Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Change From Baseline in the 4-Step Ascend Velocity at Week 96
Baseline, Week 96
Change in Dystrophin Expression From Baseline Following Treatment With Either AMONDYS 45 (Previously Casimersen), EXONDYS 51 (Previously Eteplirsen ), or VYONDYS 53 (Previously Golodirsen)
Baseline, 1 year

This will be assessed by the comparison of quantification of protein in muscle biopsy tissue by western blot from baseline to 1 year post-initiation of treatment.

Monitoring for the Development of Unacceptable Toxicity.
1 year

This will be measured by capturing and reviewing Adverse Events as defined by CTCAE v4.0.

Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)
Baseline up to Week 148

Adverse event (AE) was any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical trial participant, which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the investigational drug. AEs also included abnormal physical examination findings (Physical examination were conducted per protocol and any clinically significant abnormal findings were recorded in medical history if pre-existing or addressed as an AE if new or worsening). TEAEs was defined as AEs that started, worsened, or became serious on or after the start of first infusion through 148 weeks. Number of participants with TEAEs were reported.

Number of Participants With Potentially Clinically Significant (PCS) Laboratory Abnormalities Reported as TEAEs
Baseline up to Week 148

Laboratory parameters included serum chemistry (hepatic chemistry and renal chemistry), hematology, coagulation, and urinalysis. Number of participants with potentially clinically significant abnormal finding were reported as TEAEs. The Investigator determined whether abnormal assessment results were potentially clinically significant or not. Potentially clinical significance was defined as any variation in assessment results that had medical relevance resulting in an alteration in medical care.

Number of Participants With Potentially Clinically Significant Abnormalities in Vital Signs Reported as TEAEs
Baseline up to Week 148

Vital sign parameters included systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), heart rate (HR), and body temperature. Number of participants with at least one potentially clinically significant abnormal vital signs findings were reported as TEAEs. The Investigator determined whether abnormal assessment results were potentially clinically significant or not. Potential clinical significance was defined as any variation in assessment results that had medical relevance resulting in an alteration in medical care.

Number of Participants With Potentially Clinically Significant Abnormalities in Electrocardiogram (ECG) Reported as TEAEs
Baseline up to Week 148

Twelve-lead ECGs were performed at a consistent time of day throughout the study. Electrocardiograms were performed only after the participant was in the supine position, resting, and quiet for a minimum of 15 minutes. The ECG was manually reviewed and interpreted by medically qualified personnel. Number of participants with potentially clinically significant abnormalities in ECG reported as TEAEs were presented here. The Investigator determined whether abnormal assessment results were potentially clinically significant or not.

Number of Participants With Potentially Clinically Significant Abnormalities in Echocardiograms (ECHO)
Baseline up to Week 148

Standard, 2-dimensional ECHOs were performed at a consistent time of day throughout the study.The ECHO was reviewed and interpreted by medically qualified personnel. Number of participants with potentially clinically significant abnormalities in ECHO were reported.

This will be followed by an open-label extension period in which all participants will receive open-label active treatment of SRP-4045 or SRP-4053 at 30 mg/kg/week IV infusions for 48 weeks (up to Week 144 in the study).
AMONDYS 45EXPERIMENTALThis arm will involve the treatment of boys with DMD who have a duplication of exon 45, for which AMONDYS 45 will target skipping of this exon.

VYONDYS 53EXPERIMENTALThis arm will involve the treatment of boys with DMD who have a duplication of exon 53, for which VYONDYS 53 will target skipping of this exon.
Placebo (double-blind dose titration)PLACEBO_COMPARATORParticipants with genotypically confirmed Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) characterized by deletions amenable to exon 45 skipping will receive placebo-matching to casimersen intravenous (IV) infusions, once weekly over approximately 12 weeks in the double-blind period.
SRP-4045 (double-blind dose titration)EXPERIMENTALParticipants with genotypically confirmed DMD characterized by deletions amenable to exon 45 skipping will receive weekly IV infusions of casimersen at four escalating dose levels, each for at least 2 weeks: 4 milligrams per kilograms (mg/kg) during Week 1 to Week 2, followed by 10 mg/kg during Week 3 to Week 4, followed by 20 mg/kg during Week 5 to Week 6, followed by 30 mg/kg beginning at Week 7 and continue over approximately Week 12 in the double-blind period.
SRP-4045 (open label extension period)EXPERIMENTALAll participants who completed double blind period will be enrolled to receive casimersen 30 mg/kg once weekly, for up to Week 144 in the open label extension period.

Frequently asked questions about SRP-4045

What is SRP-4045?

SRP-4045 is an investigational small molecule developed by Sarepta Therapeutics for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, a genetic muscle-wasting disease. It is also known as casimersen. It was studied in placebo-controlled Phase 3 clinical trials and is designed for patients whose disease is associated with a confirmed genetic mutation amenable to exon skipping.

What is SRP-4045 used for in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy?

SRP-4045 is being developed to treat Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy in male patients. DMD is caused by mutations in the dystrophin gene that lead to progressive muscle degeneration. SRP-4045 is intended for patients with a confirmed mutation amenable to exon 45 skipping, a biomarker-selected population. It remains investigational and is not established as an approved therapy.

What does SRP-4045 target?

SRP-4045 targets dystrophin, the protein missing or defective in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. Dystrophin is a structural protein that helps protect muscle fibers during contraction. By targeting dystrophin production, SRP-4045 aims to address the underlying cause of DMD in patients with mutations amenable to exon 45 skipping.

Who is developing SRP-4045?

SRP-4045 is being developed by Sarepta Therapeutics, Inc., which trades on the Nasdaq under the ticker SRPT. Sarepta is a biopharmaceutical company focused on precision genetic medicines, including treatments for rare neuromuscular diseases such as Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.

What phase is SRP-4045 in?

SRP-4045 has completed Phase 3 clinical development. Two trials are listed for the program, both now completed: a Phase 1 dose-titration and open-label extension study and a Phase 3 study. SRP-4045 remains an investigational agent and is not described as FDA approved in the available program information.

What clinical trials is SRP-4045 in?

SRP-4045 has been studied in two completed trials. NCT02500381 was a Phase 3 study of SRP-4045 (casimersen) and SRP-4053 (golodirsen) in participants with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, enrolling 228 patients across many countries. NCT02530905 was a Phase 1 dose-titration and open-label extension study in advanced-stage DMD patients, enrolling 12 participants in the United States.

Is SRP-4045 the same as casimersen?

Yes. SRP-4045 is the investigational code name for casimersen, the same drug candidate developed by Sarepta Therapeutics for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. The Phase 3 trial NCT02500381 refers to the agent as SRP-4045 (Casimersen), confirming that the two names identify the same program.
