Brief summary
This Phase IIb study is a two part, multicenter study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of ATL1102 in non-ambulant boys with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy aged 10 to \<18 years old. The study includes a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled treatment period (Part A), followed by an open labelled treatment period (Part B).
Detailed description
This Phase IIb study is a two part, multicenter study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of ATL1102 and will enroll 45 non-ambulant boys with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) aged 10 to \<18 years old. During the 24 week randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled treatment period (Part A) participants will be enrolled and randomised to receive either ATL1102 25mg, ATL1102 50mg or matched placebo in a 1:1:1 ratio given as a weekly subcutaneous injection. Participants will then continue to the 24 week Open Labelled Treatment Period (Part B) and continue to receive ATL1102 25mg or ATL1102 50mg for a further 24 weeks. Participants on placebo in Part A will transition to ATL1102. The study will consist of a 4 week screening period, 24 week randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled treatment period (Part A), 24 week open label treatment period (Part B) and 16 week follow up period.

Key
Exclusion criteria
* Participation in another clinical trial (non-interventional) or administration of any investigational product or experimental product within 12 weeks or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) preceding Day 1. * Exposure to more than 3 investigational products within the 12 months prior to Day 1. * History of clinically significant bleeding or coagulation abnormalities or clinically significant abnormal coagulation parameters. * Currently receiving antiplatelet or anticoagulant therapy or has taken medication with an antiplatelet or anticoagulant effect within 4 weeks prior Day 1 * Any evidence of clinically significant structural or functional heart abnormality (cardiomyopathy that is managed by ACEi or beta blockers is acceptable provided the LVEF inclusion criterion is met). * Known history of or a positive test for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), hepatitis C (HCV) antibodies, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibodies at Screening. * Evidence of renal impairment and/or cystatin C \>1.4 mg/L. * Received a live vaccine (including intranasal influenza vaccine) within 4 weeks prior to Day 1 or planned live vaccination during the study period. * Asthma (if requiring regular medication), bronchitis/chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), bronchiectasis, emphysema, pneumonia or the presence of any non-DMD respiratory illness that affects PEF and FVC or other respiratory measures. * Requires day-time assisted mechanical or non-invasive ventilation (NIV) (night time NIV is permitted). * Chronic use (daily intake \>14 days), within one month of Day 1, of beta-2 agonists or any use of other bronchodilating medication (e.g., inhaled steroids, sympathomimetics, anticholinergics). * Used carnitine, creatine, glutamine, oxatomide, idebenone or other forms of coenzyme Q10 or vitamin E or any other nutritional or antioxidant supplements or herbal medicines or anabolic steroids other than standard corticosteroids or puberty testosterone supplementation within 4 weeks of Day 1. * Has an increased risk for opportunistic infections or systemic medical conditions resulting in significantly compromised immune system function
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Safety measured by the incidence and frequency of adverse events, serious adverse events and suspected unexpected adverse events from baseline to Week 65 | 65 weeks | An Adverse Event is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant and does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with the intervention. |
| Change in the Performance of Upper Limb (PUL) 2.0 score from baseline to Week 25 (blinded treatment period). | 25 weeks | The PUL is an assessment used to evaluate the upper limb strength for individuals with DMD where a higher score indicates a better outcome with a minimum of 0 and a maximum score of 42 |
