Exondys 51 (eteplirsen) is an antisense oligonucleotide used for the treatment of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) in patients who have a confirmed mutation of the DMD gene that is amenable to exon 51 skipping.
Note: This medicine, Exondys 51, was approved early because it showed that it could increase a protein known as dystrophin in the muscles of some patients. However, this approval will continue only if future studies prove that the therapeutic drug also helps patients feel better or improve their health.
Recommended Dosage:
The recommended dosage of Exondys 51 is 30 mg per/kg administered once weekly as a 35 to 60 minute intravenous (IV) infusion via an in-line 0.2 micron filter.
In case any scheduled dose is missed/skipped, it may be administered as quickly as possible after the scheduled time.
- Treatment with Eteplirsen 100 mg/2 mL injection may cause hypersensitivity reactions such as fever, rash, or difficulty breathing. If any signs and symptoms of allergy arise after administration, stop use and get immediate medical help. Monitor patients watchfully during and after infusion for any signs of allergic response.
- There are not sufficient studies on the use of Eteplirsen injection during pregnancy. Use only if clearly needed and if the potential benefit justifies the potential risks to the unborn baby. Pregnant women should consult a healthcare professional (HCP) before starting treatment with Eteplirsen.
- It is not known whether this medicine is excreted in human breast milk. Caution is required when administering it to breastfeeding mothers. A healthcare provider (HCP) should evaluate the benefits of treatment against any potential risk to the nursing child before starting treatment.
- This medicine is specifically approved for use in pediatric patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Safety and efficacy have been established in children. However, regular monitoring is important to assess the medicine’s effect and ensure there are no adverse developmental impacts.
- There is limited clinical experience with Eteplirsen 500 mg/10 mL injection in patients aged 65 and older. No overall differences in safety or effectiveness have been observed. However, treat elderly patients cautiously. Consider age-related conditions and potential coexisting health concerns.
- No specific dosing adjustment is required for those with renal impairment. However, since this medicine is cleared by the kidneys, monitor renal function throughout treatment. Consult with a nephrologist before starting therapy in those with pre-existing kidney complications.
