Amenable to exon 53 skipping
VYONDYS 53 is an FDA-approved Duchenne muscular dystrophy treatment for patients who have a confirmed genetic mutation in the dystrophin gene that can be treated by skipping exon 53. In some patients, it helps the body make a shorter form of the dystrophin protein.
Approved under accelerated approval.
Accelerated approval allows for drugs to be approved based on a marker that is considered reasonably likely to predict a clinical benefit. VYONDYS 53 treatment increased the marker, dystrophin, in skeletal muscle in some patients. Verification of a clinical benefit may be needed for VYONDYS 53 to continue to be approved.
