There is no therapy approved specifically to treat DMD cardiomyopathy; therefore, development of novel therapeutics that can slow or stop its progression is of the utmost importance,\u201d said Jonathan Soslow, M.D., MSCI, Professor of Pediatrics (Cardiology) at Vanderbilt University Medical Center and lead author of the abstract. \u201cWhile the study suggests benefit across all treated patients, the most pronounced improvements in ventricular function were seen in the cardiomyopathy subgroup. Patients on therapy also showed slower progression of scar aggregation in their hearts. As cardiologists, we watch the scar increase and the heart function decrease year after year in patients with Duchenne. Seeing signals of stabilization for both is encouraging, and it is the combination we would want from a cardiac therapy in Duchenne.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\u201cThe one-year HOPE-3 results were published in <em>The Lancet<\/em>, and these cardiac findings have now received AHA\u2019s Outstanding Research Award in Pediatric Cardiology \u2013 independent recognition of the strength of these data. Protecting the heart remains one of the most urgent unmet needs in Duchenne, and we believe Deramiocel could be an important tool in addressing it.

It is caused by the absence of functional dystrophin, a key structural protein in muscle cells. DMD affects approximately 15,000 individuals in the United States and primarily impacts boys. Over time, deterioration of the heart muscle leads to cardiomyopathy and heart failure, the leading cause of death in DMD. There is no cure, and treatment options remain limited.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n        <strong>About Deramiocel<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Deramiocel (CAP-1002) consists of allogeneic cardiosphere-derived cells (CDCs), a rare population of cardiac cells that have been shown in preclinical and clinical studies to exert immunomodulatory and anti-fibrotic actions in the preservation of skeletal and cardiac muscle function in muscular dystrophies such as DMD. CDCs act by secreting extracellular vesicles known as exosomes, which target macrophages and alter their expression profile to adopt a healing rather than pro-inflammatory phenotype. For the treatment of DMD, Deramiocel holds Orphan Drug, RMAT and Rare Pediatric Disease designations in the U.S., and Orphan Drug and ATMP designations in Europe. The Rare Pediatric Disease designation may qualify Capricor for a Priority Review Voucher upon approval.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n        <strong>About Capricor Therapeutics<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Capricor Therapeutics (NASDAQ: CAPR) is a biotechnology company dedicated to advancing cell and exosome-based therapeutics for the treatment of rare diseases. Our lead product candidate, Deramiocel, is an allogeneic cardiac-derived cell therapy in late-stage development for the treatment of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), evaluated in clinical studies for its potential to preserve skeletal and cardiac muscle function.
