Key result

CK-2127107 significantly increased tibialis anterior muscle response to nerve activation compared to placebo, with the largest increase in peak force being ~60% at 10 Hz.

Why the study?

Does single doses of CK-2127107 (CK-107) improve force-frequency response of muscle in healthy participants?

Population

Healthy participants

Comparison

Single doses of CK-2127107 (CK-107) vs Placebo

Does single doses of CK-2127107 (CK-107) improve force-frequency response of muscle in healthy participants?

P
Population
Healthy participants evaluated in a randomized, double-blind, 4-period crossover study to assess muscle response.
I
Intervention
Single doses of CK-2127107 (CK-107)
C
Comparator
Placebo
O
Outcome
Force-frequency response of foot dorsiflexion following stimulation of the deep fibular nerve to activate the tibialis anterior musclesurrogate

Main Result

Effect estimate: ~60% increase

CK-2127107 significantly amplifies the force-frequency response of skeletal muscle in healthy humans, supporting its potential development for patients with impaired muscle function.

Cite This Study

Andrews et al. (2017) conducted an RCT in Healthy participants. CK-2127107 (CK-107) vs. placebo was evaluated on force-frequency response of foot dorsiflexion following stimulation of the deep fibular nerve to activate the tibialis anterior muscle (~60% increase). CK-2127107 significantly increased tibialis anterior muscle response to nerve activation compared to placebo, with the largest increase in peak force being ~60% at 10 Hz.
