Could a simple urine test replace painful muscle biopsies?

NCT ID NCT05019625

Summary

This study aims to find less invasive ways to measure muscular dystrophy disease activity. Researchers will test whether urine and blood samples, along with painless muscle scans, can track the disease as effectively as current muscle biopsies. The goal is to develop better tools to monitor how patients respond to new treatments.
