FDA decision deadline on extending ELEVIDYS to ambulatory DMD patients aged ≥4. Three possible outcomes: approval, Complete Response Letter (CRL), or PDUFA extension. ELEVIDYS is currently Sarepta’s primary commercial product.
What’s at stake
ELEVIDYS (delandistrogene moxeparvovec) is a one-time gene therapy for Duchenne muscular dystrophy — a fatal progressive muscle-wasting disease caused by dystrophin gene mutations — developed by Sarepta Therapeutics. The therapy uses a hollow AAVrh74 virus to deliver a shortened but functional microdystrophin gene into muscle cells throughout the body, enabling patients to produce a form of the missing structural protein. ELEVIDYS received accelerated FDA approval in 2023 as the first gene therapy for DMD; Sarepta is pursuing a label expansion to ambulatory patients aged 4 and older.
X-linked genetic disease causing progressive muscle weakness in boys. Median survival in late 20s with current care; gene therapy (ELEVIDYS) is the lead curative approach.
