Publication: Ataluren delays loss of ambulation and respiratory decline in nonsense mutation Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) patients

This research article, published in the Journal of Comparative Effectiveness Research, provides results from a study investigating the efficacy of a mutation-specific therapy in delaying loss of ambulation (LoA) and respiratory function in patients with nonsense mutation DMD (nmDMD)

  • Learn about the demographics of patients enrolled in the long-term Phase 3 propensity score-matched study
  • Explore the data on age at LoA in the treated vs untreated populations
  • Understand the decline in lung function, as measured by reduction in predicted forced vital capacity to <60% across the 2 groups
