Welcome to the NeurologyLive® Mind Moments® podcast. Tune in to hear leaders in neurology sound off on topics that impact your clinical practice. In this episode, "Overviewing Consensus Guidelines to Standardize Gene Therapy Care in Duchenne," Barry Byrne, MD, chief medical advisor at the Muscular Dystrophy Association and director of the Powell Gene Therapy Center at the University of Florida, discusses newly published consensus guidelines from the MDA and Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy on the safe delivery and monitoring of gene therapy in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Byrne explains the rationale behind convening a global panel of experts, emphasizing the need for standardized practices in patient selection, administration, and follow-up care as gene therapy becomes more widely available. He highlights the importance of expanded multidisciplinary teams—including hematology, cardiology, nephrology, and immunology—in managing immune-related safety concerns, with particular attention to monitoring liver inflammation and emerging strategies such as rapamycin use. In addition, Byrne outlines how these guidelines address real-world challenges around access, including geographic barriers, language considerations, and financial constraints, while underscoring their role in shaping future gene therapy approaches as additional therapies move through development.

Capricor Therapeutics is asking the FDA to reconsider their rejection of a treatment for DMD cardiomyopathy with the return of Vinay Prasad. Rocket Pharmaceuticals' phase II trial has resumed after a patient death, and the Trump administration's tariffs and drug pricing policies are causing confusion in the pharmaceutical industry. Fedegari is now offering customized solutions for the bio/pharmaceutical industry. The American Academy of Pediatrics is recommending the COVID-19 vaccine for kids, and there are updates on various biotech developments. Opinion pieces discuss drug pricing and the viability of high-dose peptides.The American pharmaceutical industry has lost the trust of the people, with many viewing them as the 'bad guys' despite producing drugs in the U.S. for Americans. The industry faces challenges such as competition and changing regulations, with the Trump administration's trade policies adding to the confusion. Some companies are taking a platform strategy approach to drug development, using one molecule to target multiple diseases. Despite these challenges, there are opportunities for innovation and growth in the industry. Additionally, conflicts of interest in vaccine committees have been decreasing, and companies are making strategic moves such as forming partnerships and restructuring to adapt to the changing landscape. The industry continues to navigate uncertainty and seek ways to improve drug development and access for patients.
