What Is Elevidys?

Elevidys is a prescription AAVrh74 vector-based gene therapy containing delandistrogene moxeparvovec-rokl. Current U.S. labeling limits treatment to ambulatory patients age 4 and older with Duchenne muscular dystrophy and a confirmed mutation in the DMD gene. It is administered once by intravenous infusion.

How Does Elevidys Work?

Elevidys carries a transgene that encodes an engineered micro-dystrophin protein. The AAVrh74 vector delivers this genetic material to muscle cells, while the MHCK7 regulatory component directs micro-dystrophin expression mainly in skeletal and cardiac muscle. The resulting protein is a shortened form of dystrophin containing selected functional domains.

Who Is Treated With Elevidys?

Elevidys is indicated for ambulatory patients age 4 and older with Duchenne muscular dystrophy and a confirmed DMD gene mutation. Treatment is contraindicated when the DMD mutation includes any deletion involving exon 8 or exon 9. Patients also undergo testing for anti-AAVrh74 antibodies before infusion.

How Is Elevidys Dosed?

Elevidys is given once by intravenous infusion. Patients weighing less than 70 kg receive 1.33 ? 10^14 vector genomes per kg, equal to 10 mL per kg. Patients weighing 70 kg or more receive a fixed total dose of 9.31 ? 10^15 vector genomes. Systemic corticosteroids are given before and after infusion.

What Serious Risks Are Linked to Elevidys?

Elevidys carries a boxed warning for acute serious liver injury and acute liver failure, including fatal cases. Other serious concerns include infections, myocarditis, infusion reactions, and immune-mediated myositis. Liver tests are checked weekly for at least three months, and troponin-I is checked weekly for the first month after treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions About Elevidys

What condition does Elevidys treat?

Elevidys treats Duchenne muscular dystrophy in ambulatory patients age 4 and older with a confirmed DMD gene mutation.

How often is Elevidys given?

Elevidys is administered as a single intravenous infusion and is not re-administered.

Does Elevidys have a boxed warning?

Yes. The boxed warning covers acute serious liver injury and acute liver failure, including fatal outcomes.

Who should not receive Elevidys?

Patients with DMD deletions involving exon 8 or exon 9 should not receive Elevidys under current labeling.
