Myodys, a full-length dystrophin plasmid vector for Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophy gene therapy

Curr Opin Mol Ther. 2008 Feb;10(1):86-94.

Abstract

Transgene SA is developing Myodys, a non-viral plasmid gene therapy for the potential treatment of Duchenne muscular dystrophy and Becker muscular dystrophy. Phase I clinical trials have been completed, and a phase II clinical trial is planned.
