  • Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) Agents
    Therapeutic Class Overview Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) Agents INTRODUCTION • Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is 1 of 4 conditions known as dystrophinopathies, which are inherited, X-linked myopathic disorders due to a defect in the dystrophin gene that results in the primary pathologic process of muscle fiber degradation. The hallmark symptom is progressive weakness (Darras 2018[a], Darras 2018[b], Muscular Dystrophy Association [MDA] 2019). The other 3 conditions include: Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD), which is a mild form of DMD; an intermediate presentation between BMD and DMD; and DMD-associated dilated cardiomyopathy, which has little or no clinical ○ skeletal or muscle disease (MDA 2019). • DMD symptom onset is in early childhood, usually between the ages of 2 and 3 years old. The proximal muscles are affected first, followed by the distal limb muscles. Generally, the lower external muscles will be affected before the upper. The affected child may have difficulties jumping, walking, and running (MDA 2019). • The prevalence of DMD ranges from 1 to 2 per 10,000 live male births; female-manifesting carriers are rarer, but can present with a range of symptoms that vary in their severities (Birnkrant et al 2018, Darras 2018[a], Emflaza Food and Drug Administration [FDA] Medical Review 2017). • The clinical course and lifespan of patients with DMD is relatively short. Individuals are usually confined to a wheelchair by age 13, and many die in their late teens or twenties from respiratory insufficiency or cardiomyopathy. Although survival until adulthood is more common now, very few patients survive past the 3rd decade (Darras 2018[a]).

  • The Use of Ataluren in the Effective Management of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
    Review Neuromuscular Diseases Early Diagnosis and Treatment – The Use of Ataluren in the Effective Management of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Eugenio Mercuri,1 Ros Quinlivan2 and Sylvie Tuffery-Giraud3 1. Catholic University, Rome, Italy; 2. Great Ormond Street Hospital and National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery, London, UK; 3. Laboratory of Genetics of Rare Diseases (LGMR), University of Montpellier, Montpellier, France DOI: https://doi.org/10.17925/ENR.2018.13.1.31 he understanding of the natural history of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is increasing rapidly and new treatments are emerging that have the potential to substantially improve the prognosis for patients with this disabling and life-shortening disease. For many, Thowever, there is a long delay between the appearance of symptoms and DMD diagnosis, which reduces the possibility of successful treatment. DMD results from mutations in the large dystrophin gene of which one-third are de novo mutations and two-thirds are inherited from a female carrier. Roughly 75% of mutations are large rearrangements and 25% are point mutations. Certain deletions and nonsense mutations can be treated whereas many other mutations cannot currently be treated. This emphasises the need for early genetic testing to identify the mutation, guide treatment and inform genetic counselling. Treatments for DMD include corticosteroids and more recently, ataluren has been approved in Europe, the first disease-modifying therapy for treating DMD caused by nonsense mutations. The use of ataluren in DMD is supported by positive results from phase IIb and phase III studies in which the treatment produced marked improvements in the 6-minute walk test, timed function tests such as the 10 m walk/run test and the 4-stair ascent/descent test compared with placebo.

Received: 3 December 2019; Accepted: 9 January 2020; Published: 12 January 2020 Abstract: Oxidative stress is a key player of the inflammatory cascade responsible for the initiation of ulcerative colitis (UC). Although the short chain quinone idebenone is considered a potent antioxidant and a mitochondrial electron donor, emerging evidence suggests that idebenone also displays anti-inflammatory activity. This study evaluated the impact of idebenone in the widely used dextran sodium sulphate (DSS)-induced mouse model of acute colitis. Acute colitis was induced in C57BL/6J mice via continuous exposure to 2.5% DSS over 7 days. Idebenone was co-administered orally at a dose of 200 mg/kg body weight. Idebenone significantly prevented body weight loss and improved the disease activity index (DAI), colon length, and histopathological score.

Immunogenicity Assessors Primary Assessor(s) Seth Thacker PhD Secondary Assessor (s) Daniela Verthelyi PhD MD Assessor Recommendation: The sponsor has submitted data for anti-dystrophin antibodies in the casimersen trials. These data were generated using assays that were developed for assessing anti-dystrophin antibodies in patients treated with eteplirsen and golodirsen and have already been deemed fit for use. The sponsor submitted anti-dystrophin ADA data for Study 4045-101, which had 12 patients enrolled No positive samples were found. The FPR for these assays in Study 4045-101 were 1.3%(IgG), 7.9% (IgE), and 39% (IgM) as calculated by the assessor. The sponsors has not submitted an assay for the detection of Casimersen-specific ADAs or provided a plan on how they assess the risk associated with the generation of novel epitopes in the dystrophin formed by exon 45 skipping. PMRs will be issued to the sponsor to develop and validate the assays and to assess the patients in study 4045-101 and 4045-301 for Abs to the product and to the peptide generated through the exon skipping strategy.
