Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a severe and progressive disorder caused by mutations in the dystrophin (DMD) gene that lead to malfunction or absence of dystrophin. This protein stabilizes the ...
Children born with the degenerative disease have a genetic mutation that stops them producing dystrophin, a protein that is vital for muscle strength and function. The same disorder also occurs in ...
Indicated for patients with a confirmed mutation of the dystrophin gene amenable to exon 51 skipping, the drug could be used in around 13% of the disease population. Sarepta’s share price almost ...
SRP-5051 is designed to bind to exon 51 of dystrophin pre-mRNA, resulting in exclusion of this exon during mRNA processing in patients with genetic mutations amenable to exon 51 skipping. With this ...
Sarepta Therapeutics has ended development of a late-phase Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) drug candidate over a safety problem. The safety signal deprived Sarepta of a near-term shot at accelerated ...
Duchenne muscular dystrophy is caused by pathogenic variants in the DMD gene that lead to a lack of functional dystrophin and muscle loss. Delandistrogene moxeparvovec delivers a gene that codes ...
US biotech Sarepta will continue to be responsible for clinical development and manufacturing of the drug SRP-9001, also known as (AAVrh74.MHCK7.micro-dystrophin),with global clinical development ...
