New Delhi, Dec 11 (SocialNews.XYZ) The Delhi High Court (HC) has asked the Union government if it could release funds immediately so as to enable clinical trials for medicines that can help treat rare diseases like Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD).
The plea sought directions to provide the children suffering from rare diseases like DMD and Hunter's syndrome with free treatment.
The petitioner informed Justice Prathiba Singh that a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with respect to the indigenous development of therapies for rare diseases was signed between Biotechnology Industry Research Assistance Council and Hanugen Therapeutics Private Limited in January 2021.
As per the MoU, a multi-centric study for therapeutic evaluation with respect to DMD patients will be conducted by Hanugen.
The HC, however, noted that as per the agreement 50 per cent of the study would be funded by the Centre while the remaining will come from the company.
