Thank you to Marissa Penrod, founder and CEO of Team Joseph, a Duchenne patient advocacy organization, for joining us for a powerful conversation on caregiving in Duchenne. Marissa and other Duchenne caregivers shared their experiences of caring for and supporting loved ones with Duchenne. They offered insights from Team Joseph’s newly released white paper “Engulfed in Caregiving.” This resulted from a Team Joseph research project and highlights the perspectives, hardships and triumphs of a diverse group of Duchenne caregivers. Sarepta is proud to be one of the supporters of this important work. Caregivers are a critical part of the Duchenne community, and it is vital for us to continually hear and understand their perspectives. The event underscores our patient mission and commitment to the community, and we are grateful for the time and learnings. Thank you!

Are you familiar with the North Star Ambulatory Assessment (NSAA)? Sarepta’s Senior Director of Global Medical Affairs, Rachel Salazar, PT, DPT, PhD, offers a clear explanation of the clinical outcome measurement tool designed specifically for people living with #Duchenne. By rating 17 different motor skill activities, doctors can keep an eye on how a child’s functional performance changes over time due to disease progression. As Rachel shares, kids typically reach their peak score and performance around 6 years of age before entering a decline in their functional skills. “If we look at 9-year-old with Duchenne, no change or even a one-point decline is rather unexpected because this child would be typically in the steep decline phase of his disease. And if the North Star holds steady rather than declining each year, then he may be retaining abilities that he was expected to lose due to his disease.” Watch the video to learn more and view Sarepta’s fact sheet outlining the complete list of 17 measured skills. https://bit.ly/3YjVFuG #raredisease
