   Outcome:  Indian doctors continue to apply stem cell therapies in the clinic for Duchenne mitigation. Autologous stem cell administration for Duchenne muscular   dystrophy is now the standard of care in India. The Neurogen Brain and Spine Clinic has treated over 1000 Duchenne patients with bone marrow derived stem cells and,   in peer-reviewed journal research, has estimated a life extension of more than five years. No country has a similar record or data.

The use of umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells in patients with   muscular dystrophies: Results from compassionate use in real-life settings. STEM CELLS Transl Med. 2021;1-12.      https://academic.oup.com/stcltm/article/10/10/1372/6515807     

  Outcome: In this study, we administered advanced therapy medicinal product containing umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (UC_MSCs) to   22 patients with   muscular dystrophies. Patients received one to five intravenous and/or intrathecal injections per treatment course in up to two courses   every two months. Four standard   doses of 10, 20, 30, or 40 106 UC-MSCs per injection were used; the aproximate dose per kilogram was 1 106 UC-   MSCs. Muscle strength was measured with a set of   CQ  Dynamometer computerized force meters (CQ Elektronik System, Czernica, Poland). Statistical   analysis of muscle strength in the whole group showed significant   improvement in the right upper limb (+4.0 N); left hip straightening (+4.5 N) and   adduction (+0.5 N); right hip straightening (+1.0 N), bending (+7.5 N), and adduction (+2.5 N); right knee straightening (+8.5 N); left shoulder revocation     (=13.0 N), straightening (+5.5 N), and bending (+6.5 N); right shoulder adduction (+3.0 N), revocation (+10.5 N), and bending (+5 N); and right elbow   straightening (+9.5 N); all these differences were statistically significant.

N. (2018).

  Outcome: (Nine patients total, these are representative)

   Patient 1                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               

 Based on measurements taken after the first injection, the patient's FVC had increased up to 23% in the second month and raised to 57% at the end of the ninth month.   The FEV1 level had increased up to 9% in the second month after the ninth month, it raised to 41%.

  Patient 2                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    

  After the first injection, patient number 2's FVC had increased up to 12% in the second month and raised to 28% at the end of the ninth month.   Accordingly, the FEV1   level had increased up to 4% and 32% in the same period of FVC. The EF level had dropped down to 10% at the end of the second month and 3% at the end of the ninth   month.

  Patient 4                                                                                                                                                                                                             

  In respect to the respiratory tests, the patient's FVC had increased up to 7% in the second month and raised to 57% at the end of the ninth month after   the first MSC   injection. The FEV1 level had increased up to 6% in the second month and after the ninth month it raised to 58%. The EF level had dropped down to 14% at the end of   thesecond month and 15% at the end of the ninth month. Although an increaase of 6% was measured for CK level at the end   of the first year after the beginning of the   treatment, a dramatic decrease of 66% was measured at the initiation of the treatment, a dramatic reduction   of 97% at the end of the first year and 62% at the end of     the second year were measured by means of CK levels.
