Who can take part
You may be able to join if
- Participant 7 to <12 years of age.
- Participant is able to understand and comply with all study procedures as appropriate by age and has a parent(s) or legal guardian(s) (i.e., legally authorized representative [LAR]) who is (are) able to understand and comply with the study procedure requirements. Be willing to provide informed assent and have an LAR(s) who is (are) willing to provide written informed consent for the participant to participate in the study.
- If participant is of reproductive potential, participant and partner of childbearing potential are willing to use 2 highly effective forms of contraception for 12 months following study drug administration.
- Participant is ambulatory. Ambulatory is defined as “being able to walk without the use of an assistive device.”
- Established clinical diagnosis of DMD and documented dystrophin gene mutation predictive of DMD phenotype.
- Negative for AAV antibodies.
You likely can't join if
- Prior or ongoing medical condition, medical history, or physical finding that in the Investigator's opinion could adversely affect the safety of the participant, make it unlikely that the course of treatment or follow-up would be completed, or could impair the assessment of study results.
- History of severe hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, to the product or its components.
- Current or prior treatment with an approved or investigational gene transfer drug or gene editing therapy.
- Exposure to vamorolone, givinostat, approved or investigational dystrophin- or disease-modifying drugs (such as eteplirsen, golodirsen, casimersen, viltolarsen, and ataluren), or another investigational drug for any indication within 6 months or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer, prior to enrollment.
- Any active infection.
- Major surgery within 3 months prior to recruitment or planned surgery any time during this study that would have the potential to interfere with the ability or performance on outcome measures.
