Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The expanded access program will provide access to treatment with deflazacort in children, adolescent, and adult patients with DMD in the U.S. who are ineligible, unable, or otherwise unwilling to enroll in a clinical study examining the efficacy of deflazacort while a new drug application is under preparation and review. Enrollment is open to all eligible patients.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Deflazacort will be supplied free of charge and shipped directly to patients or caregivers, as appropriate. Treating physicians will continue to follow their standard of care activities and procedures for management of DMD. Treating physicians participating in the expanded access program are required to collect/document any patient or caregiver reported safety events and report to the sponsor..

Interventions

Learn about the drugs, procedures, or behavioral strategies being tested and how they are applied within this trial.

Deflazacort

Deflazacort, a glucocorticoid with anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive effects, is used in treating a variety of diseases. Pharmacologically it is an inactive pro-drug which is metabolized immediately to the active metabolite, 21 desacetyl-DFZ. The elimination of this metabolite is primarily via the urine in humans. Its potency is approximately 70 to 90% of prednisone and 6 mg of deflazacort has approximately the same anti-inflammatory potency as 5 mg of prednisolone or prednisone.
