About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy focused on measuring Duchenne muscular dystrophy, DMD, Oligonucleotides, Antisense, Exon skipping
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Confirmation of out-of-frame deletion(s) that could be corrected by dystrophin gene exon 45 skipping.
- Intact muscles of adequate quality for biopsy to allow evaluation of the efficacy of the study drug.
- Boys aged from 5 years to <11 years.
- Patients able to walk at least 325 meters in the 6-minutes walk test.
- Glucocorticoid-naive patients, or patients who have used glucocorticoids for at least 6 months prior to enrollment in this study with no dose changes for at least 3 months prior to enrollment.
Exclusion Criteria:
- A genetic mutation that can not be expected the expression of dystrophin protein by dystrophin gene exon 45 skipping.
- A concurrent illness other than DMD that can cause muscle weakness and/or impairment of motor function.
- Current or history of severe disorder.
- Left ventricular ejection fraction (LEVF) <55%.

Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Experimental
DS-5141b
DS-5141b, Subcutaneous injection Part 1: DS-5141b will be injected subcutaneously once a week for 2 weeks at the following dose levels. Dose escalation will be performed. DS-5141b will be administered at dose levels 1 and 3 in Cohort 1 and at dose levels 2 and 4 in Cohort 2. Level 1: 0.1 mg/kg Level 2: 0.5 mg/kg Level 3: 2.0 mg/kg Level 4: 6.0 mg/kg Part 2: Two doses of DS-5141b will be selected based on the results obtained in Part 1. Each selected dose will be administered subcutaneously once a week for 12 weeks. Part 2-Extension: Two doses, 2.0 mg/kg or 6.0 mg/kg, of DS-5141b will be administered subcutaneously once a week for 48 weeks.
