FSHD: Debilitating Disease With No Approved Therapies

F U L C R U M T H E R A P E U T I C S

The Disease

Chronic, progressive genetic muscular disorder characterized by significant muscle cell death and fat infiltration into muscle tissue

Debilitating Symptoms

  • Significant impairment of upper extremity function and mobility
  • Many patients unable to work or live independently
  • Approximately 20% of affected individuals become wheelchair-bound

Treatment Options

No approved therapies for FSHD

Population

Second most common adult muscular dystrophy affecting approximately 30,000 individuals in the US*

= 1,000 patients

Disease Progression

Implementing innovative clinical outcome measures and metrics is necessary to quantify disease progression

  • Reachable workspace (RWS): Measure of disease progression
  • Muscle fat infiltration (MFI): Measure of muscle health

FSHD: Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy; DMD: Duchenne muscular dystrophy, SMA: Spinal muscular atrophy; FA: Friedreich's ataxia
