study description:
This is a double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of SRP-4045 and SRP-4053. Eligible patients with out-of-frame deletion mutations amenable to exon 45 or 53 skipping will be randomized to receive once weekly intravenous (IV) infusions of 30 mg/kg SRP-4045 or 30 mg/kg SRP-4053 respectively (combined-active group) or placebo for up to 96 weeks (the placebo-controlled period of the trial). This will be followed by an open label extension period in which all patients will receive open-label active treatment for 48 weeks (up to Week 144 of study).
The study will enroll approximately 222 patients, with a planned minimum target of 111 patients amenable to exon 45 skipping and 111 patients amenable to exon 53 skipping.
Approximately 148 patients will be randomized to receive active treatment with either SRP-4045 or SRP-4053 (depending on deletion mutation), and 74 patients will be randomized to receive placebo. Twice as many patients will receive active treatment as will receive placebo (2:1 randomization).
Clinical efficacy will be assessed at regularly scheduled study visits, including functional tests such as the six-minute walk test (6MWT). All patients will undergo a muscle biopsy at baseline and a second muscle biopsy either at Week 48 or Week 96.
Safety will be assessed through the collection of adverse events (AEs), laboratory tests, electrocardiograms (ECGs), echocardiograms (ECHOs), vital signs, and physical examinations throughout the study.
Blood samples will be taken periodically throughout the study to assess the pharmacokinetics of both drugs.

primary outcomes:

• Change From Baseline in the Total Distance Walked During 6-Minute Walk Test (6MWT) at Week 96 [ Time Frame: Baseline and Week 96 ]

secondary outcomes:

• Change from Baseline the Total Distance Walked During 6-Minute Walk Test (6MWT) at Week 144 (Week 48 of the OL period) [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 144 ]
  
• Change from Baseline in Dystrophin Protein Levels Determined by Western Blot at Weeks 48 or 96 [ Time Frame: Baseline and Weeks 48 or 96 ]
  
• Change from Baseline in Dystrophin Intensity Levels Determined by Immunohistochemistry (IHC) at Weeks 48 or 96 [ Time Frame: Baseline and Weeks 48 or 96 ]
  
• Ability to Rise Independently From the Floor [ Time Frame: Week 96, Week 144 ]
  
• Time to Loss of Ambulation (LOA) [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 96, Week 144 ]
  
• Change From Baseline in the North Star Ambulatory Assessment (NSAA) Total Score at Week 96 and Week 144 [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 96, Week 144 ]
  The NSAA is a functional scale devised from the Hammersmith Scale of Motor Ability specifically for use in ambulant children with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). It consists of 17 activities graded 0 (unable to perform), 1 (performs with modifications), 2 (normal movement). The scale assesses activities required to remain functionally ambulant (example, rise from the floor), activities that can be difficult even early in the disease (e.g. standing on heels) and activities that are known to progressively deteriorate over time (stand from a chair, walk). NSAA Total Score ranges from 0 to 34, with a score of 34 implying normal function.
  
• Change From Baseline in Forced Vital Capacity Percent (FVC%) Predicted at Week 96 and Week 144 [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 96, Week 144 ]
