Eligibility

Recruits 8 paediatric patients.

Vulnerable Population
Study includes a vulnerable paediatric population: male children aged ≥2 to <6 years. Written consent must be provided by parent/legal guardian and subject written assent, if applicable (according to local regulation). Child assent and parent/main parent ICF documents (L1 SIS and ICF) are provided for core and extension phases.

Inclusion criteria

  • {"criterion_text":"- CORE PHASE: Male children aged ≥2 to <6 years at screening (subjects ≥6 years of age at screening will not be enrolled into the study)"}
  • {"criterion_text":"- CORE PHASE: Written consent provided by parent/legal guardian and subject written assent, if applicable (according to local regulation)"}
  • {"criterion_text":"- CORE PHASE: A genetic diagnosis of DMD"}
  • {"criterion_text":"- CORE PHASE: Corticosteroid treatment considerations: a.\tFor subjects receiving a stable dose of oral systemic corticosteroids: No significant change in dose or dosing regimen (except for adjustments due to body weight change) for a minimum of 3 months immediately prior to the start of study drug or b.\tFor subjects without current corticosteroids treatment: Must not start corticosteroids during core phase (ie, first 48 weeks)"}
  • {"criterion_text":"- EXTENSION PHASE: Must have participated in the Core Phase study (48 weeks) and have attended the End of Treatment Visit (EOT/V12)"}
  • {"criterion_text":"- EXTENSION PHASE: Give informed consent and /or assent in writing signed by the parent/legal guardian and/or subject (according to local regulation)"}
  • {"criterion_text":"- EXTENSION PHASE: In stable oral systemic corticosteroids treatment with no significant change in dose or dosing regimen (except for adjustments due to body weight change). For subjects without corticosteroids during the Core Phase, the treatment can be started based on the Investigator’s clinical medical judgement."}

Exclusion criteria

  • {"criterion_text":"- CORE PHASE: Exposure to any other investigational drug within 3 months prior to the start of study drug"}
  • {"criterion_text":"- EXTENSION PHASE: Current liver disease or impairment, including but not limited to an elevated total bilirubin (ie, >1.5 × ULN), unless secondary to Gilbert disease or pattern consistent with Gilbert disease"}

  • {"criterion_text":"- CORE PHASE: The presence of other clinically significant disease, which, in the Investigator’s opinion, could adversely affect subject’s safety, making it unlikely to complete the study or to be compliant with study-specific requirements that could impair the assessment of study results"}
  • {"criterion_text":"- CORE PHASE: Inadequate renal function, as defined by serum Cystatin C result >2 × ULN (Note: if the value is >2 × ULN, the serum Cystatin C will be repeated once; if the repeated test result is still >2 × ULN, the subject will be excluded)"}
