Ongoing therapeutic trials and outcome measures for Duchenne muscular dystrophy

Abstract: Muscular dystrophy is a heterogeneous group of genetic disorders characterised by progressive muscle tissue degeneration. No effective treatment has been discovered for these diseases. Preclinical and clinical studies aimed at the development of new therapeutic approaches have been carried out, primarily in subjects affected with dystrophinopathies (Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophy). In this review, we outline the current therapeutic approaches and past and ongoing clinical trials, highlighting both the … Show more

“…DMD is an inherited X-linked muscular dystrophy generated due to the mutations in DMD gene, encoding Dystrophin protein. As discussed above, not only one specific mutation but rather combinatorial effects [25,[48][49][50][51][52]. But none of these approaches alone can cure the disease completely, majorly because in Dp malfunctioning or deficiency, not only DAPC mediated mechanical support gets destabilized but also a drastic change occurs in the flux of ion current through the ion channels in cell membrane [44].…”

“…Até o momento não existe cura para a DMD. Entretanto, essa doença requer medidas antecipatórias e preventivas, bem como, o acompanhamento especializado neuromuscular, ortopédico, cardíaco, respiratório e de reabilitação para abordar os aspectos primários e secundários, a fim de contribuir com a história natural da doença, com a qualidade de vida e otimizar as habilidades funcionais de seus pacientes (Janssen et al, 2014;Govoni et al, 2013;Bushby et al, 2010;Bushby et al, 2009).…”

“…Entretanto, é necessário o monitoramento dos possíveis efeitos colaterais, tais como, hipertensão arterial, supressão adrenal/ imunológica, ganho de peso corpóreo, retardo no crescimento, desmineralização óssea e aumento do risco de fraturas e catarata (Govoni et al, 2013;Bushby et al, 2009). Estudos mostram que a corticoterapia prolonga a capacidade de deambular por, pelo menos, dois anos e também atrasa a insuficiência respiratória restritiva, a escoliose e, em menor escala, o envolvimento cardíaco (Zanoteli, 2014;Silva et al, 2012;Parreira et al, 2010).…”
