Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of PF-06939926 for the Treatment of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

Phase 3
Active, not recruiting
Conditions
Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
Interventions
Other: Placebo
Genetic: PF-06939926
Registration Number
NCT04281485
Lead Sponsor
Pfizer
Brief Summary

The study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of gene therapy in boys with DMD. It is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study with two thirds of participants assigned to gene therapy. The one third of participants who are randomized to the placebo arm will have an opportunity for treatment with gene therapy at the beginning of the second year.

Detailed Description

The study will assess the efficacy of PF-06939926 gene therapy on ambulatory function while also monitoring its safety. Approximately 99 boys with DMD will be enrolled and randomly assigned to one of two groups: approximately two thirds will be in Cohort 1 and receive gene therapy at the start of the study; approximately one third will be in Cohort 2 and receive placebo at the start of the study and receive gene therapy after one year, as long as it remains safe to do so. The treatment (PF-06939926 gene therapy or placebo) will be given as an intravenous infusion lasting up to 2 hours.

The study includes boys who are at least 4 years old and less than 8 years old (including 7 year olds up until their 8th birthday). All boys will need to be on a daily dose of glucocorticoids (prednisone, prednisolone, or deflazacort) for at least 3 months prior to enrolling and to stay on daily glucocorticoids for the first 2 years of the study. All boys will need to be negative for neutralizing antibodies against AAV9, as measured by the test done for the study as part of screening.

The primary outcome of the study will be assessed at 52 weeks. All participants will be followed in the study for 15 years after treatment with gene therapy. Participants who received fordadistrogene movaparvovec in Pfizer studies C3391001 and C3391008 or are currently enrolled in Pfizer study C3391011 will be allowed to roll over into the long-term safety follow-up period of this study and will be considered Cohort 3.

The study medication, all medical tests associated with the study, and the visits to the study sites are free of charge. Participants will also be supported for travel costs associated with study visits.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change from Baseline in North Star Ambulatory Assessment (NSAA)Week 52

The NSAA is a 17-item test that measures gross motor function in children with Duchenne.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change from Baseline in the Modified Pediatric Outcomes Data Collection Instrument (PODCI): Transfer and Basic Mobility Core ScaleWeek 52

The PODCI contains a list of questions to assess how each caregiver/child evaluates the child´s ability to to walk, stand, and perform activities of daily living.

Change from Baseline in the 10-meter run/walk test velocityWeek 52

Velocity is calculated based on the time that it takes to complete the 10-meter run/walk test.

Change from Baseline in mini-dystrophin expression level in muscleWeek 52

Mini-dystrophin expression level from a muscle biopsy will be assessed by liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS).

Number of skills gained based on the individual items of the NSAA.Week 52

To count the skills that each child gained, based on the individual items of the NSAA.

Number of skills improved or maintained based on the individual items of the NSAAWeek 52

To count the skills that each child improved or maintained, based on the individual items of the NSAA.

Change from Baseline in distribution of mini-dystrophin expression in the muscleWeek 52

Mini-dystrophin distribution from a muscle biopsy will be assessed by immunofluorescence.

Change from Baseline in serum creatine kinase (CK)Week 52

Changes in the circulating levels of CK.

Change from Baseline in the rise from floor velocityWeek 52

Velocity is calculated based on the time that it takes to the rise from floor.

Change from Baseline in the Modified Pediatric Outcomes Data Collection Instrucment (PODCI): Sports and Physical Functioning Core ScaleWeek 52

The PODCI contains a list of questions to assess how each caregiver/child evaluates the child´s ability to perform recreational activities.
