Amondys 45: which risks did reviewers probe?
casimersen · DMD exon 45 (PMO)
Immune & cytokine safety
Dose-related complement activation (Bb, C3a) in 12-week monkey; no immune function effects in juvenile rat
“Activation of complement, dose-related in magnitude, was observed in all SRP-4045 dose groups, as evidenced by increases in Bb and C3a.”
Biodistribution & persistence
Extensive tissue distribution; highest kidney, lowest brain; urinary elimination complete by 336 h; low protein binding
“Protein binding was low (<37%) in animal and human plasma, and there was extensive tissue distribution, with highest and lowest levels of radioactivity in kidney and brain, respectively”
Modality-specific risk
Renal tubular toxicity (class PMO effect, monitorable); less severe than golodirsen
“The pivotal nonclinical studies indicate that renal impairment can result from chronic exposure to casimersen . However, because kidney function is monitorable, the nonclinical data are considered adequate”
