I-ACT for Children and Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy co-hosted a stakeholder meeting on Sept. 9, 2019, to seek input on a draft platform trial protocol that is designed to allow multiple investigational treatments for Duchenne muscular dystrophy to be tested at one time – which could lead to more rapid completion of testing and approval of new therapies and minimize patients’ exposure to placebo. FDA’s Dr. Janet Woodcock and Dr. Billy Dunn were featured speakers at the meeting, which also was attended by researchers, parents, advocacy groups, industry representatives and other FDA scientists.
