Uses

1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE ELEVIDYS is indicated for the treatment of patients 4 years of age and older with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), who are ambulatory and have a confirmed mutation in the DMD gene [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.2 ), Clinical Studies ( 14 )] . ELEVIDYS is an adeno-associated virus vector-based gene therapy indicated for the treatment of patients 4 years of age and older with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) who are ambulatory and have a confirmed mutation in the DMD gene.

Dosage

2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION For single-dose intravenous infusion only. ELEVIDYS is for single-dose intravenous infusion only. Select patients for treatment with ELEVIDYS with anti-AAVrh74 total binding antibody titers = 3 times baseline, total bilirubin > ULN) following ELEVIDYS infusion. Consider IV bolus corticosteroids instead of oral corticosteroids for GGT or bilirubin elevations that do not respond after 1 week of increased oral corticosteroids. Consult with a specialist experienced in immunosuppressive therapy for additional interventions as needed. Obtain prompt consultation with a specialist (e.g., gastroenterologist or hepatologist) if acute serious liver injury or impending acute liver failure is suspected.

Side Effects

6 ADVERSE REACTIONS Most common adverse reactions (incidence ≥5%) were vomiting and nausea, liver injury, pyrexia, thrombocytopenia, and troponin-I increased. ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Sarepta Therapeutics, Inc., at 1-888-SAREPTA (1-888-727-3782) or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch. 6.1 Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.

Interactions

7 DRUG INTERACTIONS Prior to initiating the corticosteroid regimen required before ELEVIDYS administration, consider the patient's vaccination status. Patients should, if possible, be brought up to date with all immunizations in agreement with current immunization guidelines. Vaccinations should be completed at least 4 weeks prior to initiation of the corticosteroid regimen.

Warnings

WARNING: ACUTE SERIOUS LIVER INJURY AND ACUTE LIVER FAILURE Acute serious liver injury, including life-threatening and fatal acute liver failure, has occurred with ELEVIDYS [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )]. Patients with preexisting liver impairment may be at higher risk [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )]. Prior to infusion, assess liver function by clinical examination and laboratory testing. Administer systemic corticosteroids before and after ELEVIDYS infusion. 5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Serious Infections: Serious infections with fatal outcomes may occur due to concomitant administration of corticosteroids, additional immunosuppressants, and ELEVIDYS. Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of infection; treat appropriately. ( 5.2 ) Myocarditis: Acute, serious, life-threatening myocarditis and troponin-I elevations have been observed. Monitor troponin-I before ELEVIDYS infusion, and weekly for the first month after ELEVIDYS infusion. ( 5.3 ) Infusion-related Reactions: Infusion-related reactions, including hypersensitivity reactions and anaphylaxis, have occurred. Monitor during administration and for at least 3 hours after end of infusion. If symptoms occur, slow or stop the infusion and give appropriate treatment. 4 CONTRAINDICATIONS 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 [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.5 )] . 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.

Pregnancy

8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary ELEVIDYS is not intended for use in pregnant women. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risks of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively.
