Study summary

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.

Read the detailed description

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

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(13)

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.

Informed consent

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.

BMI (body mass index)

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.

Clinically significant

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.

Cancer (malignancy)

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.

ECG (electrocardiogram)

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.

QT and QTc

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.

Immunosuppression

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 tests

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 tests

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.

HIV

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.

ULN (upper limit of normal)

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.

ALT and AST (liver enzymes)

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.

Bilirubin

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.

    SAT-3247

    SAT-3247 is an oral tablet that is a potent, muscle penetrant, small molecule inhibitor of AAK1; inhibition of AAK1 rescues perturbed asymmetric division of satellite stem cells, resulting in increased muscle regeneration in animal models of DMD. In vitro and in vivo animal pharmacology studies have demonstrated the efficacy of SAT-3247 in improving muscle strength and the necessary target coverage to maximize functional muscle improvement. Part A: Participants will receive one oral dose of SAT-3247 in accord with cohort assignment (1) 10 mg, (2) 50 mg, (3) 150 mg, (4) 300 mg, (5) 400 mg Part B: Participants will receive one oral dose of SAT-3247 daily for seven days in accord with cohort assignment (1) 60 mg, (2) 120 mg, (3)180 mg, (4) 240 mg Part C: Participants will receive one oral dose of SAT-3247 150 mg, following completion of Part A at the same dose Part D: All participants will receive one SAT-3247 60 mg dose once daily for 5 consecutive days of each of 4 weeks

Of 28 phase 1 interventional studies under Muscular Dystrophy, Duchenne, half reached primary completion within 19 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 11 and three quarters within 35. This study's 8 months is below that.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on May 15, 2025, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
