Study summary

Phase 2a trial of SAT-3247 in ambulatory DMD patients aged ≥ 7 and \< 10 years. The trial has two parts. In Part 1, the trial will study two doses of SAT-3247 in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled weekday regimen for 12 weeks to determine the optimal dose, safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy. In Part 2, the trial will study two doses of SAT-3247 for an additional 9 months.

Read the detailed description

This is a global phase 2a trial of SAT-3247 in ambulatory DMD patients aged ≥ 7 and \< 10 years. The trial has two parts. In Part 1, the trial will study two doses of SAT-3247 in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled weekday regimen for 12 weeks to determine the optimal dose, safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy. In Part 2, the trial will study two doses of SAT-3247 for an additional 9 months. One dose of SAT-3247 and placebo will be studied in the US and Canada; two doses of SAT-3247 and placebo will be studied in UK, EU, Serbia, and Australia.

Enrollment of up to 51 ambulatory DMD participants aged ≥ 7 and \< 10 years of age is planned globally. Randomization will be stratified by baseline corticosteroid regimen and prior DMD concomitant medications.

In Part 1, each participant will receive once daily doses of SAT-3247 or matched placebo for 12 weeks. In Part 2, each participant will receive a once daily dose of SAT-3247 for an additional 9 months.

Participants will be screened within 28 days before initiating dosing of investigational product at Baseline. Following the Screening period, participants will complete a Baseline visit (Visit 2), a follow-up phone call at Week 1, and visits at Week 4 (Visit 3), Week 8 (Visit 4), Week 12 (Visit 5), Week 24 (Visit 6), Week 36 (Visit 7) and Week 48 (Visit 8).

  • Participants that have previously received an exon skipper > 6 months prior to Screening whose muscle function tests have stabilized or demonstrated decline ≥ 3 months prior to Screening, as determined by investigator and documented in chart notes, will be eligible.
  • Participants receiving a stable dose of givinostat (brand name Duvyzat) for at least 18 months or longer prior to the Screening Visit will be eligible. Participants unable to tolerate givinostat who discontinued treatment before 18 months are eligible to enroll if date of last dose is ≥ 30 days from the Screening date. Givinostat should not be discontinued, if tolerated, to meet study entry criteria.

  • Participants for whom MRI or open muscle are .
  • Evidence of significant hepatic dysfunction, defined as GLDH > 2X (ULN) at the Screening Visit.

  • A forced vital capacity \< 60% predicted at the Screening Visit.
  • Ongoing participation in any other therapeutic clinical trial or follow-up study for a therapeutic intervention
  • Consumption of grapefruit juice or grapefruit containing products
  • Severe behavioural or cognitive problems that preclude participation in the study, in the opinion of the investigator.

Additional entry criteria will be reviewed with the clinical site investigator.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(6)

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.

Corticosteroids (steroids)

Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.

Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

Biopsy and archival tissue

A biopsy takes a small piece of tissue to examine. “Archival tissue” is a sample already taken, for example at diagnosis, and kept by the hospital.

Whether a stored sample will do depends on when it was taken, how much there is and what the study needs. Ask whether the study accepts your stored sample or needs a new biopsy.

Contraindication

A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.

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.

LVEF (left ventricular ejection fraction)

The share of blood the heart’s main pumping chamber (the left ventricle) pushes out with each beat, measured by an echocardiogram (heart ultrasound) or a MUGA scan. About 50–70% is normal.

2 registry updates 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 2027, 15 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 15 months is below that.

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

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

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.
