NS-089/NCNP-02-201 in Boys With Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD)

Description

This is a Phase 2, open-label, multi-center, 2-part study of NS-089/NCNP-02 administered by weekly IV infusion to ambulant boys aged ≥4 to \<15 years with DMD due to mutations amenable to exon 44 skipping. Participants will receive a selected dose of NS-089/NCNP-02 administered once weekly. The study consists of 2 parts: Part 1 and Part 2. Six participants (Cohort 1) will participate in both Part 1 and Part 2, and 14 participants (Cohort 2) will be added for Part 2.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

For general information about clinical research, read Learn About Studies.

Eligibility Criteria

  • * Male ≥ 4 years and \<15 years of age
  • * Confirmed DMD mutation(s) in the dystrophin gene that is amenable to skipping of exon 44 to restore the dystrophin mRNA reading frame
  • * Able to walk independently without assistive devices
  • * Ability to complete the TTSTAND without assistance in \<20 seconds
  • * Stable dose of glucocorticoid for at least 3 months and the dose is expected to remain on a stable dose for the duration of the study.
  • * Other inclusion criteria may apply.
  • * Has a body weight of \<20 kg at the time of informed consent (applies to participants screening for Part 1 only)
  • * Evidence of symptomatic cardiomyopathy
  • * Current or previous treatment with anabolic steroids (e.g., oxandrolone) or products containing resveratrol or adenosine triphosphate within 3 months prior to first dose of study drug
  • * Current or previous treatment with any other investigational drug within 3 months prior to the first dose of study drug or within 5 times the half-life of a medication, whichever is longer
  • * Surgery within the 3 months prior to the first dose of study drug or planned during the study duration
  • * Previously treated in an interventional study of NS-089/NCNP-02
  • * Having taken any gene therapy or other exon-skipping oligonucleotide
  • * Other exclusion criteria may apply.
