Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: 1)Confirmation of out-of-frame deletion(s) that could be corrected by dystrophin gene exon 45 skipping. 2)Intact muscles of adequate quality for biopsy to allow evaluation of the efficacy of the study drug. 3)Boys aged from 5 years to <11 years. 4)Patients able to walk at least 325 meters in the 6-minutes walk test. 5)Glucocorticoid-naive patients, or patients who have used glucocorticoids for at least 6 months prior to enrollment in this study with no dose changes for at least 3 months prior to enrollment.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: 1)A genetic mutation that can not be expected the expression of dystrophin protein by dystrophin gene exon 45 skipping. 2)A concurrent illness other than DMD that can cause muscle weakness and/or impairment of motor function. 3)Current or history of severe disorder. 4)Left ventricular ejection fraction (LEVF) 0.45 sec.
