Summary
This study tested a drug called vamorolone in 54 boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), a muscle-weakening disease. The goal was to see if the drug is safe and can help control the disease with fewer side effects than standard steroids. Boys aged 2 to under 4 and 7 to under 18 took the drug for 12 weeks, and researchers monitored their health and muscle function.
