- Net product revenues for the first quarter 2025 totaled
$611.5 million, a 70% increase over the same quarter of the prior
year
- ELEVIDYS net product revenue for the first quarter totaled
$375.0 million; Royalty revenue from the sales of ELEVIDYS by Roche
for the quarter totaled $4.0 million
- Revised 2025 total net product revenues guidance to $2.3 to
$2.6 billion
- Meaningfully advanced multiple clinical candidates in
limb-girdle muscular dystrophy portfolio
Sarepta Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:SRPT), the leader in
precision genetic medicine for rare diseases, today reported
financial results for the first quarter 2025.
“In the first quarter, we achieved net product revenue of $611.5
million, a 70% increase over the same quarter prior year; our PMO
franchise performed well at $236.5 million; and ELEVIDYS achieved
$375.0 million, growing at 180% over the same quarter prior year.
However, we also faced headwinds in the quarter. While we are
taking a variety of actions to address and resolve these
challenges, we have adjusted our guidance for 2025 to $2.3 billion
to $2.6 billion,” said Doug Ingram, president and chief executive
officer, Sarepta Therapeutics. “The broader biotech market has also
faced significant pressure in the first quarter of 2025.
Fortunately, as an organization with four life-changing therapies,
significant revenue, and a deep pipeline, Sarepta is
well-positioned to navigate these chaotic times. To that end, in
addition to driving the launch of ELEVIDYS and the continued
performance of our three approved PMO therapies, we continue to
invest in our pipeline and look forward to a significant number of
LGMD gene therapy approvals in the coming few years. We are also
advancing our siRNA platform and look forward to proof of concept
and proof of biology readouts later this year in both our DM1 and
FSHD1 programs.”
Corporate Highlights:
- In the first quarter Sarepta closed its global licensing and
collaboration agreement with Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
(“Arrowhead”). The agreement includes global rights to four
clinical-stage and three preclinical-stage programs in muscle,
central nervous system, and rare pulmonary disorders, including
potential best-in-class siRNA-based treatments for DM1 and FSHD1.
The agreement adds meaningfully to Sarepta’s mid- and early-stage
pipeline, complementing the Company’s existing leadership in
Duchenne muscular dystrophy and limb-girdle muscular dystrophies
and gene therapy, while adding new indications and expanding into
adjacent therapeutic areas. Later this year the Company plans to
share data from the candidates in development for FSHD1 and
DM1.
- Pipeline progress for multiple of Sarepta's limb-girdle
muscular dystrophy programs:
- SRP-9005 for LGMD type 2C/R5: Following input from the
FDA’s Office of Therapeutic Products (OTP), the Company is cleared
to proceed with dosing in Study SRP-9005-101 (COMPASS) in the U.S.
COMPASS is Sarepta’s first-in-human clinical study of SRP-9005, an
investigational gene therapy for LGMD type 2C/R5, or
gamma-sarcoglycanopathy.
- SRP-9004 for LGMD type 2D/R3: Enrollment and dosing is
complete in Study SRP-9004-102 (DISCOVERY). DISCOVERY is a phase 1,
proof-of-concept study evaluating safety and expression of the
alpha-sarcoglycan protein after treatment with SRP-9004, an
investigational gene therapy for the treatment of LGMD type 2D/R3,
or alpha-sarcoglycanopathy.
- SRP-9003 for LGMD type 2E/R4: Enrollment and dosing is
complete in Study SRP-9003-301 (EMERGENE). EMERGENE is a phase 3
clinical trial of SRP-9003 (bidridistrogene xeboparvovec) for the
treatment of LGMD type 2E/R4, or beta-sarcoglycanopathy. EMERGENE
is a global study and the primary endpoint is the biomarker
expression of beta-sarcoglycan protein. A pre-Biologics License
Application (BLA) meeting has occurred and the OTP has confirmed
eligibility for the accelerated approval pathway for the program.
Sarepta remains on track to submit a BLA to the U.S. FDA in the
second half of 2025.
- 2025 MDA Clinical and Scientific Conference: Sarepta
showcased progress across its portfolio of approved and pipeline
therapies for Duchenne and limb-girdle muscular dystrophy with 11
abstracts and two oral presentations. The oral presentations
included:
- Results from the 2-year EMBARK and 3-year pooled analyses
indicating stabilization or slowing of disease progression compared
with well-matched external control assessed by functional outcomes
predictive for delaying loss of ambulation.
- Two-year muscle MRI data, from a subset of patients in EMBARK
Part 1, showing stabilization or minimal progression of underlying
muscle pathology which remains consistent with functional
benefits.
All of the posters and presentations are
available on the Company’s website, here.
- Sarepta remains on track to achieve robust revenue growth in
2025 and maintain a strong balance sheet.

Revenues Total revenues were $744.9 million for
the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to $413.5
million for the same period of 2024, an increase of $331.4 million.
The increase primarily reflects an increase of $241.0 million in
net product revenue of ELEVIDYS as a result of its expanded label
approval in June 2024. In addition, collaboration revenues
increased $64.0 million related to the $112.0 million of
collaboration revenue recognized related to F. Hoffman-La Roche
Ltd.'s (“Roche”) expiration of an option for a program during the
first quarter of 2025, as compared to $48.0 million of
collaboration revenue in 2024 related to Roche’s declined option to
acquire the ex-US rights to an external, early-stage Duchenne
development program. Furthermore, contract manufacturing revenues
and royalty revenues increased $11.6 million and $3.8 million,
respectively, associated with an increase in commercial ELEVIDYS
supply delivered to Roche as well as royalty revenue from sales of
ELEVIDYS by Roche, respectively.
Cost of sales (excluding amortization of in-licensed
rights) Cost of sales (excluding amortization of in-license
rights) were $137.6 million for the three months ended March
31, 2025, as compared to $50.6 million for the same period of 2024,
an increase of $87.0 million. This increase primarily reflects an
increase in cost of sales related to ELEVIDYS as we consume
previously expensed inventory, an increased demand for ELEVIDYS
following the expanded label approval in June 2024, as well as an
increase in cost of sales related to products sold to Roche under
the Roche collaboration agreement, partially offset by a decrease
in the write-offs of certain batches of products not meeting
quality specifications for the three months ended March 31, 2025,
as compared to the same period of 2024.
Operating expenses and others Research and development
expenses were $773.4 million for the three months ended March
31, 2025, as compared to $200.4 million for the same period of
2024, an increase of $573.0 million. The increase in research and
development expenses primarily reflects an increase in up-front and
milestone expense associated with the licensing and collaboration
agreement and stock purchase agreement with Arrowhead, partially
offset by a decrease in clinical trial expenses primarily due to
the discontinuation of the PPMO programs in 2024. For the three
months ended March 31, 2025, non-GAAP research and development
expenses were $749.2 million, as compared to $178.1 million for the
same period of 2024, an increase of $571.1 million.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $133.6
million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to
$127.0 million for the same period of 2024, an increase of $6.6
million. The increase is primarily driven by an increase in
compensation and other personnel expenses primarily due to changes
in headcount as well as an increase in professional services used
for the continuing efforts to commercialize ELEVIDYS. For the three
months ended March 31, 2025, non-GAAP selling, general and
administrative expenses were $107.1 million, as compared to $100.5
million for the same period of 2024, an increase of $6.6
million.
Other (expense) income, net for the three months ended
March 31, 2025 and 2024, was approximately $(83.1) million and $6.5
million, respectively. The change primarily reflects the loss on
strategic investments, which includes the recurring fair value
adjustments of our investments in publicly-traded companies,
including Arrowhead, during the three months ended March 31,
2025.
Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31,
2025 and 2024, was approximately $64.0 million and $5.3 million,
respectively. Income tax expense for all periods presented
primarily relates to state, federal and foreign income taxes for
which available tax losses or credits were not available to
offset.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures In addition to the GAAP
financial measures set forth in this press release, we have
included the following non-GAAP measurements:
- Non-GAAP net (loss) income is defined by us as GAAP net (loss)
income excluding interest income (expense), net, depreciation and
amortization expense, stock-based compensation expense, loss (gain)
on strategic investments, the estimated income tax impact of each
pre-tax non-GAAP adjustment and other items.
- Non-GAAP net loss per share is defined by us as non-GAAP net
loss, as defined above, divided by the weighted-average number of
shares of common stock outstanding as the inclusion of dilutive
common stock equivalents outstanding is anti-dilutive. Non-GAAP
earnings per share is defined by us as non-GAAP net income, as
defined previously, divided by the weighted-average number of
shares of common stock and dilutive common stock equivalents
outstanding, adjusted for the inclusion of additional shares under
the “if-converted” method, if applicable and not
anti-dilutive.
- Non-GAAP operating (loss) income is defined by us as GAAP
operating (loss) income excluding depreciation and amortization
expense, stock-based compensation expense and other items.
- Non-GAAP research and development expenses are defined by us as
GAAP research and development expenses excluding depreciation and
amortization expense, stock-based compensation expense and other
items.
- Non-GAAP selling, general and administrative expenses are
defined by us as GAAP selling, general and administrative expenses
excluding depreciation expense, stock-based compensation expense
and other items.
The following components are used to adjust our GAAP financial
measures into the previously defined non-GAAP measurements:
- Interest, depreciation and amortization - Interest income
(expense), net amounts can vary substantially from period to period
due to changes in cash and debt balances and interest rates driven
by market conditions outside of our operations. Depreciation
expense can vary substantially from period to period as the
purchases of property and equipment may vary significantly from
period to period and without any direct correlation to our
operating performance. Amortization expense primarily associated
with patent costs are amortized over a period of several years
after acquisition or patent application or renewal.
- Stock-based compensation expenses - Stock-based compensation
expenses represent non-cash charges related to equity awards we
have granted. Although these are recurring charges to operations,
we believe the measurement of these amounts can vary substantially
from period to period and depend significantly on factors that are
not a direct consequence of operating performance that is within
our control. Therefore, we believe that excluding these charges
facilitates comparisons of our operational performance in different
periods.
- Other items - We evaluate other items of expense and income on
an individual basis. We take into consideration quantitative and
qualitative characteristics of each item, including (a) nature, (b)
whether the items relate to our ongoing business operations, and
(c) whether we expect the items to continue or occur on a regular
basis. These other items include the loss (gain) on strategic
investments and changes in the fair value of derivatives and may
include other items that fit the above characteristics in the
future. We exclude from our non-GAAP results:
a)
The loss (gain) on strategic investments
as it is a non-cash item and the results of such gains and losses
are not representative of our normal business operations, which
accordingly, would make it difficult to compare our results to peer
companies that also provide non-GAAP disclosures. We are making
this change beginning in 2025 because, as our strategic investments
have increased, we recognized that the resulting variability can
impede comparability between periods of our financial performance
for our ongoing business operations.
b)
The change in fair value of derivatives
related to 1.) regulatory-related contingent payments meeting the
definition of a derivative to Myonexus selling shareholders as well
as to an academic institution under a separate license agreement
and 2.) the derivative asset associated with capped call options
for our $570.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior
convertible notes that were due on November 15, 2024, as these are
non-cash items and are not considered to be normal operating
expenses due to the variability of amounts and lack of
predictability as to occurrence and/or timing.
We use these non-GAAP measures as key performance measures for
the purpose of evaluating operational performance and cash
requirements internally. We also believe these non-GAAP measures
increase comparability of period-to-period results and are useful
to investors as they provide a similar basis for evaluating our
performance as is applied by management. These non-GAAP measures
are not intended to be considered in isolation or to replace the
presentation of our financial results in accordance with GAAP. Use
of the terms non-GAAP research and development expenses, non-GAAP
selling, general and administrative expenses, non-GAAP other income
and loss adjustments, non-GAAP operating (loss) income, non-GAAP
net (loss) income, and non-GAAP diluted (loss) earnings per share
may differ from similar measures reported by other companies, which
may limit comparability, and are not based on any comprehensive set
of accounting rules or principles. All relevant non-GAAP measures
are reconciled from their respective GAAP measures in the attached
table “Reconciliation of GAAP Financial Measures to Non-GAAP
Financial Measures.”
About EXONDYS 51 EXONDYS 51 uses Sarepta’s proprietary
phosphorodiamidate morpholino oligomer (PMO) chemistry and
exon-skipping technology to bind to exon 51 of dystrophin pre-mRNA,
resulting in exclusion, or “skipping”, of this exon during mRNA
processing in patients with genetic mutations that are amenable to
exon 51 skipping. Exon skipping is intended to allow for production
of an internally truncated dystrophin protein.
EXONDYS 51 is indicated for the treatment of Duchenne muscular
dystrophy (DMD) in patients who have a confirmed mutation of the
DMD gene that is amenable to exon 51 skipping. This indication is
approved under accelerated approval based on an increase in
dystrophin in skeletal muscle observed in some patients treated
with EXONDYS 51. Continued approval for this indication may be
contingent upon verification of a clinical benefit in confirmatory
trials.
EXONDYS 51 has met the full statutory standards for safety and
effectiveness and as such is not considered investigational or
experimental.
Important Safety Information About EXONDYS 51
Hypersensitivity reactions, including bronchospasm, chest pain,
cough, tachycardia, and urticaria have occurred in patients who
were treated with EXONDYS 51. If a hypersensitivity reaction
occurs, institute appropriate medical treatment and consider
slowing the infusion or interrupting the EXONDYS 51 therapy.
Adverse reactions in DMD patients (N=8) treated with EXONDYS 51
30 mg or 50 mg/kg/week by intravenous (IV) infusion with an
incidence of at least 25% more than placebo (N=4) (Study 1, 24
weeks) were (EXONDYS 51, placebo): balance disorder (38%, 0%),
vomiting (38%, 0%) and contact dermatitis (25%, 0%). The most
common adverse reactions were balance disorder and vomiting.
Because of the small numbers of patients, these represent crude
frequencies that may not reflect the frequencies observed in
practice. The 50 mg/kg once weekly dosing regimen of EXONDYS 51 is
not recommended.
The most common adverse reactions from observational clinical
studies (N=163) seen in greater than 10% of patients were headache,
cough, rash, and vomiting.
Other adverse events may occur.

About VYONDYS 53 VYONDYS 53 (golodirsen) uses Sarepta’s
proprietary phosphorodiamidate morpholino oligomer (PMO) chemistry
and exon-skipping technology to bind to exon 53 of dystrophin
pre-mRNA, resulting in exclusion, or “skipping,” of this exon
during mRNA processing in patients with genetic mutations that are
amenable to exon 53 skipping. Exon skipping is intended to allow
for production of an internally truncated dystrophin protein.
VYONDYS 53 is indicated for the treatment of Duchenne muscular
dystrophy (DMD) in patients who have a confirmed mutation of the
DMD gene that is amenable to exon 53 skipping. This indication is
approved under accelerated approval based on an increase in
dystrophin production in skeletal muscle observed in patients
treated with VYONDYS 53. Continued approval for this indication may
be contingent upon verification of a clinical benefit in
confirmatory trials.
VYONDYS 53 has met the full statutory standards for safety and
effectiveness and as such is not considered investigational or
experimental.
Important Safety Information for VYONDYS 53
CONTRAINDICATIONS: VYONDYS 53 is contraindicated in patients
with a serious hypersensitivity reaction to golodirsen or to any of
the inactive ingredients in VYONDYS 53. Anaphylaxis has occurred in
patients receiving VYONDYS 53.
WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
Hypersensitivity Reactions: Hypersensitivity
reactions, including anaphylaxis, rash, pyrexia, pruritus,
urticaria, dermatitis, and skin exfoliation have occurred in
VYONDYS 53-treated patients, some requiring treatment. If a
hypersensitivity reaction occurs, institute appropriate medical
treatment and consider slowing the infusion, interrupting, or
discontinuing the VYONDYS 53 therapy and monitor until the
condition resolves. VYONDYS 53 is contraindicated in patients with
a history of a serious hypersensitivity reaction to golodirsen or
to any of the inactive ingredients in VYONDYS 53.
Kidney Toxicity: Kidney toxicity was observed in animals
who received golodirsen. Although kidney toxicity was not observed
in the clinical studies with VYONDYS 53, the clinical experience
with VYONDYS 53 is limited, and kidney toxicity, including
potentially fatal glomerulonephritis, has been observed after
administration of some antisense oligonucleotides. Kidney function
should be monitored in patients taking VYONDYS 53. Because of the
effect of reduced skeletal muscle mass on creatinine measurements,
creatinine may not be a reliable measure of kidney function in DMD
patients. Serum cystatin C, urine dipstick, and urine
protein-to-creatinine ratio should be measured before starting
VYONDYS 53. Consider also measuring glomerular filtration rate
using an exogenous filtration marker before starting VYONDYS 53.
During treatment, monitor urine dipstick every month, and serum
cystatin C and urine protein-to-creatinine ratio every three
months. Only urine expected to be free of excreted VYONDYS 53
should be used for monitoring of urine protein. Urine obtained on
the day of VYONDYS 53 infusion prior to the infusion, or urine
obtained at least 48 hours after the most recent infusion, may be
used. Alternatively, use a laboratory test that does not use the
reagent pyrogallol red, as this reagent has the potential to cross
react with any VYONDYS 53 that is excreted in the urine and thus
lead to a false positive result for urine protein.
If a persistent increase in serum cystatin C or proteinuria is
detected, refer to a pediatric nephrologist for further
evaluation.
ADVERSE REACTIONS: Adverse reactions observed in at least
20% of treated patients and greater than placebo were (VYONDYS 53,
placebo): headache (41%, 10%), pyrexia (41%, 14%), fall (29%, 19%),
abdominal pain (27%, 10%), nasopharyngitis (27%, 14%), cough (27%,
19%), vomiting (27%, 19%), and nausea (20%, 10%).
Other adverse reactions that occurred at a frequency greater
than 5% of VYONDYS 53-treated patients and at a greater frequency
than placebo were: administration site pain, back pain, pain,
diarrhea, dizziness, ligament sprain, contusion, influenza,
oropharyngeal pain, rhinitis, skin abrasion, ear infection,
seasonal allergy, tachycardia, catheter site related reaction,
constipation, and fracture.
Other adverse events may occur.

About AMONDYS 45 AMONDYS 45 (casimersen) uses Sarepta’s
proprietary phosphorodiamidate morpholino oligomer (PMO) chemistry
and exon-skipping technology to bind to exon 45 of dystrophin
pre-mRNA, resulting in exclusion, or “skipping,” of this exon
during mRNA processing in patients with genetic mutations that are
amenable to exon 45 skipping. Exon skipping is intended to allow
for production of an internally truncated dystrophin protein.
AMONDYS 45 is indicated for the treatment of Duchenne muscular
dystrophy (DMD) in patients who have a confirmed mutation of the
DMD gene that is amenable to exon 45 skipping. This indication is
approved under accelerated approval based on an increase in
dystrophin production in skeletal muscle observed in patients
treated with AMONDYS 45. Continued approval for this indication may
be contingent upon verification of a clinical benefit in
confirmatory trials.
AMONDYS 45 has met the full statutory standards for safety and
effectiveness and as such is not considered investigational or
experimental.
Important Safety Information for AMONDYS 45
CONTRAINDICATIONS: AMONDYS 45 is contraindicated in
patients with a known serious hypersensitivity to casimersen or any
of the inactive ingredients in AMONDYS 45. Instances of
hypersensitivity including angioedema and anaphylaxis have
occurred.
WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
Hypersensitivity Reactions: Hypersensitivity reactions,
including angioedema and anaphylaxis, have occurred in patients who
were treated with AMONDYS 45. If a hypersensitivity reaction
occurs, institute appropriate medical treatment, and consider
slowing the infusion, interrupting, or discontinuing the AMONDYS 45
infusion and monitor until the condition resolves. AMONDYS 45 is
contraindicated in patients with known serious hypersensitivity to
casimersen or to any of the inactive ingredients in AMONDYS 45.
Kidney Toxicity: Kidney toxicity was observed in animals
who received casimersen. Although kidney toxicity was not observed
in the clinical studies with AMONDYS 45, kidney toxicity, including
potentially fatal glomerulonephritis, has been observed after
administration of some antisense oligonucleotides. Kidney function
should be monitored in patients taking AMONDYS 45. Because of the
effect of reduced skeletal muscle mass on creatinine measurements,
creatinine may not be a reliable measure of kidney function in DMD
patients. Serum cystatin C, urine dipstick, and urine
protein-to-creatinine ratio should be measured before starting
AMONDYS 45. Consider also measuring glomerular filtration rate
using an exogenous filtration marker before starting AMONDYS 45.
During treatment, monitor urine dipstick every month, and serum
cystatin C and urine protein-to-creatinine ratio (UPCR) every three
months. Only urine expected to be free of excreted AMONDYS 45
should be used for monitoring of urine protein. Urine obtained on
the day of AMONDYS 45 infusion prior to the infusion, or urine
obtained at least 48 hours after the most recent infusion, may be
used. Alternatively, use a laboratory test that does not use the
reagent pyrogallol red, as this reagent has the potential to cross
react with any AMONDYS 45 that is excreted in the urine and thus
lead to a false positive result for urine protein.
If a persistent increase in serum cystatin C or proteinuria is
detected, refer to a pediatric nephrologist for further
evaluation.
Adverse Reactions: Adverse reactions occurring in at
least 20% of patients treated with AMONDYS 45 and at least 5% more
frequently than in the placebo group were (AMONDYS 45, placebo):
upper respiratory infections (65%, 55%), cough (33%, 26%), pyrexia
(33%, 23%), headache (32%, 19%), arthralgia (21%, 10%), and
oropharyngeal pain (21%, 7%).
Other adverse reactions that occurred in at least 10% of
patients treated with AMONDYS 45 and at least 5% more frequently
than in the placebo group were: ear pain, nausea, ear infection,
post-traumatic pain, and dizziness and light-headedness.
Other adverse events may occur.

About ELEVIDYS (delandistrogene moxeparvovec-rokl)
ELEVIDYS (delandistrogene moxeparvovec-rokl) is a single-dose,
adeno-associated virus (AAV)-based gene transfer therapy for
intravenous infusion designed to address the underlying genetic
cause of Duchenne muscular dystrophy – mutations or changes in the
DMD gene that result in the lack of dystrophin protein – through
the delivery of a transgene that codes for the targeted production
of ELEVIDYS micro-dystrophin in skeletal muscle.
ELEVIDYS is indicated for the treatment of Duchenne muscular
dystrophy (DMD) in individuals at least 4 years of age.
- For patients who are ambulatory and have a confirmed mutation
in the DMD gene
- For patients who are non-ambulatory and have a confirmed
mutation in the DMD gene.
The DMD indication in non-ambulatory patients is approved under
accelerated approval based on expression of ELEVIDYS
micro-dystrophin (noted hereafter as “micro-dystrophin”) in
skeletal muscle. Continued approval for this indication may be
contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in
a confirmatory trial(s).
Important Safety Information for ELEVIDYS
CONTRAINDICATION: ELEVIDYS is contraindicated in patients
with any deletion in exon 8 and/or exon 9 in the DMD gene.
WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS:
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 administration 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.
Acute Serious Liver Injury:
- Acute serious liver injury has been observed with ELEVIDYS, and
administration of ELEVIDYS may result in elevations of liver
enzymes (such as GGT, GLDH, ALT, AST) or total bilirubin, typically
seen within 8 weeks.
- 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.
Postpone ELEVIDYS administration in patients with acute liver
disease until resolved or controlled.
- Prior to ELEVIDYS administration, perform liver enzyme test and
monitor liver function (clinical exam, GGT, and total bilirubin)
weekly for the first 3 months following ELEVIDYS infusion. Continue
monitoring if clinically indicated, until results are unremarkable
(normal clinical exam, GGT and total bilirubin levels return to
near baseline levels).
- Systemic corticosteroid treatment is recommended for patients
before and after ELEVIDYS infusion. Adjust corticosteroid regimen
when indicated. If acute serious liver injury is suspected,
consultation with a specialist is recommended.
Immune-mediated Myositis:
- In clinical trials, immune-mediated myositis has been observed
approximately 1 month following ELEVIDYS infusion in patients with
deletion mutations involving exon 8 and/or exon 9 in the DMD gene.
Symptoms of severe muscle weakness including dysphagia, dyspnea and
hypophonia were observed.
- Limited data are available for ELEVIDYS treatment in patients
with mutations in the DMD gene in exons 1 to 17 and/or exons 59 to
71. Patients with deletions in these regions may be at risk for a
severe immune-mediated myositis reaction.
- Advise patients to contact a physician immediately if they
experience any unexplained increased muscle pain, tenderness, or
weakness, including dysphagia, dyspnea or hypophonia, as these may
be symptoms of myositis. Consider additional immunomodulatory
treatment (immunosuppressants [e.g., calcineurin-inhibitor] in
addition to corticosteroids) based on patient’s clinical
presentation and medical history if these symptoms occur.
Myocarditis:
- Acute serious myocarditis and troponin-I elevations have been
observed following ELEVIDYS infusion in clinical trials.
- 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. 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.
Pre-existing 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 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 greater than or
equal to 1:400.
Adverse Reactions:
- The most common adverse reactions (incidence ≥ 5%) reported in
clinical studies were vomiting, nausea, liver injury, pyrexia, and
thrombocytopenia.
Report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA.

About Sarepta Therapeutics Sarepta is on an urgent
mission: engineer precision genetic medicine for rare diseases that
devastate lives and cut futures short. We hold leadership positions
in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and limb-girdle muscular
dystrophies (LGMDs), and we currently have more than 40 programs in
various stages of development. Our vast pipeline is driven by our
multi-platform Precision Genetic Medicine Engine in gene therapy,
RNA and gene editing. For more information, please visit
www.sarepta.com or follow us on LinkedIn, X (formerly Twitter),
Instagram and Facebook.
Forward-Looking Statements In order to provide Sarepta’s
investors with an understanding of its current results and future
prospects, this press release contains statements that are
forward-looking. Any statements contained in this press release
that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be
forward-looking statements. Words such as “believes,”
“anticipates,” “plans,” “expects,” “will,” “may,” “intends,”
“prepares,” “looks,” “potential,” “possible” and similar
expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.
These forward-looking statements include statements relating to our
future operations, financial performance, guidance and financial
projections for 2025 and beyond, including our revised 2025 product
revenue guidance; business plans, market opportunities, priorities,
research and development programs, and the potential benefits of
our product candidates; and our expected plans and milestones,
including submitting a BLA in the second half of 2025 for SRP-9003,
sharing data from candidates in development for FSHD1 and DM1 later
this year, and the potential to receive a significant number of
LGMD gene therapy approvals in the coming years.
These forward-looking statements involve risks and
uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control. Actual results
could materially differ from those stated or implied by these
forward-looking statements as a result of such risks and
uncertainties. Known risk factors include the following: we may not
be able to meet expectations with respect to sales of our products
or attain or maintain the anticipated net revenues, profitability
or positive cash-flow from operations; our products may not be
widely adopted by patients, payors or healthcare providers, which
would adversely impact our potential profitability and future
business prospects; we may experience delays in treating patients
at infusion sites; we may observe adverse reactions in our clinical
trials or in patients who receive our approved products; we may not
be able to comply with all FDA post-approval commitments and
requirements with respect to our products in a timely manner or at
all; the possible impact of regulations and regulatory decisions by
the FDA and other regulatory agencies on our business, as well as
the development of our product candidates and our financial and
contractual obligations; because we are developing product
candidates for the treatment of certain diseases in which there is
little clinical experience and we are using new endpoints or
methodologies, there is increased risk that the FDA, the EMA or
other regulatory authorities may not consider the endpoints of our
clinical trials to provide clinically meaningful results and that
these results may be difficult to analyze; our dependence on
certain manufacturers to produce our products and product
candidates, including any inability on our part to accurately
anticipate or forecast product demand and timely secure
manufacturing capacity to meet product demand, may impair the
availability of product to successfully support various programs;
our data for our programs, including those with strategic partners,
may not be sufficient for obtaining regulatory approval; the
results of future research may not be consistent with past positive
results or may fail to meet regulatory approval requirements for
the safety and efficacy of product candidates; the commencement and
completion of our clinical trials, including those in connection
with our strategic partners, and announcement of results may be
delayed or prevented for a number of reasons, including, among
others, denial by the regulatory agencies of permission to proceed
with our clinical trials, or placement of a clinical trial on hold,
challenges in identifying, recruiting, enrolling and retaining
patients to participate in clinical trials and inadequate quantity
or quality of supplies of a product candidate or other materials
necessary to conduct clinical trials; different methodologies,
assumptions and applications we use to assess particular safety or
efficacy parameters may yield different statistical results, and
even if we believe the data collected from clinical trials of our
product candidates are positive, these data may not be sufficient
to support approval by the FDA or other global regulatory
authorities; if the actual number of patients living with the
diseases we aim to treat is smaller than estimated, our revenue and
ability to maintain profitability may be adversely affected; we may
not be able to execute on our business plans, including meeting our
expected or planned regulatory milestones and timelines, research
and clinical development plans, and bringing our product candidates
to market, for various reasons, many of which may be outside of our
control, including possible limitations of company financial and
other resources, manufacturing limitations that may not be
anticipated or resolved for in a timely manner, regulatory, court
or agency decisions, such as decisions by the United States Patent
and Trademark Office with respect to patents that cover our product
candidates; and those risks identified under the heading “Risk
Factors” in our most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as well as other
SEC filings made by the Company which you are encouraged to
review.
Internet Posting of Information We routinely post
information that may be important to investors in the 'For
Investors' section of our website at www.sarepta.com. We encourage
investors and potential investors to consult our website regularly
for important information about us.

*Beginning in the first quarter of 2025,
loss (gain) on strategic investments was included as a non-GAAP
measurement to adjust our GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP
financial results for the first quarter 2024 have been updated to
reflect this change for comparability. Please refer to the “Use of
Non-GAAP Measures” section above for additional detail.
**Non-GAAP earnings per share is
calculated using diluted shares whereas non-GAAP net loss per share
is calculated using basic shares as all other instruments are
anti-dilutive.
***The difference between the weighted
average number of shares of common stock used in computing diluted
GAAP and non-GAAP earnings per share for the three months ended
March 31, 2024, is a result of the exclusion of the potential share
settlement of the 2027 Convertible Notes from the GAAP earnings per
share as the inclusion of such shares was anti-dilutive.
