In this first episode of the CMT Research Foundation’s new video series that asks and answers the toughest questions about CMT treatments, leading research experts will have you on the edge of your seat as they share when patients can expect treatments for CMT and how they can participate in accelerating progress.
Unlike other neuromuscular diseases, CMT patients have no approved treatments. See how we’re applying breakthroughs in SMA to advance CMT drug development.

The CMT Research Foundation is pleased to announce that our partner DTx Pharma just completed the second milestone in a study we’re funding which uses their proprietary technology to suppress the overexpression of PMP22, the protein that causes CMT1A. Their work has...
The CMT Research Foundation is pleased to announce a new partnership with The Jackson Laboratory that will help us better understand CMT1B and potentially lead to the discovery of treatments. CMT1B is the third most common form of CMT. It’s caused by a defect in the...
Our partners at DTx Pharma continue to make great progress on suppressing the overexpression of PMP22, which causes CMT1A. DTx Pharma’s proprietary technology has the potential to render RNA-based therapeutics such as ASO and siRNA more potent, safer and longer-acting...
CMT Research Foundation Scientific Advisory Board members found a new gene which causes CMT2.
Acceleron recently announced that treatment with ACE-083 in patients with CMT did not demonstrate functional improvement in the Phase 2 trial. ACE-083 is a drug which is injected locally into a muscle in order to stimulate growth of the injected muscle....
In February 2020, Dr. Kleopa completed milestone 2 of the 24-month project and the results continue to be encouraging. The goal during this 6-12 month period of the project was to further optimize the amount of PMP22 gene silencing in a mouse model of CMT1A. Dr....
Shift to Develop and Analyze Novel Series of Drugs Designed to Control Expression of PMP22 Gene The CMT Research Foundation (CMTRF), a nonprofit focused solely on delivering treatments and cures for Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, today announced it has partnered with...
