Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: 1. Male aged 6 to 15, inclusive. 2. For treated patients (all patients in Part 1 + 12 additional treated patients in Part 2), established clinical diagnosis of DMD amenable to exon 53 skipping (e.g. deletions of exons such as 42-52, 45-52, 47-52, 48-52, 49-52, 50-52, 52, or 54-58) as documented by a genetic report from an accredited laboratory confirming deletion endpoints by multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) or sequencing. 3. For Part 2 untreated control patients, established clinical diagnosis of DMD with confirmed genomic deletion of exon(s) not amenable to exon 53 skipping as documented by an accredited laboratory and genomic methodology. 4. Have intact right and left biceps muscles or an alternative upper arm muscle group. 5. Have stable cardiac and pulmonary function that, in the Investigator’s opinion, is unlikely to decompensate over the duration of the study. 6. Achieve a mean distance of two separate assessments on two consecutive days at screening and again at baseline (prior to investigational drug product administration) =250 meters on the 6MWT with the two means being ±15% of each other. (Personal assistance or use of any assistive devices for ambulation is not permitted during the 6MWT.) 7. Patients must meet one of the following two criteria: • NSAA (North Star Ambulatory Assessment) total score >17; or • Rise (Gowers) time =65 years) no F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: 1. Use of any pharmacologic treatment, other than corticosteroids, that might have an effect on muscle strength or function within 12 weeks prior to study entry (e.g., growth hormone, anabolic steroids). 2. Previous treatment with the experimental agents BMN-195 (SMT C1100) or PRO053. 3. Previous or current treatment with any other experimental treatments within 12 weeks prior to study entry or participation in any other clinical trial within 6 months prior to study entry. 4. Have a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of 450 msec. 5. Have a forced vital capacity [FVC] 10 degrees plantar flexion from plantagrade assuming normal range of dorsiflexion of 20 degrees). 10. Change in contracture treatment such as serial casting, contracture control devices, night splints, stretching exercises (passive, active, self) within 3 months prior to enrollment, or expected need for such intervention during the study. 11. Prior or ongoing medical condition that, in the Investigator’s opinion, could interfere with the patient’s participation in the study.
