BACKGROUND: Delandistrogene moxeparvovec is a gene transfer therapy approved in the United States, United Arab Emirates, and Qatar for the treatment of ambulatory patients aged four through five years with a confirmed Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD)-causing mutation in the DMD gene. This therapy was developed to address the underlying cause of DMD through targeted skeletal, respiratory, and cardiac muscle expression of delandistrogene moxeparvovec micro-dystrophin, an engineered, functional dystrophin protein.

METHODS: Drawing on clinical trial experience from Study 101 (NCT03375164), Study 102 (NCT03769116), and ENDEAVOR (Study 103; NCT04626674), we outline practical considerations for delandistrogene moxeparvovec treatment.

RESULTS: Before infusion, the following are recommended: (1) screen for anti-adeno-associated virus rhesus isolate serotype 74 total binding antibody titers <1:400; (2) assess liver function, platelet count, and troponin-I; (3) ensure patients are up to date with vaccinations and avoid vaccine coadministration with infusion; (4) administer additional corticosteroids starting one day preinfusion (for patients already on corticosteroids); and (5) postpone dosing patients with any infection or acute liver disease until event resolution. Postinfusion, the following are recommended: (1) monitor liver function weekly (three months postinfusion) and, if indicated, continue until results are unremarkable; (2) monitor troponin-I levels weekly (first month postinfusion, continuing if indicated); (3) obtain platelet counts weekly (two weeks postinfusion), continuing if indicated; and (4) maintain the corticosteroid regimen for at least 60 days postinfusion, unless earlier tapering is indicated.

CONCLUSIONS: Although the clinical safety profile of delandistrogene moxeparvovec has been consistent, monitorable, and manageable, these practical considerations may mitigate potential risks in a real-world clinical practice setting.
