=Capricor Therapeutics (CAPR) : positive data in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) drug



Capricor Therapeutics reports 'that teens and young men in the advanced stages of Duchenne muscular dystrophy experienced meaningful improvements in cardiac and upper limb function after a single dose of Capricor's lead investigational product, CAP-1002'
The late breaking abstract and results presented at the late breaking poster session describe the first six months of follow-up data from the randomized 12-month Phase I/II HOPE clinical trial of CAP-1002.
  • Regional left ventricular (LV) function significantly differed between treatment groups following a single dose of CAP-1002, as determined by assessments of systolic thickening of LV wall segments.
  • At six months, a statistically-significant increase in mean (standard deviation, or SD) change from baseline in inferior wall segments was observed with CAP-1002 (+31.2% (46.9)) compared to the usual care group (-8.8% (27.7)) (p=0.02). Six-month mean changes in anterior (+16.3 (46.5)) and lateral (+24.5 (51.2)) wall segments numerically favored CAP-1002 as compared to usual care ((-14.1 (24.9)) (p=0.11) and (-4.5 (35.0)) (p=0.24), respectively).
