Key inclusion & exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria:
1. Age >=18 years.
2. Confirmed clinical and molecular diagnosis of BMD, FSHD, or LGMD 2A, 2B, 2C, 2D, 2E, or 2I using the specific diagnostic criteria listed in Section 19, Muscular Dystrophy History
3. Independent ambulation as assessed by completion of a 9-meter walking test. The use of an ankle foot orthosis is permitted if needed.
4. Screening period- first strength evaluation: at least 8 of the following 16 muscle groups must have a MMT muscle grade >= 3- and <= 4+ on the modified Medical Research Council Scale:
Shoulder flexors, Shoulder abductors, Shoulder external rotators, Shoulder internal rotators, Biceps, Elbow extensors, Brachioradialis (all bilateral), Neck Flexors, Neck Extensors.
5. Screening period- second strength evaluation: at least 10 of the following 16 muscle groups must have an MMT grade that is within 2 steps of the grade assigned at the first screening evaluation:
Shoulder flexors, Shoulder abductors, Shoulder external rotators, Shoulder internal rotators, Biceps, Elbow extensors, Brachioradialis (all bilateral), Neck flexors, Neck Extensors.
6. Forced vital capacity (FVC) >= 60% of predicted (performed while seated) at Visit 1
7. Ejection fraction > 40% as measured by echocardiogram at Visit 1.
8. Male subjects who are not surgically sterile agree and commit to the use of 2 reliable methods of birth control for the duration of the study and for 12 weeks after the last dose of test article.
9. Female subjects who are surgically sterile or postmenopausal.
10. Able to comply with all study evaluations and return for all study visits.
Are the trial subjects under 18? no
Number of subjects for this age range:
F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) yes
F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range
F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) yes

Exclusion criteria:
1. Known history of congestive heart failure.
2. Diagnosis of atherosclerotic heart disease.
3. Use of anti-arrhythmic treatment during the 12 weeks before randomization.
4. Use of chronic anti-coagulant treatment during the 12 weeks before randomization.
5. Use of steroids such as, but not limited to, prednisone, prednisolone, deflazacort, and oxandrolone, during the 6 months before randomization and for the duration of the study with the exception of topical, inhaled and/or intranasal steroids used for a condition other than muscular dystrophy.
6. Use of any other pharmacologic treatment with the potential to affect muscle function such as, but not limited to, albuterol and creatine during the 4 weeks before randomization and for the duration of the study.
7. Initiation of, or significant change in, endurance and/or strengthening exercises with the potential to affect muscle function during the 8 weeks before randomization and for the duration of the study.
8. Surgery performed during the 12 weeks before randomization or planned for the duration of the study.
9. Concomitant co-morbidity that functionally limits the ability to perform required study procedures (eg, MMT, MRI, etc.).

11. Significant concomitant intercurrent illness.
12. History of sensitivity to monoclonal antibodies or protein pharmaceuticals.
13. Lactating women.
14. Women of childbearing potential
15. Use of any experimental treatments or participation in a clinical trial during the 4 weeks before randomization and for the duration of the study.
16. Any other major illness or reason that, in the investigator's judgment, will substantially increase the risk associated with the subject's participation in this study.
17. Diagnosis of LGMD other than LGMD 2A, 2B, 2C, 2D, 2E, and 2I.
