Vamorolone

What this could lead to

If successful, this expanded access program provides continuous treatment for boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy while the drug is being reviewed for approval.

What could go wrong

This is an expanded access program, not a controlled trial, so results are observational. Vamorolone may not be approved, and long-term risks are still being studied.
