摘要

Introduction

In patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), the gene transfer therapy delandistrogene moxeparvovec delivers a functional form of dystrophin, which has been shown to stabilize or slow disease progression.

Methods

We assessed cardiac safety of delandistrogene moxeparvovec in clinical trials with ≤ 5 years of follow-up. Data were collected from clinical trials 101 (NCT03375164, n = 4), 102 (NCT03769116, n = 41), ENDEAVOR (NCT04626674, n = 48), and EMBARK (NCT05096221, n = 125), which excluded patients with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) < 40%. Adverse events and cardiac echocardiography were assessed regularly in all trials. Troponin I was assessed regularly in ENDEAVOR and EMBARK. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI; without gadolinium enhancement) was assessed within an EMBARK substudy.

Results

Of 218 patients (baseline mean age [range], 6.4 [3.2–20.2] years; mean LVEF [range], 63.8% [48.9–78.0%]), 210 (96%) were ambulatory; 216 received delandistrogene moxeparvovec treatment. Two myocarditis cases were reported within 4 days after delandistrogene moxeparvovec infusion; both resolved within 3 weeks. Except in the two myocarditis cases, troponin I fluctuations were asymptomatic. Thirteen patients with baseline and postbaseline echocardiography data had elevated troponin I at baseline; 1 year post infusion, only one of these patients had LVEF < 50%. LVEF in all four patients with 5-year follow-up remained > 50%. Although cardiac MRI without gadolinium revealed no relevant differences in heart function between patients 1 or 2 years after delandistrogene moxeparvovec versus patients 1 year after placebo infusion, subclinical fibrosis cannot be ruled out.

Conclusion

Results from delandistrogene moxeparvovec trials with 1 to 5 years of follow-up suggest a manageable cardiac safety profile in this study population of predominantly younger, ambulatory patients with DMD who had no signs of persistent treatment-related cardiac injury.
