As Proof of concept, ataluren treatment results in full-length functional dystrophin production

• ataluren partially restored dystrophin protein in different muscle groups, including diaphragm and heart, and improved muscle function1,2

• ataluren has also been found to enhance dystrophin expression in other preclinical models of nmDMD3,4

During Phase 2a study, we demonstrated an increase in dystrophin expression in patients with nmDMD

Improvements in dystrophin were seen in ~60% of patients after 28 days of ataluren 16 mg/kg/day, 40 mg/kg/day or 80 mg/kg/day*

A mean change in dystrophin expression of 11% was observed after 28 days of treatment with ataluren (p = 0.008, paired t test)

No dose–response relationship was observed

Pretreatment End of treatment (day 28)

Immunohistochemistry of muscle cross-sections to visualize dystrophin expression in extensor digitorum brevis at baseline and after 28 days of treatment with ataluren 40 mg/kg/day

61% of patients showed an increase in dystrophin staining in 28 days of ataluren treatment

Phase IIb (Study 007): Patients receiving ataluren 40 mg/kg/day showed a smaller decline in walking ability over 48 weeks than those given placebo1

*Adjusted p value from analysis of all data across three treatment arms with 80 mg/kg/day not different from placebo; 70% of placebo and ataluren patients respectively were receiving corticosteroids through study, as part of best standard of care. 6MWD, 6-minute walk distance; CI, confidence interval.1.

• A clinically meaningful difference of 1.5 seconds1 was reached in three of the four TFT tests2, 3

• No difference was seen for the stand from supine test, due to baseline demographics2, 3

101 (87.8%) subjects had a treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE) in placebo group compared to 103 (89.6%) in the ataluren-treated group

The majority of adverse events were mild or moderate

No life threatening AE were reported in ataluren treated patients

Only 8 patients (4 in each arm) experienced at least 1 serious adverse event

SAEs in ataluren-treated patients were pneumonia, bronchiolitis, post-traumatic pain, tendon disorder, adenoidal hypertrophy and nasal turbinate hypertrophy

2 patients (1 in each arm) discontinued due to adverse events

1 ataluren-treated patient D/C due to constipation considered possibly related to study drug

ACT DMD confirms favorable safety profile for ataluren
