About

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of LE051 intravenous therapy in DMD patients treated with exon 51 skipping therapy.

Full description

This is a single-arm, open-label study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, efficacy, pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic, and immune response of LE051 after a single intravenous infusion in DMD patients, as well as the long-term safety and efficacy.

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a progressive neuromuscular disorder arising from mutations in the dystrophin gene, leading to muscle weakness, disability, and premature mortality. LE051, an investigational therapy, incorporates a ADAR recruiting RNA expression cassette targeting human exon 51 and is delivered via adeno-associated virus. By inducing exon 51 skipping, LE051 holds the potential to treat approximately 13% of DMD patients.
