Avidity Biosciences: Presentation and discussion on initial data from EXPLORE44 Clinical Trial

This webinar, hosted by CureDuchenne and Avidity Biosciences, presents the initial data from the EXPLORE 44 clinical trial. The trial evaluates the efficacy and safety of Dalzota (AOC 1044) for treating Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) in patients amenable to exon 44 skipping. Key findings include a significant increase in exon skipping and dystrophin production, with a notable reduction in creatine kinase levels, indicating potential muscle health improvements. The discussion also covers the future plans for the trial and the urgency to advance treatment options for DMD patients.
