About the drug or intervention
SAT-3247 — drug: SAT-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. · Placebo — drug: matching placebo oral tablets

In plain English

This Phase 2 study is testing a medicine called SAT-3247 in boys with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) who can still walk. It is run by Satellos Bioscience, Inc. The aim, number of participants and where it takes place are not stated — ask the trial team.

Who can take part

  • Boys aged 7 to under 10 who can still walk
  • A confirmed diagnosis of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) based on clinical findings and genetic testing showing a change in the DMD gene
  • Taking a steady dose of steroid medicine (prednisolone, deflazacort or vamorolone) for at least 3 months before screening, or having stopped steroids at least 3 months before
  • Stable doses of other medicines, including heart and blood pressure medicines, for at least 1 month before screening
  • Some children who have had certain other DMD treatments before may be able to join, including Elevidys (if given more than 18 months ago), exon-skipping medicines (if given more than 6 months ago), or Duvyzat (if taken steadily for at least 18 months, or stopped at least 30 days before screening)
  • If doing physiotherapy or strength training, this must have been unchanged for at least 2 months before screening

Who may not be able to

  • Children expected to lose the ability to walk within 12 months
  • Children who cannot have an MRI scan or a muscle biopsy
  • Signs of serious liver problems found in screening blood tests
  • Heart problems, including a heart pumping measurement below 50% or symptoms of heart muscle disease
  • Breathing test results below 60% of the expected level
  • Taking part in another treatment trial or follow-up study
  • Drinking grapefruit juice or eating grapefruit products
  • Severe behavioural or learning difficulties that would make taking part too difficult, in the researcher's view

What taking part involves

About This Trial

Phase 2a trial of SAT-3247 in ambulatory DMD patients aged ≥ 7 and \< 10 years. The trial has two parts. In Part 1, 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. In Part 2, the trial will study two doses of SAT-3247 for an additional 9 months.

More detail

This is a global phase 2a trial of SAT-3247 in ambulatory DMD patients aged ≥ 7 and \< 10 years. The trial has two parts. In Part 1, 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. In Part 2, the trial will study two doses of SAT-3247 for an additional 9 months. One dose of SAT-3247 and placebo will be studied in the US and Canada; two doses of SAT-3247 and placebo will be studied in UK, EU, Serbia, and Australia. Enrollment of up to 51 ambulatory DMD participants aged ≥ 7 and \< 10 years of age is planned globally. Randomization will be stratified by baseline corticosteroid regimen and prior DMD concomitant medications. In Part 1, each participant will receive once daily doses of SAT-3247 or matched placebo for 12 weeks. In Part 2, each participant will receive a once daily dose of SAT-3247 for an additional 9 months. Participants will be screened within 28 days before initiating dosing of investigational product at Baseline. Following the Screening period, participants will complete a Baseline visit (Visit 2), a follow-up phone call at Week 1, and visits at Week 4 (Visit 3), Week 8 (Visit 4), Week 12 (Visit 5), Week 24 (Visit 6), Week 36 (Visit 7) and Week 48 (Visit 8).

Key Inclusion Criteria: * 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. * Participants that have previously received delandistrogene moxeparvovec (brand name Elevidys) either in a prior clinical trial or in the commercial setting \> 18 months prior to screening whose muscle function tests have stabilized or demonstrated decline ≥ 3 months prior to Screening, as determined by investigator and documented in chart notes, will be eligible. * Participants that have previously received an exon skipper \> 6 months prior to Screening whose muscle function tests have stabilized or demonstrated decline ≥ 3 months prior to Screening, as determined by investigator and documented in chart notes, will be eligible. * Participants receiving a stable dose of givinostat (brand name Duvyzat) for at least 18 months or longer prior to the Screening Visit will be eligible. Participants unable to tolerate givinostat who discontinued treatment before 18 months are eligible to enroll if date of last dose is ≥ 30 days from the Screening date. Givinostat should not be discontinued, if tolerated, to meet study entry criteria. * Participants that have received prior treatment with an investigational gene therapy product (other than delandistrogene moxeparvovec) ≥ 24 months prior to the Screening Visit. * If participating in a physical therapy/strength training regimen, must be stable for ≥ 2 months prior to the Screening Visit and for the duration of the trial. Key Exclusion Criteria: * 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. * A forced vital capacity \< 60% predicted at the Screening Visit. * Ongoing participation in any other therapeutic clinical trial or follow-up study for a therapeutic intervention * Consumption of grapefruit juice or grapefruit containing products * Severe behavioural or cognitive problems that preclude participation in the study, in the opinion of the investigator. Additional entry criteria will be reviewed with the clinical site investigator.
