© 2020 Elsevier B.V.We report results from a phase 2, randomized, double-blind, 2-period trial (48 weeks each) of domagrozumab and its open-label extension in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Of 120 ambulatory boys (aged 6 to <16 years) with DMD, 80 were treated with multiple ascending doses (5, 20, and 40 mg/kg) of domagrozumab and 40 treated with placebo. The primary endpoints were safety and mean change in 4-stair climb (4SC) time at week 49. Secondary endpoints included other functional tests, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics. Mean (SD) age was 8.4 (1.7) and 9.3 (2.3) years in domagrozumab- and placebo-treated patients, respectively. Difference in mean (95% CI) change from baseline in 4SC at week 49 for domagrozumab vs placebo was 0.27 (–7.4 to 7.9) seconds (p = 0.94). There were no significant between-group differences in any secondary clinical endpoints. Most patients had ≥1 adverse event in the first 48 weeks; most were mild and not treatment-related. Median serum concentrations of domagrozumab increased with administered dose within each dose level. Non-significant increases in muscle volume were observed in domagrozumab- vs placebo-treated patients. Domagrozumab was generally safe and well tolerated in patients with DMD. Efficacy measures did not support a significant treatment effect. Clinicaltrials.gov identifiers: NCT02310763 and NCT02907619
