Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 5 to 18 years
  • Men only
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult

Who may be able to join

  • Duchenne muscular dystrophy resulting from a mutation correctable by treatment with PRO045 confirmed by a state-of-the-art DNA diagnostic technique covering all DMD gene exons, including but not limited to MLPA (Multiplex Ligation-dependent Probe Amplification), CGH (Comparative Genomic Hybridisation), SCAIP (Single Condition Amplification/Internal Primer) or HRMCA (High-Resolution Melting Curve Analysis), and correctable by PRO045-induced DMD exon 45 skipping in cultured skin-derived myo-converted fibroblasts.
  • Ambulant boys aged at least 5 years on the day of first dosing able to walk for at least 230 meters in the 6 minute walking distance (6MWD) test at first screening visit and also at the baseline visit. In addition, 2 of the 3 pre-treatment 6MWD tests (screen 1, screen 2, baseline) must be within +/-30 metres of each other prior to first PRO045 administration.
  • Adequate quality for biopsy (confirmed with MRI) of the lateral head of the gastrocnemius muscle. An alternative muscle may be considered for biopsy but only following discussion between the Principal Investigator and the Prosensa Medical Monitor.
  • Life expectancy of at least 3 years after inclusion in the study.
  • Glucocorticosteroid use which is stable for at least 3 months prior to first PRO045 administration. Subjects must have been receiving glucocorticosteroids for at least 6 months prior to the first PRO045 administration.
  • Willing and able to adhere to the study visit schedule and other protocol requirements.
  • Written informed consent signed (by parent(s)/legal guardian and/or the subject, according to the local regulations).
  • In France, a subject will be eligible for inclusion in this study only if either affiliated to, or a beneficiary of, a social security category.

Who cannot join

  • Known presence of dystrophin in ≥5% of fibres in a pre-study diagnostic muscle biopsy (i.e. historic muscle biopsy taken prior to written informed consent for this study).
  • Current or history of liver disease or impairment.
  • Current or history of renal disease or impairment.
  • At least two aPTT above ULN within the last month.
  • Screening platelet count below the lower limit of normal (LLN).
  • Acute illness within 4 weeks prior to first dose of PRO045 which may interfere with the study assessments.
Show all 13Show fewer
  • Severe mental retardation or behavioural problems which in the opinion of the investigator prohibits participation in this study.
  • Severe cardiomyopathy which in the opinion of the investigator prohibits participation in this study. If a subject has a left ventricular ejection fraction <45% at screening, the investigator should discuss inclusion of the subject with the Medical Monitor.
  • Expected need for daytime mechanical ventilation within the next year.
  • Use of anticoagulants, antithrombotics or antiplatelet agents.
  • Use of idebenone or other forms of coenzyme Q10 within 1 month prior to the start of the screening for the study.
  • Use of nutritional or herbal supplements which, in the opinion of the investigator, may influence muscle performance, within 1 month of the study.
  • Use of any other investigational product or participation in another trial with an investigational product, within 6 months prior to the start of the screening for the study.

About this study

Official title: A Phase IIb, Open-label Study to Assess the Efficacy, Safety, Pharmacodynamics and Pharmacokinetics of Multiple Subcutaneous Doses of PRO045 in Subjects With Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing PRO045, 0.15 mg/kg/week, PRO045, 1.0 mg/kg/week and PRO045, 3.0 mg/kg/week in people with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, run by BioMarin Pharmaceutical at 6 sites in 5 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 13 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Dec 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites in United Kingdom, Belgium, France, Italy, Netherlands. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early. Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change from baseline in 6 minute walk test (time frame: after 48 weeks of treatment phase). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 8 Dec 2017.
