    11. Duchenne UK Family Funds

    We know that the people who are most passionate about raising money to find treatments and a cure for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy are those who live with it every day. That's why we at Duchenne UK want to help and support you - the friends and families of those living with DMD - with raising the money to accelerate treatments and to find a cure. When you set up a family fund, we ring-fence the money you raise for your fund and then let you decide which research projects you want to support. Every pound you raise will be invested into research.

    Repurposing is an exciting approach to drug development; it involves looking at existing medicines, and testing them to see if they could be effective in treating Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. Our host Clare Runacres speaks to Emily Crossley, Duchenne UK Co-founder, and Professor Dirk Fischer, from UKBB, the University Children’s Hospital in Basel, Switzerland about the work we are doing on repurposing medicines.

    6. SPECIAL EPISODE - Testosterone as a treatment for DMD with Prof Volker Straub

    In this podcast we speak with Prof Volker Straub about Testosterone, which is sometimes given to patients with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) who take steroids. Steroids are part of the recognised standard of care in treating Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD). But long-term use of steroids causes a number of side effects including delayed puberty. Testosterone is sometimes given to make boys begin going through puberty. There is a clinical trial running at the John Walton Muscular Dystrophy Research Centre (JWMDRC), led by Prof Volker Straub and Dr Claire Wood, treating 15 adolescents with DMD with testosterone to induce puberty. As well as looking at the effect of testosterone on pubertal development, growth, muscle strength and function, bone mineral density and body composition, the trial is looking at the mood, quality of life and well-being of patients to assess their satisfaction with the benefits of the treatment compared to the side effects. Duchenne UK has granted £228,562.51 to pay for the extension study of this trial to look at the longer term effects of testosterone treatment following earlier treatment to induce puberty. The extension study will investigate whether testosterone treatment to induce puberty will be enough to support long term testosterone production, or whether further treatment with testosterone is needed for patients on long-term steroids to keep producing testosterone, even if puberty was successfully induced.

    1. Decoding Duchenne - An Introduction To Duchenne UK

    In the first of our podcast series, our host Clare Runacres talks to Emily Crossley and Alex Johnson about why they co-founded the charity - Duchenne UK. They discuss their sons DMD diagnosis and the work the charity is doing to find treatments for Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Duchenne UK is a highly focused, ambitious and lean charity with a clear vision: to fund and accelerate treatments and a cure for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is a devastating muscle wasting disease and is the most common genetic killer of children worldwide. There is no treatment or cure. Children will be totally paralysed by their teens and won’t live beyond their 20s...But thanks to recent breakthroughs, we believe we can save them.
