  • Patients aged 5 years or more at the time of informed consent
  • Patients weighing more than 7.5 kg and less than 60 kg at the time of screening test
  • Patients who meet all of the following at the time of screening test
  • walk by themselves
  • time to rise from the floor on own is ≥ 3 seconds and \<10 seconds
  • Patients who can expect a 6-minute walking test of 350 meters or more
  • If taking oral glucocorticoids no significant change in the total daily or dosing 6 months before enrollment.
  • \[Non-ambulatory Cohort\]
  • Patients with a diagnosis of DMD as determined by a dystrophin genetic test at the time of informed consent.
  • Patients weighing more than 7.5 kg and less than 90 kg at the time of screening test
  • Patients who meet all of the following criteria as definition of non-ambulatory at the time of enrollment
  • Use of a wheelchair on a daily basis.
  • No orthopedic pathology (fracture, sprain, injury, etc.) or acute deterioration associated with surgical treatment.
  • Inability to walk 10 meters within 30 seconds on the 10-meter run/walk test at enrollment.
  • +4 more criteria

You may not qualify if:

  • Patients who have serious concomitant drug hypersensitivity or medical history
  • Patients who have used cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) or COX-2 inhibitors, or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) during 7 days before the measurement of time to rise from the floor in the screening period
  • Patients who have incurred an injury (trauma/damage) that may affect muscle strength or motor function within 3 months before enrollment or who have an uncured injury (trauma/damage) that may affect muscle strength or motor function at the enrollment
  • Patients who have received gene-/cell-based therapy or stop-codon readthrough therapy with antisense oligonucleotides
  • Patients who have participated in another clinical trial and received a study drug within 90 days before study drug administration in the present study
  • Patients with a left ventricular ejection fraction (EF) of \<40% or left ventricular fractional shortening (FS) of \<25% on the cardiac ultrasonography (echocardiography) at observation period
  • \[Non-ambulatory Cohort\]
  • Patients with severe cardiac disease (including a history of pacemaker surgery)
  • Patients with left ventricular EF \<40% on echocardiography within 14 days prior to enrollment
  • Patients with %FVC less than 40% within 14 days prior to enrollment
  • Patients with respiratory diseases such as asthma, bronchitis, COPD, bronchiectasis, emphysema, pneumonia, etc. (including chronic use of beta2 agonists, inhaled steroids, sympathomimetics, anticholinergic agents, etc.)
  • Patients on continuous ventilator use (excluding use while sleeping)
  • Patients who have undergone surgery within 180 days prior to enrollment that may affect muscle strength or exercise, pulmonary function, or cardiac function, or are planning such surgery during the study period
  • Injury (trauma/injury) within 90 days prior to enrollment that may affect muscle strength or motor, pulmonary, or cardiac function, or that has not healed at the time of enrollment
  • Patients who are judged by the principal investigator or subinvestigator to have brain dysfunction such as intellectual disability, autistic tendencies, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder that would interfere with the performance of efficacy and safety evaluation
  • +2 more criteria
