Study Summary

This open-label, single-arm multi-center study studying the safety and efficacy of TXA127 on non-ambulant patients with DMD Cardiomyopathy will comprise of two phases:

  1. 6-month open-label treatment phase: Male DMD patients with documented cardiomyopathy, will receive a daily subcutaneous injection of TXA127 0.5 mg/kg. Treatment will be provided for 6 months. Treatment safety will be assessed by collection and review of AEs, vital signs, ECGs, physical examinations, PFTs, and laboratory parameters on Day 1, Month 1, and Month 6. Ejection Fraction, upper extremity strength and biomarker levels will be assessed at these study visits as well. In addition, an abbreviated safety visit will be conducted at Month 3.

  2. 12-month optional extension phase: Patients will continue the same study drug regime for an additional 12 months. The primary objective of this phase is to obtain long-term safety data. Efficacy data will also be collected. Safety, efficacy, and exploratory biomarkers will be assessed at Month 12 and Month 18, using the same methods as in the treatment phase. In addition, abbreviated safety visits will be conducted at Month 9 and Month 15.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Male subjects 16 years of age or older who provide informed consent and can follow upwith protocol procedures. Parental or guardian consent is required for subjects atleast 16 years of age but younger than 18 years of age.
  2. Documented diagnosis of Duchenne muscular dystrophy by genetic mutation analysis.
  3. Documented cardiomyopathy, as assessed by echocardiogram with:
  4. For a patient ≤ 20 years of age, EF > 35% and < 55% and fractional shortening of ≤ 28% at the time of screening.
  5. For a patient > 20 years of age, EF > 20% and fractional shortening ≤ 28% at thetime of screening.
  6. Reproducible (+/- 10%) difference between screening and baseline of percent predictedFVC , using the best out of 3 efforts at each visit:
  7. For a patient ≤ 20 years of age, FVC between 45% and 85%, inclusive. Patientshould not utilize non-invasive ventilation such as CPAP or BiPAP.
  8. For a patient >20 years of age, all of the following should exist: FVC > 20%, EF > 20% in baseline ECHO and ability to be off non-invasive ventilation, such asCPAP and BiPAP, for at least 4 consecutive hours a day (24 hours period).
  9. Subjects must be taking systemic glucocorticoids for at least six months prior toscreening.
  10. Subjects taking mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists, must be taking the drug for atleast three months prior to screening
  11. Non-ambulant and cared for by a trained caregiver

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Therapy with intravenous inotropic or vasoactive medications at the time of screening
  2. Planned or likelihood of major surgery in the 6 months after planned enrollment.
  3. Patient is using a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) or actively in the process ofacquiring a LVAD.
  4. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR) <50 mL/min, as calculated by the CKD-EPICreatinine equation 2021 (https://www.kidney.org/professionals/kdoqi/gfr_calculator)
  5. Patient is suffering from unstable systemic allergic reaction(s), connective tissuedisease or autoimmune disorder(s), requiring active intervention
  6. History of cardiac tumor or current cardiac tumor
  7. Known moderate-to-severe aortic stenosis/insufficiency or severe mitralstenosis/regurgitation
  8. Current alcohol or drug abuse
  9. Known history of chronic viral hepatitis unless considered cured based on hepatitis CRNA negative results
  10. Hepatic dysfunction upon screening evidenced by bilirubin levels or gamma-GT levelsabove normal, deemed as clinically significant by the PI/Sub-I, and/or abnormalhematology (hematocrit <25%, WBC <3000/μl, platelets <100,000/μl), without areversible, identifiable cause. Total bilirubin elevations > 2 times the upperreference range, consistent with Gilbert's Syndrome, may be enrolled if there is noother evidence of liver dysfunction
  11. Uncontrolled diabetes (HbA1c >9.0 percent)
  12. Inability to comply with protocol-related procedures, including required study visits
  13. Any condition or other reason that, in the opinion of the investigator or MedicalMonitor, would render the subject unsuitable for the study
  14. Currently receiving or received within 90 days of enrollment (Day 1) aninvestigational treatment on another clinical study or expanded access protocol. Thiswill include patients currently being treated or who have not completed follow-up totreatment with an investigational cell-based therapy within 6 months prior toenrollment and patients actively receiving an investigational therapy forcardiovascular repair/regeneration.
