Objective To make a correctdiagnosis in theearly stage and avoid misdiagnosis, we analysedclinical data of patients with Duchennetype muscular dystrophy(DMD).
One big question: would the limited data Sarepta has so far collected from a very small clinical trial of its drug eteplirsen, a treatment for Duchenne muscular dystrophy that is caused by a very specific type of mutation, be enough to warrant filing with the Food and Drug Administration and perhaps even gain approval?
