Duchenne Disease

This pilot study will investigate the potential efficacy of VM100, a nutritional supplement specifically formulated for patients with DMD, on quality of life and physical symptoms. Twenty patients (aged 8 an over) will be enrolled to undergo a 10-week placebo-controlled intervention with VM100. Outcomes will include validated questionnaires and qualitative interview to assess impact on mental, cognitive and mood related measures, as well as endurance and fatigue).

Examining two strategies as potential adjuvant therapies for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD); aerobic exercise training (to induce adaptations in skeletal muscle and improve cardiovascular health) and tadalafil, an FDA-approved vasodilator (to optimize blood flow and muscle perfusion which is impaired and often overlooked in DMD). Target: improved muscle function, vascular health, and DMD treatment.
