Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - Ataluren
Experimental: Ataluren - Ataluren will be provided as a vanilla-flavored powder to be mixed with water, milk, fruit juice (except apple juice) fruit punch, or in semi-solid food (for example, yogurt, pudding, or applesauce). The dose level for ataluren will be 10 milligrams/kilograms (mg/kg) in the morning, 10 mg/kg at midday, and 20 mg/kg in the evening. Administration within 30 minutes after a meal will be recommended. Study drug dosing will be based on milligrams of drug per kilogram of body weight. Because of potential changes in participant body weight over time, weight-based dose adjustment can occur every 24 weeks as required. Study drug will be taken for up to 240 weeks.

Assessment method [1]
0
0
A TEAE is any untoward medical occurrence or undesirable event(s) experienced in a participant that begins or worsens following administration of the study drug or study treatment, whether or not considered related to the treatment by the Investigator. A serious adverse event (SAE) was an adverse event (AE) resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason, death, initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization, life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying), or persistent or significant disability/incapacity not related to nmDBMD. AEs included both SAEs and non-serious AEs. AEs were classified according to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 3.0 (CTCAE) and coded using the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA). A summary of serious and all other non-serious adverse events, regardless of causality, is located in the Reported Adverse Events module.

Change From Baseline in Physical Function as Measured by the NSAA
Query!
Assessment method [2]
0
0
The NSAA was used to evaluate physical function in participants who were ambulatory at study entry, using standardized procedures. The NSAA consisted of 17 activities, each scored as 0 (activity could not be performed), 1 (modified method but achieved goal without physical assistance from another), or 2 (normal, achieved goal without assistance). The sum of these 17 scores was used to form a total score. If fewer than 13 of the 17 activities were performed, the total score was considered missing. If 13 to 16 activities were performed, the total score was calculated by multiplying the sum of the scores in the x activities that were performed by 17/x. If an activity could not be performed due to disease progression/loss of ambulation, a score of 0 was assigned. The linear score was the linear transformation of the NSAA score to a scale of 0 (worst) to 100 (best).

Pulmonary function parameters of %-predicated FVC, percent-predicted FEV1 (adjusted using ulna length and age), PEF, and PCF was assessed in non-ambulatory participants by using a spirometer. Due to the difficulty in obtaining an accurate standing height measurement in non-ambulatory participants, ulna length and arm span were used as a surrogate measure for height when calculating percent-predicted FVC.

Change From Baseline in Participant and Parent/Caregiver-Reported ADL, as Measured by the EK Scale

Assessment method [6]

0
Activities of daily living after loss of ambulation were measured using the EK scale. The EK scale is an ordinal scale ranging from 0 to 30 points where 0 represents the highest level of independent function and 30 the lowest. The scale consists of 10 categories (each scored 0 to 3), involving different functional domains including 1) ability to use wheelchair, 2) ability to transfer from wheelchair, 3) ability to stand, 4) ability to balance in the wheelchair, 5) ability to move arms, 6) ability to use hands and arms when eating, 7) ability to turn in bed, 8) ability to cough, 9) ability to speak, and 10) physical well-being. The administration of the EK scale consisted of an interview of the participant to capture how he performs the tasks of daily life (as described by Categories 1 to 9) and how he perceives his wellbeing (as described by Category 10). The interviewer observed the participant and assigned the final score for the tasks that could be observed in the clinic.

Note: If the study candidate is considered a child under local regulation, a parent or legal guardian must provide written consent prior to initiation of study screening procedures and the study candidate may be required to provide written assent. The rules of the responsible Institutional Review Board/Independent Ethics Committee (IRB/IEC) regarding whether 1 or both parents must provide consent and the appropriate ages for obtaining consent and assent from the participant should be followed.
2. History of exposure to ataluren in a prior PTC study in nmDBMD. Note: Participants are considered eligible only if they received ataluren during their participation in 1 or more prior PTC-sponsored studies of ataluren in nmDBMD. Note: Participants who have participated in a prior or ongoing PTC study with ataluren in nmDBMD at a trial site in the US or Canada, but reside outside of the US and Canada, may be eligible for this study (with the approval of the PTC Therapeutics Medical Monitor).
3. Male sex.
4. In participants who are sexually active, willingness to abstain from sexual intercourse or employ a barrier or medical method of contraception during ataluren administration and the 6-week follow-up period.
5. Willingness and ability to comply with scheduled visits, drug administration plan, study procedures, laboratory tests, and study restrictions. Note: Psychological, social, familial, or geographical factors that might preclude adequate study participation should be considered.

Summary
Brief summary
Duchenne/Becker muscular dystrophy (DBMD) is a genetic disorder that develops in boys. It is caused by a mutation in the gene for dystrophin, a protein that is important for maintaining normal muscle structure and function. Loss of dystrophin causes muscle fragility that leads to weakness and loss of walking ability during childhood and teenage years. A specific type of mutation, called a nonsense (premature stop codon) mutation, is the cause of DBMD in approximately 10-15% of boys with the disease. Ataluren is an orally delivered, investigational drug that has the potential to overcome the effects of the nonsense mutation. This study comprises a Phase 3, open-label study of ataluren in participants with nmDBMD who previously received ataluren at an Investigator site in a prior PTC-sponsored clinical study. A separate open-label study (PTC124-GD-016-DMD; NCT01247207) is being conducted for nmDBMD participants who previously received ataluren at an Investigator site in the United States (US).
