Extension Study of Drisapersen in DMD Subjects

Exclusion Criteria

• •2. The laboratory parameters that led to stopping have resolved; benefit of further treatment with drisapersen outweighs the risk to the individual subject; and following consultation with the Medical Monitor.
• •3. Subjects with DMD mutation/deletion within the dystrophin gene and correctable by drisapersen-induced DMD exon 51 skipping.
• •4. Male subjects age \>5 at screening in whom the investigator considers treatment with drisapersen is likely to lead to improvement or prevent worsening of the condition.
• •5. Continued use of glucocorticoids for a minimum of 60 days prior to study entry with a reasonable expectation that the subject will remain on glucocorticoids for the duration of this study. Changes to or cessation of glucocorticoids will be at the discretion of the investigator conducting this study in consultation with the subject/parent and Medical Monitor.
• •6. Willing and able to comply with all study requirements and procedures (with the exception of those assessments requiring a subject to be ambulant, for those subjects who have lost ambulation).
• •7. Able to give informed assent and/or consent in writing by the subject and/or parent(s)/legal guardian (according to local regulations)
• •1. Subjects who have previously been treated with drisapersen and who had a serious adverse experience or who met safety stopping criteria that remains unresolved, which in the opinion of the investigator could have been attributable to drisapersen. Once resolved, subject may be eligible to enter the study following investigator consultation with the Medical Monitor.
• •2. Use of anticoagulants, anti-thrombotics or antiplatelet agents within 28 days of the first re-dosing of drisapersen. Chronic use of anticoagulants, anti-thrombotics or antiplatelet agents is prohibited during the study. As needed dosing (pro re nata - PRN) may be acceptable (except for aspirin) following discussion with the Medical Monitor.
• •3. Participation in any investigational clinical trial within 3 months prior to start or during this study (except for other drisapersen studies). If subjects have participated in any other study within the last 6 months this should be discussed with the Medical Monitor prior to start of this study.
• •4. History of significant medical disorder which may confound the interpretation of safety data (e.g. current or history of renal or liver disease/impairment, history of inflammatory illness)
• •5. Symptomatic cardiomyopathy. If subject has a left ventricular ejection fraction \<45% at start of this study, the investigator should discuss inclusion of subject in this study with the Medical Monitor.
• •6. A platelet count under the lower limit of normal (LLN) at start of this study. A re-test is possible at a later stage, and if within normal range, the subject may enter the study.
