Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Continuing our discussion with Ambassadors of the Cure FSHD for All initiative
Q: What would be a timetable for us to maybe get a drug?
Jones says treatments that may stop disease progression appear increasingly likely, but timing and access are uncertain. He distinguishes stopping further damage from the harder challenge of rebuilding muscle and restoring function.
Continuing our discussion with Ambassadors of the Cure FSHD for All initiative
Q: If I gave you a treatment, what could I do to measure in you that says it's working?
The guests describe individualized measures, including Seth's grip strength and fatigue, Sarah's ability to rise from the floor, and Eva's pain and mobility.
FSHD Biopharma --Please include us in your clinical trials (or at least allow expanded access!)
Q: What would you say to biotechs about expanding access and adjusting trial designs?
Be transparent about inclusion criteria, consider separate trial arms or expanded-access pathways that don't compromise data integrity, and recognize the potential for broader patient access to accelerate and improve outcomes.
FSHD Biopharma --Please include us in your clinical trials (or at least allow expanded access!)
Q: Why aren't more children and non-ambulatory patients included in trials right now?
Sponsors often cite safety concerns and regulatory hurdles, but patients and advocates argue that expanding inclusion is both ethical and feasible, with some programs already lowering age limits to 16 or 18 in certain trials.
Part 2 of our discussion with our teen FSHD advocates
Q: How should a parent talk about FSHD with their child?
The teens agree it's important for parents to be straightforward about the diagnosis and what to expect to foster better understanding and connections.
