Non-ambulatory patients must be able to tolerate an upright sitting position, with support, continuously for 3 hours
• Hammersmith (HFMS-E) score ≥ 10 and ≤ 54
• Contracture of the elbow flexion and knee flexion ≤ 90 degrees
• Pre-study clinical laboratory findings within the normal range or, if outside the normal range, deemed not clinically significant by the Investigator

• Forced vital capacity (FVC) > 20% predicted

• Male patients who have reached puberty must agree to do either of the following from Screening until 10 weeks after the last dose of the investigational product unless they have had a vasectomy and confirmed sperm count is zero:

  • If having heterosexual intercourse, must use a highly effective contraception method* and require the male partners to use a condom from Screening until 10 weeks after the last dose of investigational product

    *Highly effective contraception methods include:

  • Established use of oral, injected or implanted hormonal methods of contraception
