- Mean muscle content-adjusted dystrophin expression 9.0% (range 4.6-13.9%); unadjusted 5.5% (range 3.3-8.3%) in ambulatory boys.
- Dystrophin isoforms consistent with milder Becker DMD; 89% of ambulatory participants achieved ≥5% adjusted dystrophin.
- WVE-N531 safe and well tolerated; all treatment-related AEs mild, no serious AEs or discontinuations.
- Muscle concentration ~41,000 ng/g; 61-day half-life supports monthly dosing; preclinical data suggest higher concentration in heart/diaphragm.
