Inclusion criteria
. Subject's parent(s) or legal guardian(s) has (have) provided written informed consent and Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) authorization, where applicable, prior to any study-related procedures; participants will be asked to give written or verbal assent according to local requirements;
. Subject has a centrally confirmed (by TRiNDS central genetic counselor\[s\]) diagnosis of DMD, defined as:
. Dystrophin immunofluorescence and/or immunoblot showing complete dystrophin deficiency, and clinical picture consistent with typical DMD, OR
. Identifiable mutation within the DMD gene (deletion/duplication of one or more exons), where reading frame can be predicted as 'out-of-frame,' and clinical picture consistent with typical DMD, OR
. Complete dystrophin gene sequencing showing an alteration (point mutation, duplication, other) that is expected to preclude production of the dystrophin protein (i.e., nonsense mutation, deletion/duplication leading to a downstream stop codon), with a clinical picture consistent with typical DMD;
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.

Number of Participants With Adverse Events as Assessed by Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events Version 4.03 (CTCAE v4.03) Leading to Study Treatment Discontinuation
. Subject is male, 2 to \<4 years or 7 to \<18 years of age at time of enrollment in the study;
. If 7 to \<18 years of age and currently taking standard of care glucocorticoids for treatment of DMD, subject has been taking standard of care glucocorticoids at stable dose for at least 3 months prior to enrollment in the study, and will continue the same stable dose regimen through the date of the Baseline Day -1 Visit. \[Note: Inhaled and/or topical glucocorticoids are permitted if last use is at least 4 weeks prior to enrollment or if administered at stable dose beginning at least 4 weeks prior to enrollment and anticipated to be used at the stable dose regimen for the duration of the study\];
. If 7 to \<18 years of age, and not currently glucocorticoid-treated, subject has not received oral glucocorticoids or other oral immunosuppressive agents for at least 3 months prior to enrollment. \[Note: Inhaled and/or topical glucocorticoids are permitted if last use is at least 4 weeks prior to enrollment or if administered at stable dose beginning at least 4 weeks prior to enrollment and anticipated to be used at the stable dose regimen for the duration of the study\];
Exclusion criteria
. Subject has current or history of major renal or hepatic impairment, diabetes mellitus or immunosuppression;
. Subject has current or history of chronic systemic fungal or viral infections;
