Muscular Dystrophy (Duchenne & Becker)

Genetic disorder causing progressive muscle weakness due to dystrophin defect.
Early onset (Duchenne) = severe | Later onset (Becker) = milder.

Regenxbio, Solid report data with Duchenne gene therapies Regenxbio and Solid Bio say their gene therapies for Duchenne muscular dystrophy show no sign so far of the liver issues seen with Sarepta's Elevidys.

This week saw both #Regenxbio and #SolidBio report new #data with their #genetherapy candidates for #Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), vying to join Sarepta's Elevidys on the market.

Proud to see this work from Dr. Pesco reviewing the expanding therapeutic landscape in DMD.
Important synthesis of dystrophin restoration and emerging disease-modifying strategies as the field rapidly evolves.
