Summary

This program provides access to an experimental drug, AOC 1044, for people with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) whose genetic mutation can be treated by skipping exon 44. The goal is to help control the disease by allowing the body to produce a shorter but still functional dystrophin protein. Participants must be 6 or older, live in the US, and have the specific genetic mutation. This is not a cure, but aims to slow disease progression.
