This is a multicenter, open-label, non-randomized study to investigate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of a single intravenous (IV) infusion of SGT-003 in participants with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. There will be 5 cohorts in this study. Cohort 1 will include participants 4 to \< 7 years of age. Cohort 2 will include participants 7 to \< 12 years of age. Cohort 3 will include participants 0 to \< 4 years of age. Cohort 4 will include participants 12 to \< 18 years of age. Cohort 5 will include participants 10 to \< 18 years of age. Initiation of participant enrollment in Cohorts 4 and 5 will be subject to the accrual of safety and efficacy data from Cohorts 1-3. All participants will receive SGT-003 and will be enrolled in the study for 5 total years for long-term follow up.
Phase 1 trials primarily test safety and dosing in a small number of participants (typically 20–100). Results do not yet speak to efficacy. FDA approval is typically many years away from this stage.
Phase 2 trials begin testing efficacy in a larger patient group (100–300). This is often where biotech binary events occur — positive Phase 2 data can significantly advance a company's pipeline narrative, while failures can be terminal for a program.
Currently recruiting: the trial is enrolling patients. A data readout is not expected until after enrollment closes and the follow-up period is complete.
Solid Biosciences (SLDB) is the sponsoring company for this trial. BiotechSign currently grades this company D (41/100) based on composite catalyst signals across its full pipeline. This trial is one data point in that overall catalyst picture.
