ELEVIDYS addresses the absence of dystrophin1

ELEVIDYS enabled statistically significant expression of functional micro-dystrophin in treated patients across studies1

ELEVIDYS micro-dystrophin expression at 12 weeks in 3 studies
ELEVIDYS micro-dystrophin expression at 12 weeks in 3 studies

* All patients received 1.33 x 1014 vg/kg, as measured by ddPCR.  

† Change from baseline was statistically significant.  

‡ Adjusted for muscle content. Control was the level of wild-type (normal) dystrophin in normal muscle.

   

ddPCR=droplet digital polymerase chain reaction.

Patients with Duchenne typically have little to no endogenous dystrophin3

Assessment of ELEVIDYS micro-dystrophin levels can be meaningfully influenced by differences in sample processing, analytical technique, reference materials, and quantitation methodologies. Therefore, valid comparisons of ELEVIDYS micro-dystrophin measurements obtained from different assays cannot be made.1

Impact on motor function

Patients treated with ELEVIDYS scored higher on the NSAA, compared with placebo. While results favored ELEVIDYS, they did not reach statistical significance.1

LS=least square; NSAA=North Star Ambulatory Assessment.

Similar results were reported in another completed multicenter trial consisting of 41 ambulatory males aged 4 to 7 years.1,2,24

The mean change (LS) in NSAA total score from baseline to 48 weeks was 1.7 (95% CI: 0.5 to 3.0) in the ELEVIDYS group (n=19) compared with 0.9 (95% CI: -0.3 to 2.2) in the placebo group (n=21). The 0.8-point difference did not reach statistical significance (P=0.37)

The NSAA provides a broad assessment of physical function using a 3-point scoring method (0=inability, 1=ability with assistance, 2=complete independence). Scoring may limit the sensitivity of NSAA to changes over short time spans14

Patients treated with ELEVIDYS demonstrated a clinically relevant change in the ability to rise from the floor and walk/run compared with placebo1,28

Indication

ELEVIDYS is indicated for the treatment of ambulatory patients 4 years of age and older with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) who have a confirmed mutation in the DMD gene.

Limitations of Use
ELEVIDYS is not recommended in patients with:

  • Preexisting liver impairment (defined as gamma-glutamyl transferase [GGT] > 2 x upper limit of normal or total bilirubin > the upper limit of normal not due to Gilbert's syndrome) or active hepatic viral infection due to the high risk of acute serious liver injury and acute liver failure.
  • Recent vaccination (within 4 weeks of treatment) due to immunogenicity and potential safety concerns.
  • Active or recent (within 4 weeks) infections due to safety concerns.

Please see full Prescribing Information, including Boxed Warning, and Medication Guide.

Important Safety Information, including Boxed Warning

BOXED WARNING: Acute Serious Liver Injury and Acute Liver Failure

Acute serious liver injury, including life-threatening and fatal acute liver failure, has occurred.
Patients with preexisting liver impairment may be at higher risk. 

Prior to infusion, assess liver function by clinical examination and laboratory testing. Administer systemic corticosteroids before and after ELEVIDYS infusion. Continue to monitor liver function weekly for the first 3 months after infusion and continue until results are unremarkable. 

Instruct patients to maintain proximity to an appropriate healthcare facility, as determined by the healthcare provider, for at least 2 months following ELEVIDYS infusion.

Obtain prompt consultation with a specialist (e.g., gastroenterologist or hepatologist) if acute serious liver injury or impending acute liver failure is suspected.

CONTRAINDICATION
ELEVIDYS is contraindicated in patients with any deletion in exon 8 and/or exon 9, including a deletion of any portion or the entirety of these exons, in the DMD gene. 

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
Acute Serious Liver Injury and Acute Liver Failure
See Boxed Warning.

  • Acute serious liver injury marked by elevations of liver enzymes (e.g., GGT, ALT) and total bilirubin and acute liver failure has occurred with ELEVIDYS. Onset of the liver injury typically begins within 8 weeks of ELEVIDYS administration. In non-ambulatory patients treated with ELEVIDYS, acute liver failure with fatal outcome has occurred in the clinical and post-marketing settings.
  • Life-threatening mesenteric vein thrombosis, complicated by bowel ischemia and necrosis, and portal hypertension have been reported following acute liver injury associated with ELEVIDYS in a non-ambulatory patient.
  • Patients with preexisting liver impairment, chronic hepatic condition, or acute liver disease (e.g., acute hepatic viral infection) may be at higher risk of acute serious liver injury or acute liver failure. Postpone ELEVIDYS administration in patients with acute liver disease until resolved or controlled.
  • Systemic corticosteroid treatment is recommended for patients before and after ELEVIDYS infusion. Adjust corticosteroid regimen when indicated.

Serious infections

  • Increased susceptibility to serious infections may occur due to concomitant administration of corticosteroid regimen and additional immunosuppressants, and ELEVIDYS. Serious respiratory infections, including with fatal outcomes, have occurred in patients taking immunosuppressant corticosteroids required for ELEVIDYS administration.
  • Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of infection before and after ELEVIDYS administration and treat appropriately.
  • Administer immunizations according to best clinical practices and immunization guidelines prior to initiation of the corticosteroid regimen required before ELEVIDYS infusion.
  • Avoid administration of ELEVIDYS to patients with active infections.

Myocarditis

  • Acute, serious, life-threatening myocarditis and troponin-I elevations have been observed within 24 hours to more than 1 year following ELEVIDYS infusion.
  • If a patient experiences myocarditis, those with pre-existing left ventricle ejection fraction (LVEF) impairment may be at higher risk of adverse outcomes.
  • Monitor troponin-I before ELEVIDYS infusion and weekly for the first month following infusion and continue monitoring if clinically indicated, until results return to near baseline levels or stabilize.
  • More frequent monitoring may be warranted in the presence of cardiac symptoms, such as chest pain or shortness of breath.
  • Advise patients to contact a physician immediately if they experience cardiac symptoms.

Infusion-related Reactions

  • Infusion-related reactions, including hypersensitivity reactions and anaphylaxis, have occurred during or up to several hours following ELEVIDYS administration. Closely monitor patients during and for at least 3 hours after the end of infusion. If symptoms of infusion-related reactions occur, slow or stop the infusion and give appropriate treatment. Once symptoms resolve, the infusion may be restarted at a lower rate.
  • ELEVIDYS should be administered in a setting where treatment for infusion-related reactions is immediately available.
  • Discontinue infusion for anaphylaxis. 

Immune-mediated Myositis

  • Immune-mediated myositis, including serious and life-threatening events, has occurred approximately 1 month following ELEVIDYS infusion. Signs and symptoms include severe muscle weakness, including dysphagia, dyspnea, dysphonia, and hypophonia.
  • Severe to life-threatening immune-mediated myositis has been reported in patients with deletions including portions of exons 1-17 and/or exons 59-71 of the DMD gene.
  • Regardless of genetic mutation, advise patients to contact a physician immediately if they experience any unexplained increased muscle pain, tenderness, or weakness, including dysphagia, dyspnea, dysphonia, or hypophonia, as these may be symptoms of myositis. Consider additional immunomodulatory treatment based on patient's clinical presentation and medical history if these symptoms occur.

Preexisting Immunity against AAVrh74

  • In AAV-vector based gene therapies, preexisting anti-AAV antibodies may impede transgene expression at desired therapeutic levels. Following treatment with ELEVIDYS, all patients developed anti-AAVrh74 antibodies.
  • Perform baseline testing for the presence of anti-AAVrh74 total binding antibodies prior to ELEVIDYS administration.
  • ELEVIDYS administration is not recommended in patients with elevated anti-AAVrh74 total binding antibody titers ≥1:400.

ADVERSE REACTIONS

  • The most common adverse reactions (incidence ≥5%) reported in clinical studies were vomiting, nausea, liver injury, pyrexia, thrombocytopenia, and troponin-I increased.
