Duchenne Clinical Trials & Drug Development
In rare diseases such as Duchenne, where the disease population is small, the drug development process can vary from that of more common diseases, and totally new treatment approaches such as gene therapies are emerging. Therefore, it is critical that families accurately understand the process and how they can help support—and possibly benefit from—the development of treatments and cures.
