Key inclusion & exclusion criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

- Male = 4 years and <10 years of age

- Confirmed DMD mutation(s) in the dystrophin gene that is amenable to skipping of exon
53 to restore the dystrophin mRNA reading frame;

- Able to walk independently without assistive devices;

- Ability to complete the time to stand, time to run/walk and time to climb assessments;

- Stable dose of glucocorticoid for at least 3 months

Exclusion Criteria:

- Acute illness within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of study medication;

- Evidence of symptomatic cardiomyopathy. [Note: Asymptomatic cardiac abnormality on
investigation would not be exclusionary];

- Severe allergy or hypersensitivity to medications;

- Severe behavioral or cognitive problems that preclude participation in the study, in
the opinion of the Investigator;

- Previous or ongoing medical condition, medical history, physical findings or
laboratory abnormalities that could affect safety, make it unlikely that treatment and
follow-up will be correctly completed or impair the assessment of study results, in
the opinion of the Investigator;

- Patient is taking any other investigational drug currently or within 3 months prior to
the start of study treatment; or

- Patient has had surgery within the 3 months prior to the first anticipated
administration of study medication or surgery is planned for anytime during the
duration of the study;

- Patient has previously participated in this study or any other study during which
NS-065/NCNP-01 was administered.
