About this trial
Phase 2a trial of SAT-3247 in ambulatory DMD patients aged ≥ 7 and \< 10 years. The trial will study two doses of SAT-3247 in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled weekday regimen for 12 weeks to determine the optimal dose, safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Has a definitive diagnosis of DMD based on documented clinical findings and prior genetic testing with a confirmed mutation in the DMD gene.
Male DMD patients who are ambulatory and aged ≥ 7 to < 10 years at the time of screening.
Stable dose of systemic glucocorticoids (i.e., prednisolone, deflazacort, or vamorolone) according to the standard of care for ≥ 3 months prior to the Screening Visit and for the duration of the trial. Patients who are not receiving glucocorticosteroids are also eligible if stopped ≥ 3 months prior to the Screening Visit.
Stable doses of prescription medicines including ACE inhibitors, β-blockers, and diuretics (excluding glucocorticosteroids) and over-the-counter medicines and/or herbal supplements for supportive care ≥ 1 month prior to the Screening Visit and for the duration of the trial.
Disqualifiers
Ambulatory patients expected to experience loss of ambulation within ≤ 12 months.
Participants for whom MRI or open muscle biopsy are contraindicated.
Evidence of significant hepatic dysfunction, defined as GLDH > 2X upper limit of normal (ULN) at the Screening Visit.
Impaired cardiac function defined as a left ventricular ejection fraction of < 50% on screening cardiac assessments (echocardiogram or MRI) or evidence of symptomatic cardiomyopathy.

Treatments tested in this trial
SAT-3247
DrugSAT-3247 is a selective AAK1 inhibitor for oral tablet administration which promotes functional rescue of asymmetric satellite cell division, resulting in the robust production of muscle progenitor cells, subsequent improvement in muscle regeneration, and enhanced muscle function.
