Summary
This Phase II study is an open-label, multiple dose study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK, PD, clinical efficacy, behavior and neuropsychology, and physical functioning vamorolone over a treatment period of 12 weeks in steroid-naïve boys ages 2 to <4 years, and glucocorticoid-treated and currently untreated boys ages 7 to <18 years with DMD.

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- Subject's parent(s) or legal guardian(s) has (have) provided written informed consent and Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) authorization, where applicable, prior to any study-related procedures; participants will be asked to give written or verbal assent according to local requirements;
- Subject has a centrally confirmed (by TRiNDS central genetic counselor[s]) diagnosis of DMD, defined as:
- Dystrophin immunofluorescence and/or immunoblot showing complete dystrophin deficiency, and clinical picture consistent with typical DMD, OR
- Identifiable mutation within the DMD gene (deletion/duplication of one or more exons), where reading frame can be predicted as 'out-of-frame,' and clinical picture consistent with typical DMD, OR
- Complete dystrophin gene sequencing showing an alteration (point mutation, duplication, other) that is expected to preclude production of the dystrophin protein (i.e., nonsense mutation, deletion/duplication leading to a downstream stop codon), with a clinical picture consistent with typical DMD;
- Subject is male, 2 to <4 years or 7 to <18 years of age at time of enrollment in the study;
- If 7 to <18 years of age and currently taking standard of care glucocorticoids for treatment of DMD, subject has been taking standard of care glucocorticoids at stable dose for at least 3 months prior to enrollment in the study, and will continue the same stable dose regimen through the date of the Baseline Day -1 Visit. [Note: Inhaled and/or topical glucocorticoids are permitted if last use is at least 4 weeks prior to enrollment or if administered at stable dose beginning at least 4 weeks prior to enrollment and anticipated to be used at the stable dose regimen for the duration of the study];
- If 7 to <18 years of age, and not currently glucocorticoid-treated, subject has not received oral glucocorticoids or other oral immunosuppressive agents for at least 3 months prior to enrollment. [Note: Inhaled and/or topical glucocorticoids are permitted if last use is at least 4 weeks prior to enrollment or if administered at stable dose beginning at least 4 weeks prior to enrollment and anticipated to be used at the stable dose regimen for the duration of the study];
- Clinical laboratory test results are within the normal range at the Screening Visit, or if abnormal, are not clinically significant, in the opinion of the Investigator. [Notes: Serum gamma glutamyl transferase (GGT), creatinine, and total bilirubin all must be ≤ upper limit of the normal range at the Screening Visit. An abnormal vitamin D level that is considered clinically significant will not exclude a subject from participating];
- Subject has evidence of chicken pox immunity as determined by:
- Presence of IgG antibodies to varicella, as documented by a positive test result from the local laboratory from blood collected during the Screening Period; OR
- Documentation, provided at the Screening Visit, that the subject has had 2 doses of varicella vaccine, with or without serologic evidence of immunity; the second of the 2 immunizations must have been given at least 14 days prior to assignment to a dose group;
- Subject and parent(s)/guardian(s) are willing and able to comply with scheduled visits, study drug administration plan, and study procedures.
Exclusion Criteria
- Subject has current or history of major renal or hepatic impairment, diabetes mellitus or immunosuppression;
- Subject has current or history of chronic systemic fungal or viral infections;
- Subject has used mineralocorticoid receptor agents, such as spironolactone, eplerenone, canrenone (canrenoate potassium), prorenone (prorenoate potassium), or mexrenone (mexrenoate potassium) within 4 weeks prior to enrollment;
- Subject has a history of primary hyperaldosteronism;
- Subject has evidence of symptomatic cardiomyopathy [Note: Asymptomatic cardiac abnormality on investigation would not be exclusionary];
- If 2 to <
