  • Baseline corticosteroid regimen (either daily or weekend dose regimen)

Eligibility

Recruits 32 paediatric patients.

Vulnerable Population
Participants are children (male ambulatory DMD patients aged ≥7 to <10 years). Parent(s) or legal guardian(s) must provide written informed consent; participants will be asked to provide written or verbal assent according to local requirements.
