Abstract

The disclosure relates to methods and compositions including p38 kinase inhibitors and agents that regulate expression of DUX4 and downstream genes including but not restricted to ZSCAN4, LEUTX, PRAMEF2, TRIM43, MBD3L2, KHDC1L, RFPL2, CCNA1, SLC34A2, TPRX1, PRAMEF20, TRIM49, PRAMEF4, PRAME6, PRAMEF15, or ZNF280A. Methods useful for treating a disease associated with abnormal DUX4 and downstream gene expression (e.g., Fascioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy) are disclosed.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method of treating facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy in a patient in need thereof, comprising orally administering to the patient a therapeutically effective amount of a compound represented by Formula (V′): 
       
         
           
           
               
               
           
         
       
       or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. 
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , comprising administering to the patient 15 mg of the compound twice daily. 
     
     
         3 . A method of treating facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy in a patient in need thereof, comprising orally administering to the patient, twice daily, a pharmaceutically acceptable tablet comprising a therapeutically effective amount of a compound represented by Formula (V′): 
       
         
           
           
               
               
           
         
       
       or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient. 
     
     
         4 . A method of treating facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy in a patient in need thereof, comprising orally administering to the patient, twice daily, a pharmaceutically acceptable tablet comprising 15 mg of a compound represented by Formula (V′): 
       
         
           
           
               
               
           
         
       
       and a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient.
