Real patient experiences with DMD and DUVYZAT

  • Meet Ryan

    Ryan, who is 16 years old, likes playing video games, managing his school's basketball team, and hanging out with friends. Hear what he has to share about DMD and DUVYZAT.

    Meet Ryan Play

    As the [basketball] manager, I am responsible to give [the team] water, fill the water bottles up, and help to support the team. I pump them up.

    — Ryan, on DUVYZAT for 4+ years

  • Meet Naythan & Ethan

    Naythan, who is 16 years old, and his brother Ethan, who is 15 years old, are both diagnosed with DMD, but despite the challenges that DMD introduces to their travel accommodations, they don't let it hold them back. Hear how Naythan and Ethan manage the challenges of DMD with the help of their parents and sisters.

    Meet the Palomino family Play

    DUVYZAT has brought a hope [to] our family that we didn't have before.

    — Gisela, mother of Naythan and Ethan

  • Talking About Duchenne

    Ryan, Naythan, and Ethan open up about the ways they talk about DMD—turning everyday conversations with friends, family, and communities into opportunities for support, understanding, and hope.

    Talking About Duchenne Play

    Ryan Michael was diagnosed at the age of 8. My initial reaction was, what is this disease, I’ve never heard of it before…I didn't know there were different types of muscular dystrophy…

    — Susan, Ryan's mom

  • Daily Life With DUVYZAT

    Ryan, Naythan, and Ethan talk about the everyday moments that help them stay consistent with DUVYZAT—from setting reminders and organizing their day to creating routines that fit their lives. They share how small habits and support from others make a big difference.

    I would encourage families to look online...and talk to your doctor about DUVYZAT to see if it would be something beneficial for your family.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Warnings and Precautions

  • Hematological Changes: DUVYZAT can cause dose-related thrombocytopenia and other signs of myelosuppression. Monitor blood count every 2 weeks for the first 2 months, at month 3, and every 3 months thereafter. Modify the dosage for confirmed thrombocytopenia. Discontinuation may be needed if abnormalities worsen.
  • Increased Triglycerides: DUVYZAT can cause elevations in triglycerides. Monitor triglycerides at 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and then every 6 months thereafter. Modify the dosage if fasting triglycerides are verified >300 mg/dL. Treatment with DUVYZAT should be discontinued if triglycerides remain elevated despite adequate dietary intervention and dosage adjustment.
  • Gastrointestinal Disturbances: Gastrointestinal disturbances, including diarrhea, nausea/vomiting, and abdominal pain were common adverse reactions in DUVYZAT clinical trials. Antiemetics or antidiarrheal medications may be considered during treatment with DUVYZAT. Modify the dosage of DUVYZAT in patients with moderate or severe diarrhea and discontinue treatment if significant symptoms persist.
  • QTc Prolongation: DUVYZAT can cause prolongation of the QTc interval. Avoid use of DUVYZAT in patients who are at an increased risk for ventricular arrhythmias (including torsades de pointes), such as those with congenital long QT syndrome, coronary artery disease, electrolyte disturbance or in patients taking concomitant medicinal products known to cause QT prolongation. Obtain ECGs prior to initiating treatment with DUVYZAT in patients with underlying cardiac disease or in patients who are taking concomitant medications that cause QT prolongation.

Adverse Reactions

The most common adverse reactions reported in >5% of patients treated with DUVYZAT are diarrhea (37%), abdominal pain (34%), thrombocytopenia (33%), nausea/vomiting (32%), hypertriglyceridemia (23%), pyrexia (13%), myalgia (9%), rash (9%), arthralgia (8%), fatigue (8%), constipation (7%), and decreased appetite (7%).

Drug Interactions

Closely monitor when DUVYZAT is used in combination with an oral CYP3A4 sensitive substrate or a sensitive substrate of the OCT2 transporter, for which a small change in substrate plasma concentrations may lead to serious toxicities.

Avoid concomitant use with other drugs that prolong the QTc interval; monitor ECG if concomitant use cannot be avoided. If concomitant use cannot be avoided, obtain ECGs when initiating, during concomitant use, and as clinically indicated. Withhold DUVYZAT if the QTc interval is >500 ms or the change from baseline is >60 ms.

INDICATION

DUVYZAT is a histone deacetylase inhibitor indicated for the treatment of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) in patients 6 years of age and older.
