This is a study of the investigational medicine ENTR-601-44 in participants who have Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), a rare genetic condition.  The researchers want to: Test how safe ENTR-601-44 is, learn about any side effects, and look at the potential positive effects of ENTR-601-44, compared to placebo. Placebo looks like the investigational medicine but does not contain any active ingredient. In this summary ENTR-601-44 and placebo are both called study treatments.

The study has 2 parts: Part A: to evaluate if ENTR-601-44 is safe and to determine the best dose of ENTR-601-44 for Part B. Part B: to further evaluate the effect and safety of ENTR-601-44 at the dose determined in Part A. Participants will:

  • Receive study treatment in the form of an intravenous (IV) infusion (slow injection) into a vein for several weeks
  • Visit the clinic regularly for checkups and tests such as: blood and urine tests, physical examinations working, questionnaires, muscle biopsies and exercise tests

Participants are allowed to continue receiving their standard of care therapy for DMD during the study, as long as their health remains stable.

Participants may be eligible to enter an open label extension study (OLE). An open label extension study allows participants to continue receiving the study drug, which helps researchers better understand the safety, tolerability and efficacy of ENTR-601-44 over a longer period of time. All participants in the open label extension will receive ENTR-601-44.

 
Primary Outcome Measures

  • Overall safety and tolerability of ENTR-601-44

 
Secondary Outcome Measures

  • To see how safe ENTR-601-44 is compared to placebo
  • To look at what ENTR-601-44 does to the body (pharmacodynamics).
  • To look at how the body interacts with ENTR-601-44 (pharmacokinetics).
  • Determine the optimal dose for further study in Part B. Additional details on Part B will become available as we approach its expected start.

  • Laboratory abnormalities.
  • Daytime ventilator dependence or any use of invasive mechanical ventilation via tracheostomy.
  • Has an abnormal electrocardiogram (ECG) reading assessed as clinically significant by the investigator, and/or a QT interval with Fridericia correction method (QTcF) >450 msec at Screening or prior to the first dose of study drug on Day 1.
  • Received any experimental or investigational drug, etc. within 3 months prior to first dose or within 5 half-lives (whichever is longer).

Other protocol-defined criteria apply.
