About edasalonexent

Edasalonexent inhibits NF-kB, a protein that plays a fundamental role in skeletal and cardiac muscle disease in Duchenne. By inhibiting NF-kB, edasalonexent has the potential to decrease inflammation and fibrosis, promote muscle regeneration, and slow disease progression. Edasalonexent is being developed as a potential stand-alone therapy and also have the potential to be combined with dystrophin-targeted therapies.
