A Study of SGT-003 Gene Therapy in Ambulant Males With Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (IMPACT DUCHENNE)

June 1, 2026 updated by: Solid Biosciences Inc.

A Phase 3, Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study to Investigate the Efficacy of a Single Intravenous Dose of SGT-003 in Ambulant Males With Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

This is a Phase 3, double-blind, placebo-controlled study with the primary objective of evaluating the efficacy of a single IV infusion of SGT-003 in pediatric ambulant male participants with DMD. The secondary objectives include the evaluation of additional efficacy and safety outcomes. The study will be divided into 2 parts. Participants will be randomized 1:1 to either SGT-003 in Part 1 followed by placebo in Part 2 or to placebo in Part 1 followed by SGT-003 in Part 2. Participants will continue to be monitored in long term follow up (LTFU) for at least 5 years from their SGT-003 dosing date.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Participant is ambulatory.
  • Established clinical diagnosis of DMD and documented DMD gene mutation predictive of DMD phenotype.
  • Negative for antibodies against adeno-associated virus.
  • On a stable daily oral regimen of at least 0.5 mg/kg/day prednisone or 0.75 milligrams per kilogram per day (mg/kg/day) deflazacort for at least 6 months prior to entering the study, allowing for weight-based dose modifications in accordance with clinical practice.
  • Meet 10-meter walk/run time criteria.
  • Meet time to rise from supine criteria.
  • Participant has bodyweight ≤50 kg.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • 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.
  • Established clinical diagnosis of DMD that is associated with any deletion variant or variant predicted not to express exons 1 to 11, exons 42 to 45, or exons 57 to 69, inclusive of the DMD gene as documented by a genetic report.

Other Inclusion/Exclusion criteria to be applied as per protocol.
