Award Description: The goal of this project is to develop a way to observe whether or not new therapies are effective in correcting the disease process in muscles of boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) without the need to take muscle biopsies. We will extend our past mouse studies to boys who are participating in the Phase 2a clinical trial of PTC124, a promising new drug for DMD boys with premature stop codons. The availability of a reliable, nondestructive monitoring method that can be routinely and repeatedly implemented in patients will greatly benefit clinical trials in muscle diseases.
