E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
Effect parameters • Endogenous production of the expected mRNA (assessed by RT-PCR on RNA isolated from muscle biopsy and mononuclear blood cells) • Presence of novel dystrophin at the membrane of muscle fibres (assessed by immunofluorescent analysis of cross-sections and western blot analysis of total protein extracts derived from the muscle biopsy) • Muscle function (distance walked in 6 minutes and timed tests: 10-meter walk/run, rising from floor, stair climb) • Muscle strength (QMT, MMT)
Safety • Frequency and number of adverse events • Local tolerability • Complement activation (complement split products C3a, C5a, Bb) • Coagulation (aPTT) • Inflammatory response (IL-6, MCP-1) • Immune response to dystrophin (antibodies) • ECG, heart rate and blood pressure • Safety haematology and biochemistry parameters • Urinalysis
Pharmacokinetic parameters • t1/2 • AUC: 0-24h, 2hh-7d, 0-∞ • Cmax, Ctrough 7d • tmax • distribution volume • clearance |
