Title:
RECOMBINANT FOLLISTATIN-FC FUSION PROTEINS AND USE IN TREATING DUCHENNE MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2017/152090
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The present invention provides, among other things, methods and compositions for treating muscular dystrophy, in particular, Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). In some embodiments, a method according to the present invention includes administering to an individual who is suffering from or susceptible to DMD an effective amount of a recombinant follistatin fusion protein such that at least one symptom or feature of DMD is reduced in intensity, severity, or frequency, or has delayed onset.
