Brief Summary

This is an 48-week open-label study to determine the efficacy and safety of AMONDYS 45, EXONDYS 51, VYONDYS 53 for the treatment of boys with duchenne muscular dystrophy who have a single exon duplication of either exon 45, 51 or 53, respectively. There will be weekly infusions and two muscle biopsies at baseline and at month 12.

Detailed Description

DMD is a rare, serious, debilitating, and ultimately fatal, disease for which there is an urgent need to develop safe and effective therapies. In order to efficiently meet this urgency and the needs of the subject community, the study evaluates the efficacy and safety of AMONDYS 45, EXONDYS 51, VYONDYS 53 administration over approximately 1 year in DMD subjects with duplication mutations amenable to treatment by exon 45, 51 or exon 53 skipping. Skipping of a single copy of the duplicated exon is expected to result in a wild-type (WT) DMD transcript allowing the expression of a WT, full length dystrophin protein. Successful skipping of a single copy of the duplicated exon in in vitro and in vivo models has been reported in the literature. AMONDYS 45, EXONDYS 51, VYONDYS 53 have the potential to be disease-modifying treatments for boys with DMD mutations amenable to exon 45, 51 and exon 53 skipping, respectively.

The totality of the non-clinical data with these PMOs as well as AVI-4225 (targeting exon 23) and EXONDYS 51 suggests that PMOs are well tolerated in the non-clinical setting. Moreover, treatment with EXONDYS 51(at 30 mg/kg and 50 mg/kg) has been well-tolerated by boys with DMD deletion mutations amenable to skipping exon 51. The relatively low expected risk for subjects exposed to AMONDYS 45, EXONDYS 51, VYONDYS 53 and the urgent medical need for a treatment for this subject population support the conclusion that the potential benefits of exposing subjects to AMONDYS 45, EXONDYS 51, VYONDYS 53 outweigh the potential risks.

Recruitment & Eligibility

Status
COMPLETED
Sex
Male
Target Recruitment
3
Inclusion Criteria
  • Is a male with DMD and has an out-of-frame duplication of either exon 45, 51, or 53, with a normal copy number of all other DMD exons.
  • Is above age 6 months of age.
  • Has sufficient muscle mass in a pair of bilateral muscles that will allow for pre- and post-treatment muscle biopsies per PI discretion.
  • If the subject is ambulant and 4 years old or greater and has been on a stable dose or dose equivalent of oral corticosteroids for at least 12 weeks prior to Week 1 the dose is expected to remain constant (except for modifications to accommodate changes in weight) throughout the study.
Exclusion Criteria
  • Any additional missing exon for DMD that cannot be treated with study drugs.

AMONDYS 45Amondys 45This arm will involve the treatment of boys with DMD who have a duplication of exon 45, for which AMONDYS 45 will target skipping of this exon.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Monitoring for the Development of Unacceptable Toxicity.1 year

This will be measured by capturing and reviewing Adverse Events as defined by CTCAE v4.0.

Change in Dystrophin Expression From Baseline Following Treatment With Either AMONDYS 45 (Previously Casimersen), EXONDYS 51 (Previously Eteplirsen ), or VYONDYS 53 (Previously Golodirsen)Baseline, 1 year

This will be assessed by the comparison of quantification of protein in muscle biopsy tissue by western blot from baseline to 1 year post-initiation of treatment.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in Dystrophin Expression From Baseline Following Treatment With Either AMONDYS 45 (Previously Casimersen), EXONDYS 51 (Previously Eteplirsen ), or VYONDYS 53 (Previously Golodirsen).1 year

This will be assessed by the comparison of immunofluorescent staining in muscle biopsy tissue from baseline to 1 year post-initiation of treatment.
