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.

    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.

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

DMD, Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

Indication and Important Safety Information

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

Important Safety Information

Warnings and precautions

  • Hematological Changes: DUVYZAT can cause dose-related thrombocytopenia and other signs of myelosuppression, including anemia and neutropenia. Monitor platelets; dosage adjustment or discontinuation may be needed.
  • Increased Triglycerides: An increase in triglycerides can occur; dosage modification may be needed. Discontinuation may be needed.
  • Gastrointestinal Disturbances: Adjust dosage if moderate or severe diarrhea occurs. Antiemetics or antidiarrheal medications may be considered during treatment with DUVYZAT. Discontinue DUVYZAT if the symptoms persist.
  • QTc Prolongation: Avoid use of DUVYZAT in patients who are at an increased risk for ventricular arrhythmias.

Recommended Evaluation and Testing Before Initiation of DUVYZAT:

Obtain and evaluate baseline platelet counts and triglycerides prior to initiation of DUVYZAT. Do not initiate DUVYZAT in patients with a platelet count less than 150 x 109/L. Monitor platelet counts and triglycerides as recommended during treatment to determine if dosage modifications are needed.

In addition, in patients with underlying cardiac disease or taking concomitant medications that cause QT prolongation, obtain ECGs when initiating treatment with DUVYZAT, during concomitant use, and as clinically indicated.

Most Common Adverse Reactions:

Most common adverse reactions (≥10% in DUVYZAT-treated patients) are diarrhea, abdominal pain, thrombocytopenia, nausea/vomiting, hypertriglyceridemia, and pyrexia.
