Summary

This early-stage study is testing a single intravenous dose of an experimental gene therapy called SGT-001 in boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). The main goal is to see if the treatment is safe and tolerable. Researchers will also look for early signs that it might help by measuring a key muscle protein and checking muscle and heart function over five years of follow-up.
