To evaluate the safety and tolerability of multiple ascending doses of SRP-5051 (4.0, 10.0, 16.0, and 20.0 mg/kg), administered intravenously (IV) every 4 weeks, and determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD)
Part B – Dose Expansion

E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
Part A – Multiple-Ascending-Dose (MAD) for Dose Determination
To determine the pharmacokinetics (PK) of each dose level of the aforementioned multiple ascending doses of SRP-5051, administered IV every 4 weeks
Part B – Dose Expansion
• To evaluate the ongoing safety and tolerability of additional treatment with SRP-5051, administered IV every 4 weeks at the MTD determined in Part A, in patients who have completed Part A
• To evaluate the clinical effect of additional treatment with SRP-5051, administered IV every 4 weeks at the MTD determined in Part A, in patients who have completed Part A
