Brief Summary:
This is a multicenter, open-label, dose-escalation study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and PK of once-weekly IV infusions of eteplirsen in approximately 12 male participants, ages 6 months to 48 months (inclusive), who have genotypically confirmed DMD with a deletion mutation amenable to exon 51 skipping.

Primary Purpose: Treatment
Official Title: An Open-Label Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics Study of Eteplirsen in Young Patients With Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Amenable to Exon 51 Skipping
Actual Study Start Date : August 16, 2017
Actual Primary Completion Date : March 10, 2021
Actual Study Completion Date : March 10, 2021


Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Eteplirsen
Eteplirsen will be administered once every 7 days by intravenous (IV) infusion starting on Day 1 for up to 96 weeks. The starting dose will be 2 milligrams/kilogram (mg/kg) eteplirsen, with escalation to 4, 10, 20, and 30 mg/kg for 10 weeks, and then participants will continue to receive eteplirsen at 30 mg/kg for the duration of the study.
Drug: Eteplirsen
Infusion for intravenous use.
Other Names:
  • AVI-4658
  • EXONDYS 51®




Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs), Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), and TEAEs Leading to Discontinuation From Study Drug [ Time Frame: Baseline up to Week 100 ]
    TEAEs were defined as adverse events (AEs) with an onset following administration of the first dose of study drug. An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant, which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the study drug. Abnormalities presented at Baseline were considered AEs if they reoccurred after resolution or worsen during the AE collection period. An SAE was defined as any AE that, in the view of either the Investigator or Sponsor, resulted in any of the following outcomes as fatal, life-threatening, required hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, persistent or significant disability/incapacity, a congenital anomaly/birth defect, or an important medical event. A summary of all SAEs and Other AEs (nonserious) regardless of causality is located in the 'Adverse Events' Section.

  2. Number of Participants With at Least 1 Potentially Clinically Significant Clinical Safety Laboratory Abnormality [ Time Frame: Baseline up to Week 100 ]

    Clinical laboratory parameters that were evaluated included

    • Any Grade ≥2 (moderate) or serious event without an alternative etiology that the Investigator deemed was related to study drug
    • Two consecutive drug-related serum creatinine levels ≥2*upper limit of normal (ULN) without an alternative etiology
    • Creatine kinase (CK) levels >50,000 units/liter (U/L)
    • A confirmed, unexplained, increase in gamma glutamyl transferase (GGT) >3*ULN and either an increase in bilirubin >2*ULN or nascent prothrombin time >2*ULN concurrently, without an alternative etiology

  3. Number of Participants With at Least 1 Markedly Abnormal Vital Sign [ Time Frame: Baseline up to Week 100 ]
    The vital sign parameters that were evaluated included blood pressure, heart rate, respiration, and temperature. A summary of all SAEs and Other AEs (nonserious) regardless of causality is located in the 'Adverse Events' Section.

  4. Abnormal Changes From Baseline or Worsening of Physical Examination Findings [ Time Frame: Baseline up to Week 100 ]
    Data not collected during the study for this Outcome Measure. A summary of all SAEs and Other AEs (nonserious) regardless of causality is located in the 'Adverse Events' Section.

  5. Number of Participants With at Least 1 Markedly Abnormal Electrocardiogram (ECG) and Echocardiogram (ECHO) [ Time Frame: Weeks 8, 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96 ]
    The ECG was manually reviewed and interpreted by medically qualified personnel using a central vendor according to pre-specified criteria. The Investigator determined if the findings in the centrally read ECG report were clinically significant. Clinical significance was defined as any variation in ECG findings that had medical relevance resulting in an alteration in medical care. The ECHO was reviewed and interpreted by medically qualified personnel using a central vendor according to pre-specified criteria. The Investigator determined if the findings in the ECHO report were clinically significant. Clinical significance was defined as any variation in ECHO findings that had medical relevance resulting in an alteration in medical care. A summary of all SAEs and Other AEs (nonserious) regardless of causality is located in the 'Adverse Events' Section.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of Eteplirsen [ Time Frame: Pre-infusion, immediately prior to end of infusion, and approximately 1-3 hours and 6-8 hours after completion of infusion during Weeks 2 (2 mg/kg dose level), 6 (10 mg/kg dose level), 8 (20 mg/kg dose level), and 10 and 24 (30 mg/kg dose level) ]
  2. Time to Reach Maximum Plasma Concentration (Tmax) of Eteplirsen [ Time Frame: Pre-infusion, immediately prior to end of infusion, and approximately 1-3 hours and 6-8 hours after completion of infusion during Weeks 2 (2 mg/kg dose level), 6 (10 mg/kg dose level), 8 (20 mg/kg dose level), and 10 and 24 (30 mg/kg dose level) ]
  3. Area Under Concentration-Time Curve From Time 0 to the Last Quantifiable Concentration (AUClast) of Eteplirsen in Plasma [ Time Frame: Pre-infusion, immediately prior to end of infusion, and approximately 1-3 hours and 6-8 hours after completion of infusion during Weeks 2 (2 mg/kg dose level), 6 (10 mg/kg dose level), 8 (20 mg/kg dose level), and 10 and 24 (30 mg/kg dose level) ]
  4. Amount of Drug Eliminated in Urine [ Time Frame: Pre-infusion, immediately prior to end of infusion, and approximately 1-3 hours and 6-8 hours after completion of infusion during Weeks 2 (2 mg/kg dose level), 6 (10 mg/kg dose level), 8 (20 mg/kg dose level), and 10 and 24 (30 mg/kg dose level) ]
    Amount of unchanged drug excreted in urine from time 0 to 4 hours after completion of dosing is reported.
