This is a controlled, open-label, single-ascending dose study to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of SGT-001 in adolescents and children with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Patients will receive a single intravenous (IV) infusion of SGT-001 and will be followed for approximately 5 years.
The protocol was amended to drop the control arm after 4 subjects were dosed. Subjects currently enrolling are assigned to active treatment. Control subjects enrolled under original protocol will continue through the study per the original protocol.
