Santhera and ReveraGen Announce New 2.5-year Treatment Data with Vamorolone in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
Pratteln, Switzerland, April 28, 2021 – Santhera Pharmaceuticals (SIX: SANN) and ReveraGen Biopharma announce new clinical data of 2.5-year treatment outcome with vamorolone in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). These Phase 2a long-term treatment data demonstrate
a maintenance of treatment effect, equivalent to a delay of about two years in decline for
time to stand (TTSTAND) velocity, and confirm safety and tolerability benefits of vamorolone over the 2.5-year follow up period.
Long-term treatment with vamorolone resulted in significantly fewer corticosteroid-associated adverse events than reported in other clinical trials with other steroids.

The claims are false: the purported remedies are not proven treatments for Covid-19, according to health experts. There is no evidence the “Samsung Alternative Medicine Institute” exists. Separately, the Samsung Medical Center, an affiliate of Samsung Group, said it had not issued the purported tips.

“Please read this… here is a list of Covid-19 prevention measures recommended by medical doctors,” the Korean-language claim reads in part.
