Vyondys 53: which tox species, and why?
golodirsen · DMD exon 53 (PMO)
Species
Mouse, cynomolgus monkey (adult males) and juvenile rat
“The toxicity of golodirsen was assessed in adult male C57BL/6NCrl mouse and cynomolgus monkey and in male juvenile Sprague Dawley rat.”
Why that species
Human-specific sequence; no in vivo pharmacology, species chosen for exposure/toxicity; rat considered relevant for kidney
“No in vivo nonclinical studies were conducted to assess the extent of exon 53 skipping by golodirsen.”
Surrogate molecule
No surrogate for golodirsen; proof of concept relied on murine exon 23 PMO AVI-4225 from eteplirsen program
“These in vivo studies were conducted using a murine surrogate PMO, AVI-4225, in the mdx mouse, an animal model of DMD.”
