The collaborative Trajectory Analysis Program (cTAP), a multi-stakeholder, pre-competitive global coalition in Duchenne muscular dystrophy today announced that Susan J. Ward, Ph.D., Executive Director of cTAP, will present at the 2018 ASA Biopharmaceutical Section Regulatory-Industry Statistics Workshop Annual Conference in Washington DC on Thursday, September 13, 2018 at 1:15 p.m. EST.

Debra Miller, CEO of CureDuchenne, a patient foundation in Duchenne that provided seed funding for cTAP and is a founding advocacy partner, said: “cTAP has built a strong collaborative analytics platform through which drug developers have a forum to harness their shared experience in problem solving; it’s great to see the conference organizers provide an opportunity for drug developers in rare disease to learn more about the cTAP model.”

The presentation slide deck will be available after the conference.

About Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a uniformly fatal, progressive muscle-wasting disease affecting about one in 3,500-6,000 male live births. Patients with Duchenne lack the ability to make dystrophin, a protein crucial to muscle function. As their muscles deteriorate, they progressively lose the ability to walk, feed themselves, turn over in bed, and ultimately to breathe. While there is no cure, the past decade has seen an explosion in research resulting in more than 15 therapies entering clinical development, with some receiving limited approval.
