Keywords
Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, DMD, Duchenne, Idebenone
Brief summary
The scientific aim of the present extension study is to monitor long-term safety and tolerability of idebenone in patients with DMD. Furthermore, the long-term effect on respiratory, cardiac and motor functions, and skeletal muscle strength/function will be assessed.
Interventions
Patients ≤ 45 kg: 450 mg/day (1 tablet 3 times a day) Patients \> 45 kg: 900 mg/day (2 tablets 3 times a day)

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Completion of study SNT-II-001 * Body weight ≥ 25 kg * Glucocorticosteroids and ACE-inhibitors are allowed, if on stable dosage within 2 months prior to inclusion * Eligibility to participate in the present extension study as confirmed by the investigator
Exclusion criteria
* Safety or tolerability issues arising during the course of SNT-II-001 which in the opinion of the investigator preclude further treatment with idebenone * Clinically significant abnormalities of haematology or biochemistry * Abuse of drugs or alcohol * Use of coenzyme Q10 or idebenone within 30 days prior to inclusion * Intake of any investigational drug within 30 days prior to inclusion * Symptomatic heart failure * Previous history of ventricular arrhythmias (other than isolated ventricular extrasystole); ventricular arrhythmias presented at baseline * Known individual hypersensitivity to idebenone or to any of the excipients
