Clinical trial results could lead to treatment of heart disease in Duchenne muscular dystrophy patients: "After boys and young men with Duchenne muscular dystrophy received cardiac progenitor cell infusions, medical tests indicated that the patients' hearts appeared improved, results from a new study show. Patients in the study also scored higher on arm strength tests after receiving the cell infusions.
Results from the HOPE Duchenne randomized clinical trial of 25 patients were presented today at the American Heart Association Scientific Sessions in Anaheim. The cardiac progenitor cells administered to the patients were contained in CAP-1002, the lead investigational therapy under development at Capricor Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: CAPR)."
