A 2-part Phase 2 Study of Safety, Pharmacokinetics and Biomarkers in Children with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy including a Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Part A, Followed by an Open-Label Part B

To assess the safety and tolerability of EDG-5506 in children with DMD


Why this Research Matters

This is a 2-part multi-center, Phase 2 study to evaluate the effect of EDG-5506 on safety, PK and biomarkers of muscle damage in approximately 27 children with DMD treated with oral, once daily EDG-5506 for 12 months. Part A will include a 12-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled dose-ranging study period followed by Part B, a 40-week open-label extension.
