Question

What is the success rate of stem cell therapy for Muscular Dystrophy?

No pooled stem-cell success rate applies across different muscular dystrophies or products. Review the exact genotype, age and disease-stage criteria, comparator, motor and respiratory endpoints, loss to follow-up, serious adverse events and absolute effect.

What the evidence shows for Muscular Dystrophy

Some gene-based and pharmacological treatments are authorised for defined muscular-dystrophy subtypes and eligibility criteria, while many cell approaches remain preclinical or early clinical research. The 2025 NIH muscular-dystrophy research plan stresses subtype-specific evidence, safety, durability and post-authorisation monitoring. Evidence from one dystrophy, vector or gene product cannot validate a commercial stromal-cell or exosome offer.
