Childhood/juvenile-onset: in addition to the genetic confirmation of DM-1, at least 2 signs or symptoms (not caused by another, unrelated condition) were evident prior to 12 years of age that can be clearly assigned to DM-1, for example: a) Muscle weakness b) Myotonia (delayed muscle relaxation) c) Difficulty using hands, including fine motor problems d) Excessive daytime sleepiness e) Problems with upper or lower gastrointestinal functioning f) Problems with concentration or focusing (including symptoms of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder) g) Learning difficulties (including dyslexia)
2. Diagnosis must be genetically confirmed 3. Subjects must be male or female aged 12 years to 45 years (the first 3 subjects in Cohort 1 must be ≥18 years) 4.

Subjects must be ambulatory and able to complete the 10 metre walk/run test (splints allowed) 6. Subject’s legally authorised representative (LAR) must provide written informed consent and there must be written consent or assent (as age applicable and developmentally appropriate) by the subject before any study-related procedures are conducted 7. Subject’s caregiver must be willing and able to support subject’s participation for duration of study and if different from the LAR, must consent to this in writing

Clinical history of hepatitis, previous or current positive serological evidence for hepatitis B or C 20. Serological evidence of Hepatitis A at Screening or in the 6 months preceding Screening 21. A history of significant drug allergy (such as Steven-Johnson syndrome, anaphylaxis) 22. A history of alcohol or substance use disorders 23. Current malignancy or any history of malignancy except for surgically-cured skin cancer or pilomatricoma (benign tumor of the hair follicle that is associated with DM-1). 24. Severe arthritis or other medical condition (besides DM-1) that would significantly impact ambulation 25. Use within 4 weeks prior to baseline (V3) of strong CYP3A4 inhibitors e.g. clarithyromycin, telithromycin, ketoconazole, itarconazole, posaconazole, nefazadone, indinavir, ritonavir 26. Concurrent use of drugs metabolised by CYP3A4 with a narrow therapeutic window e.g. warfarin and digitoxin 27. Judged clinically to be at risk of suicide (suicidal ideation, severe depression, or other factors) over the last three months, as assessed by the Investigator. 28. Hypersensitivity to tideglusib or any components of its formulation including allergy to strawberry 29. BMI of less than 14.0 kg/m2 or greater than 40.0 kg/m2 at Screening * Acceptable contraception is considered to be using one of the following birth control methods: • Surgical sterilisation of either the female subject in study (e.g., bilateral tubal ligation) or of her male partner (vasectomy with documented azoospermia) if he is the sole partner of that subject • Established hormonal contraception (implantable, patch, oral or intramuscular [IM]) administered for at least one month prior to study medication administration • An intrauterine device (IUD) or intrauterine system (IUS) with failure rate of less than 1% per year inserted by qualified physician at least one month prior to study medication administration
