Sarepta Provides Update on UK Dosing in ENVISION Study of ELEVIDYS for the treatment of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
May 21 2025 - 8:30AM
Business Wire
Sarepta Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:SRPT), the leader in
precision genetic medicine for rare diseases, shared the following
update related to ELEVIDYS (delandistrogene moxeparvovec-rokl), the
only approved gene therapy for patients with Duchenne muscular
dystrophy.
We have received feedback from the Medicines & Healthcare
products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) in the United Kingdom (U.K.) that
dosing may continue uninterrupted in ENVISION, study SRP-9001-303.
ENVISION is a global, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled
Phase 3 study of ELEVIDYS in non-ambulatory and older ambulatory
individuals with Duchenne.
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.
In the U.S., 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 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
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 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.
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 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.
