This is a prospective observational study conducted to evaluate safety, tolerability, and functional outcomes of patients with DMD newly initiating oral givinostat or having started therapy within 6 months as part of routine clinical care in the US. The study has a planned maximum duration of 5 years for the first enrolled patients, including a 24-month enrollment period and a minimum of 2 years of follow-up.

Primary outcome measure(s)
Characterize the incidence of thrombocytopenia / decreased platelet counts in DMD patients treated with oral givinostat — From follow up (after first date of givinostat treatment) through end of study (up to 5 years) Incidence rate of thrombocytopenia (per 100 patient years of observation time) post index date
Characterize the frequency of thrombocytopenia / decreased platelet counts in DMD patients treated with oral givinostat — [Time Frame: From follow up (after first date of givinostat treatment) through end of study (up to 5 years)] Frequency and incidence proportion (overall and by maximum severity) of thrombocytopenia
Characterize severity of serious events thrombocytopenia / decreased platelet counts in DMD patients treated with oral givinostat — From follow up (after first date of givinostat treatment) through end of study (up to 5 years) Time to first thrombocytopenia event from index date
Characterize the incidence of serious events of bleeding in DMD patients treated with oral givinostat — From follow up (after first date of givinostat treatment) through end of study (up to 5 years) Incidence rate of serious bleeding events (per 100-patient years of observation time) post index date
Characterize the frequency of serious events of bleeding in DMD patients treated with oral givinostat — From follow up (after first date of givinostat treatment) through end of study (up to 5 years) Frequency and incidence proportion (overall and by maximum severity) of serious bleeding events
Characterize the severity of serious events of bleeding in DMD patients treated with oral givinostat — From follow up (after first date of givinostat treatment) through end of study (up to 5 years) Time to first serious bleeding event from index date
