Study update summary
15 Jul, 2026Study design and patient population
TRAILHEAD is an open-label Phase 2 study in adults with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), aiming to enroll up to 30 participants, with current six-month interim results from four adults aged 21–28, all previously enrolled in the CL-101 study.
Participants received 60 mg SAT-3247 orally, five days on, two days off, for up to 12 months, with primary endpoints of safety, tolerability, and biceps brachii fat fraction by MRI.
Secondary and additional endpoints included muscle composition, strength, function, spirometry, quality of life, health economic impact, and biomarkers.
Six-month data reflect 186 days mean drug exposure with 100% compliance.
The study is ongoing, with 12-month data expected in Q4 2026.
Efficacy and safety outcomes
Mean biceps brachii fat fraction improved by 3.7 percentage points over six months, contrary to expected natural history worsening.
All participants showed increased upper limb effort (TE99C), with a mean improvement of 34%.
Muscle strength remained stable, maintaining prior handgrip gains despite a treatment gap.
Creatine kinase levels declined by 38%, indicating reduced muscle damage.
All adverse events were mild or moderate, with no serious events, withdrawals, or discontinuations, and 100% treatment compliance.
Functional and patient-reported outcomes
Performance of the upper limb (PUL/PUL2.0) scores were stable or improved in all participants, with no declines observed.
Patient-reported fatigue (PedsQL-MFS) improved by nearly 7 points, suggesting better quality of life.
Real-world activity, as measured by wearable sensors, showed consistent improvement.
Upper extremity strength remained stable across all measures, including handgrip and dynamometry.
Consistent improvements across imaging, biomarkers, effort, strength, and function reinforce the biologic activity of SAT-3247.
