Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy | Drug: EDG-5506 Dose 1 Drug: EDG-5506 Dose 2 Drug: EDG-5506 Dose 3 Drug: Placebo | Phase 2 |
This is a 2-part, multi-center, Phase 2 study to evaluate the effect of EDG-5506 on safety, pharmacokinetics and biomarkers of muscle damage in approximately 27 children with DMD treated with oral, once-daily EDG-5506 for 12 months. This study will have up to a 4-week Screening period, a 12-week randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled treatment period (Part A), a 40-week open-label extension period (Part B), and a 2-week follow up period.
Twenty-seven (27) participants aged 4 to 9 years inclusive will be randomized to EDG-5506 or placebo in a 2:1 ratio. Three dose cohorts will be enrolled sequentially. Within each cohort, randomization will be stratified by age at screening (< 7.0 or ≥ 7.0 years old).

Ages Eligible for Study: | 4 Years to 9 Years (Child) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | Male |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- Aged 4 to 9 years with a documented mutation on the DMD gene and phenotype consistent with Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
- Able to complete stand from supine in ≤ 10 seconds at the Screening and Baseline visits and able to perform the 4-stair climb in < 10 seconds at the Screening and Baseline visits.
- Body weight greater than or equal to 15 kg and less than 35 kg at the Screening visit and Body Mass index (BMI) between 5th and 95th percentile (CDC 2000) for age.
- Treatment with a stable dose of corticosteroids for a minimum of 6 months prior to the Baseline visit.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Medical history or clinically significant physical exam/laboratory result that, in the opinion of the investigator, would render the participant unsuitable for the study. This includes venous access that would be too difficult to facilitate repeated blood sampling.
- A forced vital capacity < 60% predicted at the Screening visit
- A cardiac echocardiography showing left ventricular ejection < 45% at the Screening visit
- Receipt of an investigational drug within 30 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) of the Screening visit in the present study. Any previous dystrophin targeted therapies require a 6 month washout prior to the Screening visit.
- Receipt of a stable dose of an approved exon-skipping therapy with a treatment duration of less than 1 year prior to the Screening visit.
