Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) Disease Understanding and Treatment Algorithm


Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) Overview


Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is the most common form of muscular dystrophy in childhood. It is a genetic disorder characterized by progressive muscle degeneration and weakness. It is one of nine types of muscular dystrophy.

DMD is caused by an absence of dystrophin, a protein that helps keep muscle cells intact. Symptom onset is in early childhood, usually between ages 3-5. The disease primarily affects boys, but in rare cases it can affect girls. DMD is inherited as an X-linked disease. X-linked genetic disorders are conditions caused by an abnormal gene on the X chromosome and manifest mostly in males. Females that have a defective gene present on one of their X chromosomes are carriers for that disorder. Carrier females usually do not display symptoms because females have two X chromosomes and only one carries the defective gene. Males have one X chromosome that is inherited from their mother and if a male inherits an X chromosome that contains a defective gene he will develop the disease.

The clinical hallmarks of DMD include weakness and wasting of various voluntary muscles of the body. In most advanced stages of the disease, the heart and gut muscles will be affected. Symptoms of DMD are usually noticed in boys between 1-6 years of age. A steady decline occurs in muscle strength between the ages of 6-11 years. By age 10, braces may be needed for walking. By age 13, most boys with DMD are using a wheelchair full-time. Children with DMD are often late walkers. In toddlers, parents may notice enlarged calf muscles. This enlargement is known as pseudohypertrophy, or "false enlargement," because the muscle tissue is abnormal and may contain scar tissue. A preschooler with DMD may seem clumsy and fall often. Parents also may note that children have trouble climbing stairs, getting up from the floor or running.

Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) Diagnosis


The aim of care around diagnosis is to provide a correct and rapid diagnosis, allowing commencement of suitable interventions, enduring support and education, and minimising the length and effect of a potentially protracted diagnostic process. Diagnosis should be done by a neuromuscular specialist who can assess the child clinically and can rapidly access and interpret appropriate investigations in the context of the clinical presentation. Family follow-up and support after diagnosis will often be augmented by support from geneticists and genetic counsellors.

Suspicion of the diagnosis of DMD should be considered irrespective of family history and is usually triggered in one of three ways, namely, observation of abnormal muscle function in a male child, detection of an increase in serum creatine kinase tested for unrelated indications, after the discovery of increased transaminases (aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase, which are produced by muscle as well as liver cells.

The diagnosis of DMD should thus be considered before liver biopsy in any male child with increased transaminases. Initial symptoms might include delayed walking, frequent falls, or diffi culty with running and climbing stairs. Although DMD is typically diagnosed at around 5 years of age, the diagnosis might be suspected much earlier because of delays in attainment of developmental milestones, such as independent walking or language; such delays have been documented prospectively by following patients with DMD identified by newborn screening.

Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) Treatment


Glucocorticoids, more precisely prednisone and deflazacort, are the main drug treatment for DMD. Corticosteroids have been used for over two decades and they are the only medication that has been shown to increase muscular strength. Ataluren is a newer medicine that has been developed to treat some children with DMD aged five or older who can still walk. Ataluren comes as granules provided in sachets. The contents of each sachet are mixed into liquids or semi-solid food (such as yoghurt) and then swallowed.

The main therapeutic strategies for the treatment of DMD includes:

  • Gene replacement or other genetic therapies linked to specific mutations to restore dystrophin production
  • Membrane stabilization and/or upregulation of compensatory proteins
  • Reduction of the inflammatory cascade and/or enhancement of muscle regeneration

Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) Marketed Drugs


Vyondys 53 (Golodirsen): Sarepta Therapeutics

Vyondys 53, developed by Sarepta Threrapeutics, is indicated for the treatment of DMD in patients who have a confirmed mutation of the DMD gene that is amenable to exon 53 skipping. This indication is approved under accelerated approval based on an increase in dystrophin production in skeletal muscle observed in patients treated with Vyondys 53.

Vyondys 53 (golodirsen) injection is a sterile, aqueous, preservative-free, concentrated solution for dilution prior to intravenous administration. It is a clear to slightly opalescent, colorless liquid, which is supplied in single-dose vials containing 100 mg golodirsen (50 mg/mL). Vyondys 53 is formulated as an isotonic phosphate buffered saline solution with an osmolality of 260 to 320 mOSM and a pH of 7.5. Each milliliter of Vyondys 53 contains: 50 mg golodirsen; 0.2 mg potassium chloride; 0.2 mg potassium phosphate monobasic; 8 mg sodium chloride and 1.14 mg sodium phosphate dibasic, anhydrous, in water for injection. The product may contain hydrochloric acid or sodium hydroxide to adjust pH.

Emflaza: PTC Therapeutics

Emflaza (deflazacort), a corticosteroid is indicated for the treatment of DMD in patients two years of age and older. The active ingredient in Emflaza is deflazacort. The recommended once-daily dosage is approximately 0.9 mg/kg/day administered orally. Emflaza for oral administration is available as an immediate-release tablet in strengths of 6, 18, 30, and 36 mg and an immediate-release oral suspension in the strength of 22.75 mg/mL.

Emflaza was discovered and developed by Marathon Pharmaceuticals in patients five years of age and older. However, in April 2017, PTC Therapeutics completed an acquisition of all rights to Emflaza in the United States.

Exondys 51: Sarepta Therapeutics

Exondys 51 is a manufactured and commercialized product of Sarepta Therapeutics. Exondys 51 is an antisense oligonucleotide indicated for the treatment of DMD in patients who have a confirmed mutation of the DMD gene that is amenable to exon 51 skipping. Exon skipping is a treatment approach for specific genetic mutations that can restore production of the dystrophin protein.

Eteplirsen is an antisense oligonucleotide of the phosphorodiamidate morpholino oligomer (PMO) subclass. PMOs are synthetic molecules in which the five-membered ribofuranosyl rings found in natural DNA and RNA are replaced by a six-membered morpholino ring. Each morpholino ring is linked through an uncharged phosphorodiamidate moiety rather than the negatively charged phosphate linkage that is present in natural DNA and RNA. Each phosphorodiamidate morpholino subunit contains one of the heterocyclic bases found in DNA (adenine, cytosine, guanine, or thymine). Eteplirsen contains 30 linked subunits. Eteplirsen is designed to bind to exon 51 of dystrophin pre-mRNA, resulting in exclusion of this exon during mRNA processing in patients with genetic mutations that are amenable to exon 51 skipping. Exon skipping is intended to allow for production of an internally truncated dystrophin protein.

Translarna: PTC Therapeutics

Translarna is indicated for the treatment of DMD resulting from a nonsense mutation in the dystrophin gene, in ambulatory patients aged two years and older. A “readthrough” drug, Translarna is designed to act by changing the way muscle cells interpret genetic information, coaxing them to produce a needed muscle protein called dystrophin despite the presence of a nonsense mutation in the dystrophin gene. Translarna forces the cell to ignore this abnormal premature stop signal, enabling the production of the full-length, functional protein. Thus, Translarna works as a “protein restoration therapy”, which means that it aims to facilitate the production of a functional protein in patients who cannot produce it normally.

Ataluren should be administered orally every day in three doses. The first dose should be taken in the morning, the second at midday, and the third in the evening. Recommended dosing intervals are six hours between morning and midday doses, six hours between midday and evening doses, and 12 hours between the evening dose and the first dose on the next day. The recommended dose is 10 mg/kg body weight in the morning, 10 mg/kg body weight at midday, and 20 mg/kg body weight in the evening (for a total daily dose of 40 mg/kg body weight).

Amondys 45: Sarepta Therapeutics

Amondys 45 (casimersen) is an antisense oligonucleotide indicated for the treatment of DMD in patients who have a confirmed mutation of the DMD gene that is amenable to exon 45 skipping. Casimersen is designed to bind to exon 45 of dystrophin pre-mRNA resulting in the exclusion of this exon during mRNA processing in patients with genetic mutations that are amenable to exon 45 skipping. This indication is approved under accelerated approval based on an increase in dystrophin production in skeletal muscle observed in patients treated with Amondys 45, and continued approval may be contingent upon verification of a clinical benefit in confirmatory trials.

Viltepso: Nippon Shinyaku

Viltepso (viltolarsen) is an antisense oligonucleotide indicated for the treatment of DMD in patients who have a confirmed mutation of the DMD gene that is amenable to exon 53 skipping. Viltepso is designed to bind to exon 53 of dystrophin pre-mRNA, resulting in excluding this exon during mRNA processing in patients with genetic mutations that are amenable to exon 53 skipping. This indication is approved under accelerated approval based on an increase in dystrophin production in skeletal muscle observed in patients treated with Viltepso. Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in a confirmatory trial

Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) Emerging Drugs


PF-06939926: Pfizer

PF-06939926, developed by Pfizer, is an investigational gene therapy for the treatment of DMD. It is a recombinant adeno-associated virus serotype 9 (AAV9) capsid carrying a shortened version of the human dystrophin gene (mini-dystrophin) under the control of a human muscle-specific promotor. The AAV9 capsid was chosen as the delivery mechanism because of its potential to target muscle tissue and is administered intravenously.

DMD is a focus area of clinical research for Pfizer Rare Disease, and the company is currently investigating gene therapy as a potential option to address the underlying cause of the disease. Currently, the drug is being investigated in a Phase III developmental clinical trial for the treatment of DMD.

Vamorolone: Santhera Pharmaceuticals/ReveraGen BioPharma

Vamorolone (formerly known as VBP15) is a first-in-class glucocorticoid analog drug candidate that binds to the same receptors as glucocorticoids but modifies the downstream activity of the receptors. Vamorolone does not enable dimerization of the drug/receptor complexes. This leads to the separation (dissociation) of anti-inflammatory benefits from safety concerns. It has the potential to 'dissociate' efficacy from typical steroid safety concerns and therefore could replace existing glucocorticoids. Vamorolone is a dissociative steroidal agent that aims to separate safety concerns of traditional glucocorticoid drugs, such as prednisone and deflazacort, from key aspects of efficacy.

ReveraGen BioPharma is evaluating the potential drug candidate in Phase II clinical stage for the treatment of Duchenne muscular dystrophy. The company anticipates filing a New Drug Application (NDA) with the US FDA and preparations for market entry in the first quarter of 2022.

Pizuglanstat (TAS-205): Taiho Pharmaceutical

TAS-205 is a selective hematopoietic prostaglandin D synthase (HPGDS) inhibitor discovered by Taiho Pharmaceutical. HPGDS produces the inflammatory mediator prostaglandin D2 (PGD2), which is increased in DMD patients and may play a role in the underlying molecular mechanisms that promote the progression and symptomatic presentations of this disease. TAS-205 is under development as a DMD treatment that controls the decline in motor function in DMD patients by inhibiting HPGDS, which exacerbates the inflammatory response in DMD patients' muscles. Upon oral administration, TAS‐205 decreases the total urinary excretion of PGD2 metabolites in a dose‐dependent manner. Currently, the drug is being investigated in Phase III developmental clinical trial for the treatment of DMD patients.

Givinostat: Italfarmaco

Italfarmaco is developing Givinostat (also known as ITF2357), an orally available small molecule that acts as a histone deacetylase inhibitor with potential anti-inflammatory, anti-angiogenic, and antineoplastic activities. ITF2357 inhibits class I and II histone deacetylases (HDAC) and has demonstrated a potent anti-proliferative and pro-apoptotic activity against several hematologic malignancies both in vitro and in vivo. It blocks enzymes called histone deacetylases (HDACs), which are involved in turning genes ‘on' and ‘off' within cells. By blocking HDAC enzymes, givinostat is expected to ‘switch on' the follistatin gene, thereby increasing the amount of the follistatin protein in muscle cells. Follistatin is expected to increase muscle mass and prevent muscle degeneration by opposing the effects of myostatin, a protein that causes fat and fibrotic tissue to build up in the muscle preventing muscle growth and regeneration. This is expected to improve the symptoms of DMD. The therapeutic candidate induces apoptosis of multiple myeloma and acute myelogenous leukemia cells and this apoptosis takes place following induction of p21 and down-modulation of Bcl-2 and Mcl-1 proteins.

Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) Market Outlook


Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a progressive form of muscular dystrophy that occurs primarily in males, though in rare cases may affect females. DMD causes progressive weakness and loss (atrophy) of skeletal and heart muscles according to National Institute of Health, US. Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a rare muscle disorder but it is one of the most frequent genetic conditions affecting approximately 1 in 3,500 male births worldwide. It is usually recognized between three and six years of age.

The medical management for DMD comprises several aspects such as cardiac care, diet, exercise, respiratory care, braces, and spinal curvatures. Treatments include the standard care for DMD along with the new upcoming therapeutic strategies, including genetic therapies, cell therapy using muscle precursor cells or stem cells, membrane stabilization and upregulation of cytoskeletal proteins, and treatment of secondary cascades. The treatment strategy also encompasses supportive treatment and psychosocial management. Besides, the medical care of a patient with DMD and his family is not complete without support for their psychosocial wellbeing.

Glucocorticoids, more precisely prednisone and deflazacort, form main drug treatment for DMD. Although Deflazacort is now approved as Emflaza in the United States. Corticosteroids stabilizes muscle strength and function prolonging independent ambulation and delaying the progression of scoliosis and cardiomyopathy. It has been observed that the patients who receive corticosteroids ambulate 2-5 years longer than the ones not receiving the corticosteroids. Deflazacort is an oxazoline derivate of prednisone. Deflazacort shows more bone-sparing and carbohydrate-sparing properties with less weight-gain effects and improves strength and function. Therefore, Deflazacort becomes the preferred choice over prednisone due to limited side effects and the beneficial properties of muscle sparing and delayed scoliosis progression. Corticosteroids not only do the good to the patients but also imparts certain adverse effects.
