We know that for parents of a child with #Duchenne or #Becker MD and individuals living with the disease, research must advance faster. That’s why we started CureDuchenne Link, a biobank that provides researchers with biosamples and data from annual surveys and your medical records. It’s a comprehensive resource for researchers, and easy to participate as a donor. Every year, CureDuchenne Link gathers important survey data, blood, and urine samples from participants with Duchenne, Becker, and carriers. This creates a rich collection of data that, when combined with medical records, provides a deep understanding of the disease over time. Want to partner with us for research? Email us at [email protected] and visit cureduchennelink.org for more info! #DuchenneResearch #Biobank #DMD #Duchenne #RESERACH

As a patient advocacy organization committed to bringing transformative treatments to all individuals with Duchenne and #Becker muscular dystrophies, CureDuchenne commends the FDA for putting in place a Platform Technology Designation Program. We recently provided input to the FDA on the draft guidance, as #CureDuchenne believes that the Platform Technology Designation will be extremely useful for companies developing exon skipping therapeutics, and will be critical to lower the barriers to developing exon skipping drugs for rarer #Duchenne mutations.

As an early investor in Dyne Therapeutics, CureDuchenne is pleased to share that Dyne announced positive data from their Phase 1/2 trial of DYNE-251 in individuals with #Duchenne amenable to skipping exon 51. Individuals treated with 20 mg/kg once every 4 weeks for 6 months showed a mean dystrophin expression of 3.7% of normal when unadjusted for muscle content; when adjusted for muscle contest, the mean was 8.72% of normal dystrophin. Improvements were observed in multiple functional endpoints in the 20 mg/kg cohort at 6 months, as well as the 10 mg/kg group which was escalated to 20 mg/kg during the open-label extension (6 months to 1 year). Dyne is initiating registrational cohorts and will update us later this year with their plans for pursuing FDA approval via the accelerated pathway. #exonskipping #CureDuchenne #DMD #FDA #ClinicalTrials https://lnkd.in/g94sfmix
