First Duchenne Patient Dosed in Microdystrophin Gene Therapy!

Our purpose in awarding this grant was to open and accelerate the field of gene therapy – a strategy that seemed impossible as a potential treatment for Duchenne back in the 1990s. If successful, it will provide systemic delivery of a microdystrophin construct that targets both skeletal and cardiac muscle achieved through one IV injection. The FDA has approved the protocol and now we have the first child dosed.
