Study summary

This is a Phase 2 open-label extension (OLE) study to evaluate the long-term safety, tolerability, efficacy, pharmacokinetics, and the pharmacodynamics (PD) through potential exploratory biomarker(s) of intravenous (IV) WVE-N531 in patients with DMD who participated in another study of WVE-N531. All patients will have rolled over from a previous study of WVE-N531.

Read the detailed description

The study will include up to 175 patients from planned and ongoing WVE-N531 studies globally. All patients will continue to receive 10 mg/kg WVE-N531 IV every 4 weeks (Q4W), through Week 96. Safety monitoring will continue for approximately 11 months after the final dose. The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of WVE-N531.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  1. Participated in a prior study of WVE-N531 and has not experienced any significant toxicities due to WVE-N531 or significant clinical deterioration of general health since the last dose or early discontinuation visit.
  2. Of note: if there will be a greater than 31-day gap between the last dose on the prior study and the FD on this study, the case should be discussed between the Investigator and Medical Monitor.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Any medical finding or change during or following participation in the prior WVE-N531 study, other than DMD that, in the judgment of the Investigator, would affect the potential safety of the patient to receive WVE-N531 or interfere with participation in the study.
  2. Any recreational substance use (including prescribed cannabinoids), with the exception of alcohol and nicotine, irrespective of legality, within 2 months prior to FD and/or unwilling to refrain from such use for the duration of the study.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of participants with treatment related adverse events as assessed by the following parameters:

    * Complete Physical examination, including height and weight * Vital Signs (via blood pressure, temperature and pulse) * Safety Laboratory Tests (including complete blood cell count, urinalysis and clinical chemistry) * ECG (12- Lead single tracing) * ECHO (including left ventricular ejection fraction) * Pulmonary Function Tests (including Peak Flow Rate, Cough Peak Flow, Forced Vital Capacity and Maximum Inspiratory Pressure)

    Time frame: Time Frame: Week 0 through Week 96

Secondary outcomes

  1. North Star Ambulatory Assessment (NSAA) (Version 2.0) composite score, each item assessed using a 3 point scale, including:

    * Time to stand (measured in seconds ) * Timed 10-meter walk/run (measured in seconds) * Four-stair climb time (measured in time to climb 4 stairs in seconds)

    Time frame: At baseline Week 0 through Week 96

  2. Performance of the Upper Limb (PUL) (Version 2.0) (measured by total score and score of high level shoulder dimension, Mid-level Elbow Dimension, Distal Wrist and Hand Dimension)

    Time frame: At baseline Week 0 through Week 96

  3. Stride Velocity 95th Centile (SV95C) (collected in 3 consecutive weeks)

    Time frame: At baseline Week 0 through Week 96

  4. Upper limb proximal strength (assessed by handheld myometer measured in Kilograms)

    Time frame: At baseline Week 0 through Week 96

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Started Dec 2025 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Mar 2029, 39 months after the start.

Of 40 industry-sponsored phase 2 interventional studies under Muscular Dystrophy, Duchenne, half reached primary completion within 31 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 20 and three quarters within 42. This study's planned 39 months is above that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 47 studies reached it within 31 months; a quarter within 20 and three quarters within 42.

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 Mar 6, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
