Who can participate
This study lists these criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov. A study coordinator reviews eligibility during screening — this page does not determine whether you qualify.
Inclusion criteria
- Participants are eligible to be included in the study only if all of the following criteria apply:
- For Part A, participants must be 18 to 55 years of age inclusive, at the time of signing the informed consent.
- For Part B, participants must be as follows:
- 10 to 17 years of age inclusive, at the time of signing the informed consent or,
- 18 to 55 years of age inclusive, at the time of signing the informed consent.
- Participants with non-congenital onset DM1
- Participants presenting with signs of DM1 including myotonia and muscle weakness, as diagnosed previously by a clinician based on medical history.
- Participants with genetic diagnosis of DM1 \[cytosine-thymine-guanine (CTG) repeat length ≥50 in one allele from medical history\]
- Participants who can walk independently for at least 10 meters at screening (orthoses and ankle braces allowed).
Exclusion criteria
- Participants are excluded from the study if any of the following criteria apply:
- Participants with neutralizing antibodies against the AAV.SAN011 capsid

- Participants with liver or biliary disease defined as having at least one of the following:
- ALT \>3 x ULN and AST \>3 x ULN
- Alkaline phosphatase \>3 x ULN
- Total bilirubin \>1.5 x ULN (unless has a genetically confirmed diagnosis of Gilbert's syndrome)
- Direct bilirubin ≥1.5 x ULN
- Participants with International normalized ratio \>1.5
- Participants with renal disease defined as: • Serum creatinine \>1.5 x ULN and/or estimated glomerular filtration rate \<60 mL/min/1.73 m2 as determined by Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (2021) for those age ≥18 years and Bedside Schwartz Equation for those \<18 years
- Participants with chronic respiratory insufficiency and on long term/hull-time ventilatory assistance requiring at least 6 hours per day for at least 21 consecutive days.
- Participants with contraindication to corticosteroid or with conditions that could worsen in the presence of corticosteroids, as determined by the Investigator.
- Participants with active hepatitis B or C infection; HBsAg (+), or HCV RNA (+), or current antiviral therapy for either.
- Participants with HBcAb (+) who are not amenable for prophylactic anti-HBV therapy or pre-emptive therapy guided by serial HBV DNA monitoring during the corticosteroids therapy.
- Participants at high risk for tuberculosis reactivation during the corticosteroids therapy as determined by the Investigator.
- Participants with a known HIV infection
- Participants with serious intercurrent illness that, in the opinion of the Investigator, would preclude participation in the study or potentially decrease survival.
- Participants with recent history of or current drug or alcohol abuse in the past 12 months prior to screening.
- Participants with history of tibialis anterior biopsy within 12 weeks from Day 1 or planning to undergo tibialis anterior biopsies during the duration of this clinical trial.
- Participants with significant developmental delay, intellectual disability, or behavioral neuropsychiatric manifestations as determined by the Investigator.
- Participants with previous systemic corticosteroids treatment at doses of \>5 mg/day within 15 days of Day 1
- Participants with previous treatment with anti-myotonic medication within 15 days of Day 1
- Participants not suitable for participation, whatever the reason, as judged by the Investigator, including medical or clinical conditions, or participants potentially at risk of noncompliance to study procedures.
- Participants who have been classified as severe cardiac risk by the Investigator. The above information is not intended to contain all considerations relevant to a participant's potential participation in a clinical trial.

Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
