Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacodynamic, Efficacy, and Pharmacokinetic Study of DYNE-251 in Participants With Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Amenable to Exon 51 Skipping
United States, Australia, Belgium86 participantsStarted 2022-08-12
Plain-language summary
The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and dystrophin protein levels in muscle tissue following multiple intravenous (IV) doses of DYNE-251 in participants with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) amenable to exon 51 skipping.
The study consists of 3 periods: a multiple-ascending dose (MAD) / placebo-controlled period (24 weeks), an open-label period (24 weeks) and a long-term extension (LTE) period (288 weeks).

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Age 4 to 16 years inclusive, at the time of informed consent/assent.
* Male with a confirmed diagnosis of DMD and with a mutation in the dystrophin gene characterized by exon deletion amenable to exon 51 skipping.
* Upper extremity muscle group that is amenable to muscle biopsy.
* Brooke Upper Extremity Scale score of 1 or 2.
* Ambulatory or non-ambulatory. A non-ambulatory participant must have been non-ambulatory for \<2 years before enrollment.
* Receiving a stable dosage of glucocorticoids for at least 12 weeks prior to the start of study drug administration, with the expectation of maintaining a stable dose during the Placebo-Controlled and Open-Label Periods of the study (unless dose adjustment is required by weight change).
* Left ventricular ejection fraction of ≥50% by echocardiogram or ≥55% by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Exclusion Criteria:
* Uncontrolled clinical symptoms and signs of congestive heart failure (CHF).
* Any change in prophylaxis/treatment for CHF within 3 months prior to the start of study treatment.
* History of major surgical procedure within 12 weeks prior to the start of study drug administration or an expectation of a major surgical procedure during the study.
* Requirement of daytime ventilator assistance.
* Percent predicted FVC \<40 % (applies only for participants who are age ≥7 years).
* Receipt of eteplirsen, or alternative exon-skipping/dystrophin-modifying therapy, within 12 weeks of randomization.

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.
