Summary

This study tests a drug called TAS-205 in 104 people with Duchenne muscular dystrophy, a genetic disease that weakens muscles over time. The goal is to see if the drug can help them move more easily, like standing up from the floor or walking. Participants are split into two groups: those who can still walk and those who cannot, and some will receive a placebo.
