-LATE 1990 s Where Are We? - Total NIH funding for MD is $17M -No new drugs in development -Average lifespan for DMD is late teens -No guidelines for care -No pa@ent registries
Where Are We Now? -LATE 1990 s TOTAL NIH funding all MDs ($78M) >17 new drugs in DMD trials >Many others in preclinical development Care guidelines for DMD disseminated globally & update underway DMD Lifespan increased by 10+ years Natural History Studies, Registries and other drug development tools - Total NIH funding for MD is $17M -No new drugs in development -Average lifespan for DMD is late teens -No guidelines for care -No pa@ent registries
