Competitive Landscape
In DMD, vamorolone competes directly with generic prednisone and deflazacort, which are cheap but have severe side effects. It also competes with novel genetic therapies (e.g., Sarepta's Elevidys) and other anti-inflammatory modalities. Its key differentiation is its first-in-class dissociative mechanism aiming to offer efficacy with a better tolerability profile.
