ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a rare, degenerative, recessive X-linked neuromuscular disease. Mutations in the gene encoding dystrophin lead to the absence of functional dystrophin protein. Individuals living with DMD exhibit progressive muscle weakness resulting in loss of ambulation and limb function, respiratory insufficiency, and cardiomyopathy, with multiorgan involvement. Adeno-associated virus vector-mediated gene therapy designed to enable production of functional dystrophin protein is a new therapeutic strategy. Delandistrogene moxeparvovec (Sarepta Therapeutics, Cambridge, MA) is indicated for treatment of ambulatory pediatric patients aged 4 through 5 years with DMD who have an indicated mutation in the DMD gene.OBJECTIVE:
Evidence-based considerations for management of potential adverse events following gene therapy treatment for DMD are lacking in clinical literature. Our goal was to provide interdisciplinary consensus considerations for selected treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) (vomiting, acute liver injury, myocarditis, and immune-mediated myositis) that may arise following gene therapy dosing with delandistrogene moxeparvovec.METHODS:
An interdisciplinary panel of 12 specialists utilized a modified Delphi process to develop consensus considerations for the evaluation and management of TRAEs reported in delandistrogene moxeparvovec clinical studies. Panelists completed 2 Questionnaires prior to gathering for an in-person discussion. Consensus was defined as a majority (≥58% ; 7/12) of panelists either agreeing or disagreeing.RESULTS:
Panelists agreed that the choice of baseline assessments should be informed by individual clinical indications, the treating provider's judgment, and prescribing information. Corticosteroid dosing for treatment of TRAEs should be optimized by considering individual risk versus benefit for each indication. In all cases involving patients with a confirmed TRAE, consultations with appropriate specialists were suggested.CONCLUSIONS:
The Delphi Panel established consensus considerations for the evaluation and management of potential TRAEs for patients receiving delandistrogene moxeparvovec, including vomiting, acute liver injury, myocarditis, and immune-mediated myositis.Palavras-chave
