This is a first-in-human (FIH), Phase 1 study of orally administered SAT-3247 in healthy adult volunteers (HVs) and adult participants with DMD to determine safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics.
This is a first-in-human (FIH), Phase 1 study of orally administered SAT-3247 in healthy volunteers (HVs) and adult participants with DMD. The study will be conducted in 4 parts.
Part A is a Single Ascending Dose (SAD) part that will enroll approximately 40 HVs in up to 5 dose cohorts. Each participant will receive a single oral dose of SAT 3247 or matched placebo on Day 1; each cohort will receive a higher dose than the prior cohort. Part B is a Multiple Ascending Dose (MAD) part that will enroll approximately 32 HVs in up to 4 sequential dose cohorts. Each participant will receive a daily oral dose of SAT-3247 or matched placebo on Day 1 to Day 7 each cohort will receive a higher dose than the prior cohort. Part C will assess the effect of food on the PK of SAT-3247 in a fixed sequence, crossover design. The dose to be tested will be determined by the Safety Review Committee (SRC) following review of safety, tolerability, and available PK and PD data from Part A. Approximately 8 healthy participants who completed Part A at the anticipated dose level (in a fasted state) will crossover into a subsequent fed cohort and receive a single dose of the same randomized IP at the same dose level that they received in Part A but, following a high fat meal. Part D is a open-label Multiple Dose cohort that will comprise 10 adult males with genetically confirmed DMD. Each participant will receive SAT-3247 once daily for 5 consecutive days of each of 4 weeks
Parts A-C enroll healthy volunteers; only entry criteria for Part D are described below.

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
Weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. Example: 70 kg and 1.75 m gives 70 ÷ (1.75 × 1.75) ≈ 22.9.
What counts as overweight or obesity differs between countries (some use lower cut-offs), so go by the range the study states.
Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.
Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.
Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.
A recording of the heart’s electrical activity, taken with stickers on the chest, arms and legs. It takes a few minutes and does not hurt.
On an ECG, the QT interval is the time the heart’s lower chambers take to activate electrically and recover in each beat. QTc is that time adjusted for heart rate (QTcF by Fridericia’s formula, QTcB by Bazett’s). Some medicines lengthen it, and a long QTc can raise the risk of a dangerous heart rhythm.
The study may name a correction formula and a limit in milliseconds, often around 450–480.
A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.
Read whether the line is about a condition or about medicines, and which medicines and doses it means.
Hepatitis C is a virus that infects the liver. An HCV antibody test can stay positive after an infection has cleared (and is occasionally positive without one); an HCV RNA test shows whether the virus is there now.
After treatment, hepatitis C counts as cured when HCV RNA is still undetectable 12 weeks or more after the treatment ended. Studies often accept people cured this way.
Hepatitis B is a virus that infects the liver. These are separate tests: HBsAg positive usually means a current infection (a recent vaccination can briefly cause it too); total anti-HBc (HBcAb) positive means an infection now or in the past; HBV DNA measures how much virus is in the blood.
Some studies accept a past infection if HBV DNA is undetectable, sometimes with antiviral medicine during the study. Check what this study allows.
The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.
Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.
The top of the normal range for a blood test, as set by the laboratory that runs it. Each lab prints its own range next to your result.
“≤ 2.5 × ULN” means the result can be up to two and a half times that top value.
Two enzymes measured in a routine blood test of the liver. Higher levels can mean the liver is under strain or damaged. SGPT and SGOT are older names for ALT and AST.
Criteria usually give a limit as a multiple of the upper limit of normal (ULN), often higher when cancer has spread to the liver.
A yellow substance made when red blood cells are broken down, which the liver clears. A high level can mean a problem with the liver or the bile ducts.
Criteria often allow more for people with Gilbert’s syndrome, a harmless inherited condition that raises bilirubin.
