Pfizer snagged Fast Track designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the company’s Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) gene therapy treatment, PF-06939926.

Researchers at Technical University of Munich (TUM) recently developed a gene therapy that might cure Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

A little more than one year after Pfizer terminated the company’s studies of PF-06252616 as a potential treatment for Duchenne muscular dystrophy, Swiss pharma giant Roche is following suit with the terminated development of RG6206.
