SAREPTA IS COMMITTED TO THE ADVANCEMENT OF THERAPY
Three FDA-approved treatments now available.
EXONDYS 51 injection is supplied in single-dose vials containing 100 mg/2 mL (50 mg/mL) eteplirsen or 500 mg/10 mL (50 mg/mL) eteplirsen. Visit the EXONDYS 51 site for more information.
WHAT IS EXONDYS 51 (eteplirsen)?
EXONDYS 51 is used to treat Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) in patients who have a confirmed mutation in the dystrophin gene that can be treated by skipping exon 51. EXONDYS 51 was approved under accelerated approval. Accelerated approval allows for drugs to be approved based on a marker that is considered reasonably likely to predict a clinical benefit. EXONDYS 51 treatment increased the marker, dystrophin, in skeletal muscle in some patients. Verification of a clinical benefit may be needed for EXONDYS 51 to continue to be approved.
IMPORTANT RISK INFORMATION FOR EXONDYS 51
Allergic reactions, including wheezing, chest pain, cough, rapid heart rate, and hives have occurred in patients who were treated with EXONDYS 51. Seek immediate medical care if signs and symptoms of allergic reactions occur.
Side effects that happened at least 25% more often in 8 patients treated with EXONDYS 51 by intravenous infusion than in 4 patients treated with an inactive intravenous infusion were problems with balance (38%, 0%), vomiting (38%, 0%), and skin irritation (25%, 0%). The most common side effects were problems with balance and vomiting.
The most common side effects seen in greater than 10% of patients receiving EXONDYS 51 (N=163) in other clinical trials were headache, cough, rash, and vomiting.
You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch or call 1-800-FDA-1088. You may also report side effects to Sarepta Therapeutics at 1-888-SAREPTA (1-888-727-3782).

VYONDYS 53 is supplied in 2 mL single-dose vials containing 100 mg golodirsen (50 mg/mL). Visit the VYONDYS 53 site for more information.
WHAT IS VYONDYS 53 (golodirsen)?
VYONDYS 53 is used to treat patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) who have a confirmed mutation in the dystrophin gene that can be treated by skipping exon 53.
This indication is approved under accelerated approval based on an increase in dystrophin production in skeletal muscle observed in patients treated with VYONDYS 53. Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification of a clinical benefit in confirmatory trials.
IMPORTANT RISK INFORMATION FOR VYONDYS 53
Allergic reactions, including rash, fever, itching, hives, and inflammation and/or peeling of the skin have occurred in patients who were treated with VYONDYS 53. Seek immediate medical care if signs and symptoms of allergic reactions occur.
Damage to the kidneys was seen in animals who received golodirsen. Although damage to the kidneys was not seen in clinical studies with VYONDYS 53, potentially fatal kidney damage has occurred with other drugs that work in a similar way. Your doctor may recommend urine and blood testing before starting treatment followed by urine testing every month and a blood test every 3 months to monitor your kidneys.
Adverse reactions that have occurred in at least 20% of patients treated with VYONDYS 53 and more often than in patients who received an inactive intravenous (IV) infusion were headache (41%, 10%), fever (41%, 14%), fall (29%, 19%), pain in the abdomen (27%, 10%), infection of the nose and throat (27%, 14%), cough (27%, 19%), vomiting (27%, 19%), and nausea (20%, 10%).
Other adverse reactions that occurred in greater than 5% of patients treated with VYONDYS 53 and more often than in patients who received an inactive IV infusion were pain at the IV site, back pain, pain, diarrhea, dizziness, stretch or tear in a ligament, bruising, flu, pain in the mouth and throat, stuffy or runny nose, scrapes or scratches of the skin, ear infection, seasonal allergy, fast heartbeat, reactions related to the IV catheter site, constipation, and broken bones.

WHAT IS AMONDYS 45 (casimersen)?
AMONDYS 45 is used to treat patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) who have a confirmed mutation of the dystrophin gene that can be treated by skipping exon 45.
This indication is approved under accelerated approval based on an increase in dystrophin production in skeletal muscle observed in patients treated with AMONDYS 45. Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification of a clinical benefit in confirmatory trials.
IMPORTANT RISK INFORMATION FOR AMONDYS 45
Damage to the kidneys was seen in animals who received casimersen. Although damage to the kidneys was not seen in clinical studies with AMONDYS 45, potentially fatal kidney damage has occurred with other drugs that work in a similar way. Your doctor may recommend urine and blood testing before starting treatment followed by urine testing every month and a blood test every 3 months to monitor your kidneys.
