Dose-Titration and Open-label Extension Study of SRP-4045 in Advanced Stage Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) Patients

A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Dose-Titration, Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics Study Followed by an Open-Label Safety and Efficacy Evaluation of SRP-4045 in Advanced-Stage Patients With Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Amenable to Exon 45 Skipping

This is a first-in-human dose-titration and open-label extension study to assess safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of SRP-4045 in advanced-stage Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) patients with deletions amenable to exon 45 skipping.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
• Intervention / Treatment: Drug: Placebo; Drug: SRP-4045

Detailed Description

This is a randomized, placebo-controlled dose-titration study to assess safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of 4 dose levels of SRP-4045 in genotypically confirmed advanced-stage DMD patients with deletions amenable to exon 45 skipping.

After completion of the dose-titration portion of the study and SRP-4045 is determined to be safe, all patients will be evaluated on open-label SRP-4045 for the duration of the study.

Safety, including adverse event monitoring, routine laboratory assessments, and cardiac testing will be monitored through the duration of the dose-titration and open-label portions of the study.

Clinical efficacy will be assessed at regularly scheduled study visits via quality of life questionnaires and tests of pulmonary and upper extremity function through the duration of the dose-titration and open-label portions of the trial.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)	Adverse event (AE) was any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical trial participant, which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the investigational drug. AEs also included abnormal physical examination findings (Physical examination were conducted per protocol and any clinically significant abnormal findings were recorded in medical history if pre-existing or addressed as an AE if new or worsening). TEAEs was defined as AEs that started, worsened, or became serious on or after the start of first infusion through 148 weeks. Number of participants with TEAEs were reported.	Baseline up to Week 148
Number of Participants With Potentially Clinically Significant (PCS) Laboratory Abnormalities Reported as TEAEs	Laboratory parameters included serum chemistry (hepatic chemistry and renal chemistry), hematology, coagulation, and urinalysis. Number of participants with potentially clinically significant abnormal finding were reported as TEAEs. The Investigator determined whether abnormal assessment results were potentially clinically significant or not. Potentially clinical significance was defined as any variation in assessment results that had medical relevance resulting in an alteration in medical care.	Baseline up to Week 148
Number of Participants With Potentially Clinically Significant Abnormalities in Vital Signs Reported as TEAEs	Vital sign parameters included systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), heart rate (HR), and body temperature. Number of participants with at least one potentially clinically significant abnormal vital signs findings were reported as TEAEs. The Investigator determined whether abnormal assessment results were potentially clinically significant or not. Potential clinical significance was defined as any variation in assessment results that had medical relevance resulting in an alteration in medical care.	Baseline up to Week 148
Number of Participants With Potentially Clinically Significant Abnormalities in Electrocardiogram (ECG) Reported as TEAEs	Twelve-lead ECGs were performed at a consistent time of day throughout the study. Electrocardiograms were performed only after the participant was in the supine position, resting, and quiet for a minimum of 15 minutes. The ECG was manually reviewed and interpreted by medically qualified personnel. Number of participants with potentially clinically significant abnormalities in ECG reported as TEAEs were presented here. The Investigator determined whether abnormal assessment results were potentially clinically significant or not.	Baseline up to Week 148
Number of Participants With Potentially Clinically Significant Abnormalities in Echocardiograms (ECHO)	Standard, 2-dimensional ECHOs were performed at a consistent time of day throughout the study.The ECHO was reviewed and interpreted by medically qualified personnel. Number of participants with potentially clinically significant abnormalities in ECHO were reported.	Baseline up to Week 148
