A study to assess the effect and safety of multiple subcutaneous doses of drisapersen in patients with Duchenne Disease

A phase I/II, open label, escalating dose, pilot study to assess the effect, safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of multiple subcutaneous doses of drisapersen in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy and to assess the potential for intravenous dosing as an alternative route of administration

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: Core study: To preliminarily assess the effect of PRO051 at different dose levels in patients with DMD. To assess the safety and tolerability of PRO051 at different dose levels in patients with DMD. To determine the pharmacokinetics of PRO051 at different dose levels after SC administration in patients with DMD. Administration of PRO051 beyond the core study period (SC administration): To assess the effect of PRO051 after SC administration at 6 mg/kg or capped at 300 mg in patients with DMD. To assess the safety and tolerability of PRO051 after SC at 6 mg/kg or capped at 300 mg in patients with DMD. To determine the pharmacokinetics of PRO051 after SC administration at 6 mg/kg in patients with DMD. Administration of PRO051 beyond the core study period (IV administration): IV dosing will be investigated as an alternative route of administration: Please refer to page no.25 of protocol.;Secondary Objective: To determine the pharmacokinetics of PRO051 at different dose levels after subcutaneous administration in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy.;Primary end point(s): Effect parameters • Dystrophin expression in muscle biopsy • Exon skip efficiency (RT-PCR on dystrophin mRNA from muscle biopsy and mononuclear blood cells) • Muscle function (timed tests and 6-minutes walk) • Muscle strength (QMT, MMT, handheld myometry, spirometry) Safety • Frequency and number of adverse events • Local tolerability • Complement activation (complement split products C3a, C5a, Bb) • Coagulation (aPTT) • Cytokines (IL-6, TNF-a) and chemokine (MCP-1) • Immune response to dystrophin (antibodies) • ECG, heart rate and blood pressure • Safety haematology and biochemistry parameters • Urinalysis;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: See Table 4-14 in protocol: schedule of assesments
