FDA approval achieved for treatment of Duchenne’s muscular dystrophy

We’re proud to share the news that our clients have recently achieved FDA approval for their life saving treatment of Duchenne’s muscular dystrophy.

Duchenne’s muscular dystrophy, also known as DMD, is a progressive genetic disease, with a universally fatal outcome in children and no current approved treatment.  Over the course of two decades researchers have developed, and through Wrays have patented, a new method of treatment that is safe and effective – successfully arresting the disease’s progression.

In exciting news, the researchers have now achieved approval for the treatment before the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA).   Gaining FDA approval is a difficult, but critical, step in the path to delivery of the treatment to patients.

By working with Wrays and protecting their IP, the researchers were able to attract and make a commercial deal with an international biopharmaceutical therapeutics manufacturer – allowing  this desperately needed treatment to become a product soon available to children in need.
