Medical Use
Amondys 45 is an antisense oligonucleotide designed to treat Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) in patients with a confirmed mutation in the DMD gene that allows for exon 45 skipping.
Dosage Recommendations:
- Standard Dose: Administer 30 mg per kilogram of body weight once a week.
- Administration: Infuse intravenously over 35 to 60 minutes using an in-line 0.2 micron filter.
If a dose of Amondys 45 (Casimersen Injection) is missed, it should be administered as soon as possible after the scheduled time.
Warning & Precautions
Before beginning Casimersen therapy, it is essential to measure serum cystatin C, perform a urine dipstick test, and determine the urine protein-to-creatinine ratio (UPCR). Additionally, consider assessing the glomerular filtration rate.
During Casimersen treatment at a dosage of 10 mg, monthly monitoring of the urine dipstick is required, while serum cystatin C and UPCR should be checked every three months.
Given the potential for nephrotoxicity with medications similar to Amondys 45, it is crucial to monitor patients for kidney toxicity throughout the treatment. Ensure urine samples are collected either before the Amondys 45 infusion or at least 48 hours post-infusion.
