New hope for duchenne hearts: experimental drug targets leading cause of death
NCT ID NCT03340675
Summary
This study tested ifetroban, an oral medication, to see if it could help control heart damage in boys and young men with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Heart problems are now the leading cause of death for people with DMD. Forty-six participants took either the drug or a placebo daily for one year, with some continuing in an extended treatment phase. Researchers measured heart function, breathing, and quality of life to see if the treatment helped.
