Who can take part
You may be able to join if
- Genetic diagnosis of DMD and confirmed pathologic variant in the dystrophin gene amenable to exon 44 skipping as reviewed by a central genetic counselor.
- Assigned male at birth with clinical signs compatible with Duchenne muscular dystrophy as determined by the investigator.
- Part A: 4-20 years of age, inclusive
- Ambulatory Status Part A: ambulatory with a Performance of the Upper Limb v2.0 (PUL 2.0) Entry as per protocol at Screening
- Adequate muscle for obtaining tissue biopsy as assessed by the investigator.
- Other protocol-defined criteria apply
You likely can't join if
- Any significant concomitant medical condition that might interfere with the ability to comply with protocol requirements
- Has an acute illness within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of study drug which may interfere with study measurements or jeopardize participant’s safety
- Use of the following medications: a. Prior treatment with any exon skipping therapy at any time b. Prior treatment with any gene therapy at any time From at least 30 days prior to the start of the screening period until the end of the study: c. Use of anti-coagulants, anti-thrombotics, or anti-platelet agents d. Use of immunosuppressants (other than oral corticosteroids for DMD conditions) e. Has taken or is currently taking a histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor, including (but not limited to) givinostat
- Laboratory abnormalities
- Daytime ventilator dependence, or any use of invasive mechanical ventilation via tracheostomy.
- Has an abnormal electrocardiogram (ECG) reading assessed as clinically significant by the investigator, and/or a QT interval with Fridericia correction method (QTcF) >450 msec at Screening or prior to the first dose of study drug on Day 1.
