About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy focused on measuring gene therapy, mini-dystrophin, AAV, fordadistrogene movaparvovec

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Receipt of live attenuated vaccination within 3 months prior to receiving PF-06939926 or exposure to an influenza (or other inactivated) vaccination or systemic antiviral and/or interferon therapy within 30 days prior to receipt of PF-06939926;
  • Prior exposure to any gene therapy agent, including exon-skipping agents;
  • Exposure to other investigational drugs within 30 days or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer;

  • Compromised cardiac function as indicated by left ventricular ejection fraction on cardiac MRI, as follows, based on ambulatory status:

    • FOR AMBULATORY PARTICIPANTS: Less than 55%,
    • FOR NON-AMBULATORY PARTICIPANTS: Less than 35%;
  • Inadequate hepatic or renal function or risk factors for autoimmune disease on screening laboratory assessments.
  • The following genetic abnormalities in the dystrophin gene as confirmed by the investigator based on the review of the DMD genetic testing:

    1. Any mutation (exon deletion, exon duplication, insertion, or point mutation) affecting any exon between exon 9 and exon 13, inclusive; OR
    2. A deletion that affects both exon 29 and exon 30.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This is a first-in-human/first-in-patient, multi-center, open-label, non-randomized, ascending dose, safety and tolerability study of a single intravenous infusion of PF-06939926 in ambulatory and non-ambulatory subjects with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Other objectives include measurement of dystrophin expression and distribution, and assessments of muscle strength, quality, and function. A total of approximately 22 subjects will receive PF-06939926, and these will include both ambulatory and non-ambulatory subjects. Up to 13 subjects may be included in a cohort that includes the concomitant medication, sirolimus. In order to mitigate unanticipated risks to subject safety, enrollment will be staggered within and between two planned dose-levels and will include a formal review by an external data monitoring committee (E-DMC) prior to dose progression.
