Study Summary

This is a Phase 2, multiple-dose, open-label study evaluating the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of ataluren in participants aged ≥2 to \<5 years old with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) caused by a nonsense mutation in the dystrophin gene.

Primary Outcome
