Summary
This trial is for boys with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy who have finished a 48-week treatment period in a previous study.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for boys who can walk (ambulant) and have Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD). They must have finished a previous 48-week study of viltolarsen or placebo. Participants need consent from parents or guardians, and they should be able to follow the study schedule and procedures.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing the safety and effectiveness of a drug called Viltolarsen in boys with DMD. It's an extension of a prior study where participants received either Viltolarsen or a placebo for 48 weeks.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects are not specified here, but generally, treatments for DMD may cause potential reactions at the injection site, kidney problems, changes in mood or behavior, nausea, vomiting, and heart issues.
