Clinical Trials
The Duchenne Program at UMass Chan is committed to providing the best possible care today while helping to develop the treatments of tomorrow.
Our ultimate goal is a world without Duchenne muscular dystrophy. It takes teamwork, dedication, and careful science to get there, and we are committed to being a part of the solution. To help advance new potential treatments, we’re participating in a variety of clinical trials.
Check this page regularly, as we are building our clinical trials program and will be adding more trials in the near future. If you are interested in any of the clinical trials below, please email dmdresearchprogram@umassmed.edu.
