- Registration Number
- NCT02285673
- Lead Sponsor
- Acibadem University
- Brief Summary
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a genetic disorder caused by an absence of dystrophin and characterized by progressive muscle degeneration. There is no cure for DMD at present but, there are several strategies under-researched for treatment of DMD such as steroid treatment, gene theraphy, exon skipping, stop codon read through and gene repair, cell theraphy and theraphy with drug that help to produce utrophin protein.
The aim of this study is investigate the eficacy of human umblical cord mesenchymal stem cells on DMD and understanding if wild type gene can be transfered to the patient.
