Brief Summary:

This is a Phase 2, open-label, single arm trial of pamrevlumab (FG-3019) to estimate pamrevlumab's safety and efficacy in non-ambulatory subjects with DMD.

Condition or disease	Intervention/treatment	Phase
Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy	Drug: pamrevlumab (FG-3019)	Phase 2

Detailed Description:

Each subject will receive pamrevlumab (35 mg/kg) every two weeks by intravenous infusion for up to 156 weeks. After at least 10 to 12 subjects complete one year of treatment interim analysis may increase total subjects enrolled to approximately 32. All subjects will be closely monitored for safety. Efficacy assessments will be performed routinely over the course of the study.

• On a stable dose of corticosteroids for a minimum of 6 months prior to screening with no substantial change in dosage for a minimum of 3 months (except for adjustments for changes in body weight) prior to screening and no foreseen change in corticosteroid use during the course of study participation
• Received pneumococcal vaccine and is receiving annual influenza vaccinations

Exclusion Criteria:

• Requires ≥16 hours continuous ventilation
