Vamorolone is a synthetic corticosteroid designed to retain anti-inflammatory efficacy similar to glucocorticoids such as prednisolone, while reducing the side effects associated with standard corticosteroids. It is being developed primarily for use in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and other inflammatory disorders. As of 2024, vamorolone has received approval for DMD in several countries and remains under investigation for additional indications.
