched along with Muscular Dystrophy, Animal in 2 studies
Spironolactone: A potassium sparing diuretic that acts by antagonism of aldosterone in the distal renal tubules. It is used mainly in the treatment of refractory edema in patients with congestive heart failure, nephrotic syndrome, or hepatic cirrhosis. Its effects on the endocrine system are utilized in the treatments of hirsutism and acne but they can lead to adverse effects. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p827)
spironolactone : A steroid lactone that is 17alpha-pregn-4-ene-21,17-carbolactone substituted by an oxo group at position 3 and an alpha-acetylsulfanyl group at position 7.
Muscular Dystrophy, Animal: MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY that occurs in VERTEBRATE animals.

| A Randomized Open Label Trial of Spironolactone Versus Prednisolone in Corticosteroid-naïve Boys With DMD[NCT03777319] | Phase 1 | 2 participants (Actual) | Interventional | 2018-12-05 | Terminated (stopped due to Inability to recruit participants.) | ||

The determination of whether spironolactone has similar efficacy to glucocorticoids in improving muscle strength in steroid naïve DMD patients. This will be determined by measuring the time to complete a 100 meter timed test (100M). (NCT03777319)
Timeframe: 6 months
| Intervention | sec (Number) |
|---|---|
| Spironolactone | -0.6 |
| Prednisolone | -5.3 |
Secondary outcome measures will be Dynamometry score, which is a summation of maximum voluntary isometric contraction test values for knee flexion, knee extension, elbow flexion, and elbow extension (NCT03777319)

Electrolytes (Sodium, Potassium, Cloride and Carbon dioxide, mmol/L) will be measured on a monthly basis following initiation of either spironolactone or prednisolone. (NCT03777319)
