New gene therapy shows promise in slowing Duchenne muscular dystrophy progression but has limitations.
Researchers are making progress in gene therapy for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), a genetic condition causing muscle weakness.
A recent phase 3 trial showed that delandistrogene moxeparvovec (Elevidys) may slow disease progression and preserve muscle health, based on MRI measurements.
However, the therapy, approved by the FDA in 2024, does not cure DMD and has limitations, including high costs and potential side effects like muscle and heart inflammation.
Further studies are needed to assess its long-term benefits and risks.
