A Study to Evaluate the Safety and Tolerability of RAG-18 in Pediatric Patients With Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

Korábbi kezelés

• Prior treatment for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD), regardless of whether the drug is marketed or not.
• History of medical conditions affecting liver function, with abnormal indicators within 28 days prior to the first dose.
• Receipt of a live (attenuated) vaccine within 28 days prior to the first dose of the study drug.
• Use of any other investigational drug, whether for DMD or not, from 28 days prior to the first dose of the study drug until the end of the study.
• Presence of a severe concomitant condition or disease that, in the investigator's opinion, would place the participant at undue risk or interfere with the study, including but not limited to: known moderate or severe persistent asthma, a history of asthma in the past 2 years, or currently uncontrolled asthma of any classification (Note: participants with currently controlled intermittent asthma or controlled mild persistent asthma are permitted to enroll); requirement for oxygen therapy to maintain adequate blood oxygen saturation; history of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) within 6 months prior to signing the Informed Consent Form (ICF).

Más betegség

• Presence of severe cardiac, renal, or respiratory dysfunction, or other severe complications.
• Allergy to the study drug or any of its components, or to Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) contrast agents.
• Any reason that, in the investigator's opinion, would prevent the participant from fully participating in and completing the study, including inability to comply with study procedures or treatment, and other relevant medical or mental health conditions.
• Participant has an unstable systemic disease as judged by the investigator, including but not limited to severe hepatic, renal, respiratory, or metabolic diseases requiring medication.

Laborértékek

• Cardiac function at screening within the following ranges:
  • Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF) < 55% as measured by Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (CMR).
  • QT interval corrected using Fridericia's formula (QTcF) > 450 ms at screening, or has additional risk factors for Torsades de Pointes.
• Hematology and electrolyte parameters at screening within the following ranges:
  • Platelets < 100,000/μL.
  • Hemoglobin < 12 g/dL.
  • Absolute Neutrophil Count < 1500/μL.
  • Any serum calcium, potassium, sodium, magnesium, or phosphorus levels outside the clinically acceptable range for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) patients.
  • International Normalized Ratio (INR), Prothrombin Time (PT), Partial Thromboplastin Time (PTT), Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (aPTT), or Fibrinogen outside the normal range.

• Aged 4-15 years old.
• Male patient with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD), able to provide a written diagnosis from a specialist and a verifiable genetic test report.
• Able to undergo examinations required by the study protocol, such as muscle biopsy, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), and tests for motor and pulmonary function.
• Any disease-related concomitant medications must be in compliance with the study's requirements.
