This is a phase I/II study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, efficacy, and pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of DS-5141b in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) amenable to exon 45 skipping and to determine the dosage for subsequent studies.

Drug DS-5141b

DS-5141b, Subcutaneous injection

DS-5141b Experimental

DS-5141b, Subcutaneous injection Part 1: DS-5141b will be injected subcutaneously once a week for 2 weeks at the following dose levels. Dose escalation will be performed. DS-5141b will be administered at dose levels 1 and 3 in Cohort 1 and at dose levels 2 and 4 in Cohort 2. Level 1: 0.1 mg/kg Level 2: 0.5 mg/kg Level 3: 2.0 mg/kg Level 4: 6.0 mg/kg Part 2: Two doses of DS-5141b will be selected based on the results obtained in Part 1. Each selected dose will be administered subcutaneously once a week for 12 weeks. Part 2-Extension: Two doses, 2.0 mg/kg or 6.0 mg/kg, of DS-5141b will be administered subcutaneously once a week for 48 weeks.

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

Confirmation of out-of-frame deletion(s) that could be corrected by dystrophin gene exon 45 skipping.

Boys aged from 5 years to <11 years.
Patients able to walk at least 325 meters in the 6-minutes walk test.
Glucocorticoid-naive patients, or patients who have used glucocorticoids for at least 6 months prior to enrollment in this study with no dose changes for at least 3 months prior to enrollment.

Exclusion Criteria:

A genetic mutation that can not be expected the expression of dystrophin protein by dystrophin gene exon 45 skipping.
A concurrent illness other than DMD that can cause muscle weakness and/or impairment of motor function.
Current or history of severe disorder.
