When Doctors Say There Are No More Options There May Still Be Hope.
A diagnosis done for muscular dystrophy, spinal muscular atrophy, ALS, or any kind of rare condition is actually the most important, and the waiting lists for the clinical trials can stretch for years.
South Korea and Japan have emerged as the genuine destinations for the patients that have incurable and rare diseases. With Japan’s Act on Safety of Regenerative Medicine (ARMT), this rapid program was initiated for giving patients with intractable diseases or life-threatening diseases the advanced therapies with the evidence base that is still being gathered. The expanded program for ARMT in South Korea can provide similar access.
