Open-Label Extension Study of WVE-N531 in Patients With Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

March 4, 2026 updated by: Wave Life Sciences Ltd.

An Open-Label Extension Study to Investigate the Long-term Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Efficacy of WVE-N531 in Patients With Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Who Participated in Another Study of WVE-N531

This is a Phase 2 open-label extension (OLE) study to evaluate the long-term safety, tolerability, efficacy, pharmacokinetics, and the pharmacodynamics (PD) through potential exploratory biomarker(s) of intravenous (IV) WVE-N531 in patients with DMD who participated in another study of WVE-N531. All patients will have rolled over from a previous study of WVE-N531.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

The study will include up to 175 patients from planned and ongoing WVE-N531 studies globally. All patients will continue to receive 10 mg/kg WVE-N531 IV every 4 weeks (Q4W), through Week 96. Safety monitoring will continue for approximately 11 months after the final dose. The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of WVE-N531.

Study Type

Enrollment (Estimated)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.
175

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

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.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Child
  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Participated in a prior study of WVE-N531 and has not experienced any significant toxicities due to WVE-N531 or significant clinical deterioration of general health since the last dose or early discontinuation visit.
  2. Of note: if there will be a greater than 31-day gap between the last dose on the prior study and the FD on this study, the case should be discussed between the Investigator and Medical Monitor.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Any clinically significant medical finding or change during or following participation in the prior WVE-N531 study, other than DMD that, in the judgment of the Investigator, would affect the potential safety of the patient to receive WVE-N531 or interfere with participation in the study.
  2. Any recreational substance use (including prescribed cannabinoids), with the exception of alcohol and nicotine, irrespective of legality, within 2 months prior to FD and/or unwilling to refrain from such use for the duration of the study.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.

Time Frame: Time Frame: Week 0 through Week 96

  • ECG (12- Lead single tracing)
  • ECHO (including left ventricular ejection fraction)

Time Frame: Week 0 through Week 96

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
