Foundation to Eradicate Duchenne, Inc. The Foundation to Eradicate Duchenne (FED) raises money to support the world's only clinical trials network for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD). The clinical trials network known as CINRG works with scientists all over the world on therapies for DMD - a fatal disease which scientists now say is tantalizingly close to being cured. For now, this clinical trials network prolongs the trajectory of the disease until a cure can be found. Funding this clinical trials network and the scientists with whom it works means that every dollar is critical in this race against time. The FED puts an overwhelming majority of the money it raises directly into research, which means that each dollar raised brings the boys suffering from DMD closer to the cure. In pursuit of the cure, FED has raised millions of dollars for the best DMD scientists and doctors around the world. Their efforts have launched clinical trials with drugs such as prednisone, deflazacort and pentoxifillin - drugs upon which Duchenne boys now rely to slow the progression of the disease.
