| Description | Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD and spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) are the most common neuromuscular disorders of childhood. Both of them are progressive and significantly affects the length and quality of life. There are currently more than 200 active clinical trials investigating new drugs for DMD patients and over 100 for patients with SMA. For both DMD and SMA patients several drugs have already been approved by FDA and EMA. This article focuses on selected therapies in the clinical phase of testing. |
