Brief summary

The primary purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of single intravenous (IV) doses of PGN-EDODM1 administered to participants with Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1 (DM1). The study consists of 2 periods: A Screening Period (up to 30 days) and a Treatment and Observation Period (16 weeks).
