Summary

This early-phase trial tested a CRISPR-based gene therapy (HG302) in 4 boys aged 4 to 8 with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), a severe muscle-wasting disease. The therapy aims to restore the missing dystrophin protein in muscle cells using a single intravenous injection. The main goal was to check safety, while also measuring how much dystrophin protein was produced and whether muscle function improved.
