Latest Research

Entrada Therapeutics has made a significant stride in the development of treatments for Duchenne muscular dystrophy. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has lifted a clinical hold, allowing the company to proceed with trials for their experimental therapy, ENTR-601-44. This decision by the FDA is a crucial step forward, as it enables the initiation of human trials to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the therapy. The clearance indicates that the FDA is satisfied with the preclinical data and the proposed trial design, which aims to address the underlying causes of the disease.

The advancement of ENTR-601-44 into clinical trials is a hopeful development for those affected by Duchenne muscular dystrophy. It represents progress in the search for more effective treatments and possibly a future cure. As the trials commence, the focus will be on monitoring patient responses and determining the potential of ENTR-601-44 to improve the quality of life for individuals with this condition.

On February 5, Muscular Dystrophy Canada had the honour of presenting the “Hero Award” to local teacher June Conlon of Tyendinaga Public School in the year of her retirement. June has gone above and beyond to ensure her student and Muscular Dystrophy Canada client, Jaxson, has been included in all school activities and is loved by all of her students and coworkers. Jaxson also received a surprise “Awareness Champion Award” for his fundraising achievements and his efforts in sharing his story. We are excited to continue recognizing champions like June and Jaxson in the neuromuscular community!

Congratulations to June and Jaxson!
