Summary
This trial studies a new drug to treat Duchenne muscular dystrophy. It tests safety, how well it works and how it affects the body in healthy adults and people with Duchenne.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for healthy adults and those with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) who can benefit from exon 44 skipping. Participants must be aged 18-55 years with a BMI of 18.5 to 32 kg/m2.
What is being tested?
The study tests AOC 1044, which could potentially treat DMD by skipping exon 44 in the gene mutation. It's given in single or multiple doses to see how safe it is and how the body responds.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects are not detailed here but will likely include reactions at the injection site, potential liver enzyme changes, and other symptoms related to altering muscle protein production.
