Entrada - ELEVATE-45

A 2-Part, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study in Participants With Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Amenable to Exon 45 Skipping to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of ENTR-601-45 ( ELEVATE-45 )

Hub Summary

Entrada Therapeutics is developing an exon 45 skipping therapy (called ENTR-601-45) for people living with Duchenne. Its goal is to help the body make a shorter, but still potentially functional dystrophin protein. Dystrophin is important because it helps keep muscles strong and stable.

The ENTR-601-45-201 study (also called ELEVATE-45) is a global, two-part, randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled, Phase 1/2b study evaluating the safety, tolerability and effectiveness of ENTR-601-45 in people living with Duchenne who are amenable to exon 45 skipping.

Study Number: ENTR-601-45-201

Description by Entrada Therapeutics Inc.

This is a study of the investigational medicine, ENTR-601-45, in participants who have Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), a rare genetic condition. The researchers want to: Test how safe ENTR-601-45 is, learn about any side effects, and look at the potential positive effects of ENTR-601-45, compared to placebo. Placebo looks like the investigational medicine but does not contain
any active ingredient. In this summary ENTR-601-45 and placebo are both called study treatments.

The study has 2 parts: Part A: to evaluate if ENTR-601-45 is safe and to determine the best dose of 601-45 for Part B. Part B: to further evaluate the effect and safety of ENTR-601-45 at the dose determined in Part A. Participants will:
• Receive study treatment in the form of an intravenous (IV) infusion (slow injection) into a vein for several weeks
• Visit the clinic regularly for checkups and tests such as: blood and urine tests, physical examinations, questionnaires, muscle biopsies and exercise tests

Participants are allowed to continue receiving their standard of care therapy for DMD during the study, as long as their health remains stable.

Participants may be eligible to enter an open label extension study (OLE). An open label extension study allows participants to continue receiving the study drug, which helps researchers better understand the safety, tolerability and efficacy of ENTR-601-45 over a longer period of time. All participants in the open label extension will receive ENTR-601-45.

Primary Outcome Measures

Overall safety and tolerability of ENTR-601-45

Secondary Outcome Measures

To see how safe ENTR-601-45 is compared to placebo

To look at what ENTR-601-45 does to the body (pharmacodynamics).

To look at how the body interacts with ENTR-601-45 (pharmacokinetics).

Determine the optimal dose for further study in Part B. Additional details on Part B will become available as we approach its expected start.
