  • Publication number: 20220296631
    Abstract: A method of modifying muscle or limb performance in a subject with or at risk of a condition associated with muscle atrophy, muscle fatty tissue, or pseudohypertrophy or a muscular dystrophy, by administering a pharmaceutical composition an inhibitory oligonucleotide to CD49d sufficient to modify one or more markers, signs or parameters of muscle fat, muscle performance or function, or limb performance or function. A method comprising the following steps: (i) determining the level of CD4+CD49d+ T cells in a blood sample from the subject; (ii) administering a course of antisense oligonucleotide and repeating step (i) at least once towards the end of the dosing period; (iii) within one week of dose completion repeat step (i); (iv) processing the results to determine whether the subject has or has not displayed a post-dose completion rebound, stability or loss in the level of CD4+CD49d+ T cells.
