This is a first-in-human/first-in-patient, multi-center, open-label, non-randomized, ascending dose, safety and tolerability study of a single intravenous infusion of PF-06939926 in ambulatory and non-ambulatory subjects with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Other objectives include measurement of dystrophin expression and distribution, and assessments of muscle strength, quality, and function.
A total of approximately 30 subjects will receive PF-06939926, and these will include both ambulatory and non-ambulatory subjects. In order to mitigate unanticipated risks to subject safety, enrollment will be staggered within and between two planned dose-levels and will include a formal review by an external data monitoring committee (E-DMC) prior to dose progression.

Experimental: PF-06939926 |
Genetic: PF-06939926
Recombinant adeno-associated virus, serotype 9 (AAV9) carrying a truncated human dystrophin gene (mini-dystrophin) under the control of a muscle-specific promoter. Subjects will receive a single intravenous infusion of one of 2 dose levels. |

- Incidence, severity and causal relationship of treatment-emergent adverse events [ Time Frame: through 5 years post-treatment ]
- Incidence and magnitude of abnormal laboratory findings [ Time Frame: through 5 years post-treatment ]
- Incidence and severity of abnormal and clinical relevant changes in physical and neurological examinations [ Time Frame: through 5 years post-treatment ]
- Incidence and severity of abnormal and clinical relevant changes in body weight [ Time Frame: through 5 years post-treatment ]
- Incidence and severity of abnormal and clinical relevant changes in vital signs [ Time Frame: through 5 years post-treatment ]
- Incidence and severity of abnormal and clinical relevant changes on electrocardiogram (ECG) [ Time Frame: through 5 years post-treatment ]
- Incidence and severity of abnormal and clinical relevant changes in body weight and vital signs [ Time Frame: through 5 years post-treatment ]
- Incidence and severity of abnormal and clinical relevant changes in cardiac MRI-measured left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) [ Time Frame: through 5 years post-treatment ]
- Incidence and severity of abnormal and clinical relevant changes in Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) [ Time Frame: through 5 years post-treatment ]
