VILTEPSO Efficacy & Safety Profile

In a clinical study, VILTEPSO significantly increased dystrophin production in DMD patients.

Protein Icon

5.9% of Normal Levels

After 24 weeks, VILTEPSO increased 
mean dystrophin levels to nearly 6% of normal vs. 0.6% at baseline (n=8).

100% of Patients

After 20-24 weeks of treatment, 100% of patients taking VILTEPSO showed increased dystrophin levels.

Proven Safety Profile

VILTEPSO was elevated in two 24-week studies, two 48-week studies, and a 4-year open-label extension study.*

* In the pivotal 24-week study, the most common adverse reactions with VILTEPSO included upper respiratory tract infection, injection site reaction, cough, and pyrexia.

Read the VILTEPSO study design details and the results of its clinical studies. 

Pivotal 24-Week Study

A placebo-controlled, dose-finding study with ambulant males aged 4 to <10 years with DMD amenable to exon 53 skipping, who received a once-weekly infusion of 40 or 80 mg/
kg VILTEPSO or placebo for four weeks, followed by a 20-week, open-label assessment of efficacy and safety.

key FINDING
VILTEPSO significantly increased dystrophin production

Long-Term Extension Study

After completing the 24-week study, all patients chose to enroll in a 192-week open-label extension study for ongoing safety and efficacy evaluation.

Pulmonary & Upper Limb Function

Galactic53 was a Phase 2, open-label, multicenter study of VILTEPSO (80 mg/kg/wk) in ambulatory and non-ambulatory males aged 8 and older with DMD amenable to exon 53-skipping therapy.
