About These DMD Clinical Trial Statistics
These charts summarize the Duchenne clinical trials maintained in the DMD Warrior catalog. They are intended for advocacy, research awareness, and high-level comparison — for example, how many trials run in a given country, which phases dominate, or how research splits across therapeutic approaches.
The country chart counts trials with at least one study site in each location; a single trial may appear in more than one country. The sponsor country chart reflects where the trial sponsor is headquartered, as entered in the admin catalog, and highlights which nations are leading treatment development for Duchenne.
Status and phase charts show how studies are distributed across recruitment states and clinical phases. The therapeutic approach chart groups trials into standardized categories such as gene therapy and exon skipping so trends are easier to read than raw study titles alone.
All figures are derived from the same trial records shown in Trial Search and Active DMD Clinical Studies. The catalog was last updated August 11, 2026; counts change when new trials are added or existing records are revised in the admin panel.
