Eligibility

Recruits 59 paediatric patients.

Vulnerable Population
The trial enrolls paediatric participants (age 4 to 16 years) and is flagged as involving a vulnerable population. Consent/assent materials are provided: parental/guardian informed consent forms (Parental ICF, Main ICF) and multiple age‑appropriate paediatric assent forms (e.g. Pediatric Assent Form 4-6 years, 7-12 years, 13-17 years). Country-specific ICF/assent documents are available (English, French, Dutch, Italian, Spanish versions listed). Additional participant-specific forms (PP and Newborn ICF, Pregnant partner and Newborn ICF) and optional-substudy consent forms are also provided. Parental/guardian consent is required for minors with age-appropriate assent gathered from the child as indicated by the available assent forms.

Consent Approach
Informed consent is obtained from the parent(s)/legal guardian(s) for paediatric participants; age-appropriate assent is obtained from paediatric participants using multiple assent forms (e.g. Pediatric Assent Forms for ages 4-6, 7-12, 11-13, 13-17 depending on country/version). Consent and assent documents are provided in multiple languages and country-specific versions are available (English, French, Dutch, Italian, Spanish forms are listed). Additional optional consent forms are provided for biomarker substudies and optional genetic testing; partner/pregnant/newborn information and consent forms are also provided where applicable.

Methods

  • Recruitment via participating hospital/clinic paediatric neurology departments at listed trial sites (country-specific site lists for Belgium, Italy, Spain, Ireland).
  • Country-specific recruitment arrangements documents (K1 files) prepared for Belgium, Italy, Spain, and Ireland (e.g. 'K1_DYNE251-DMD-201_Recruitment-Arrangments_ES_Public' and equivalents).
  • GP letters for recruitment in Italy (document 'K2_DYNE251-DMD-201_GP Letter_IT_Public').
  • Use of patient recruitment materials produced by contracted third parties (Matthews Media Group Inc. listed with duty 'Patient recruitment material').
  • Use of travel reimbursement and relocation support to facilitate participation (documents and third parties listed for travel reimbursement and patient travel services).
