Cardiomyopathy in Duchenne’s muscular dystrophy – an unmet need

 Pressing unmet need Natural history Nonclinical data

“Heart issues don’t just affect some people
with Duchenne; they affect ALL people with
Duchenne. While advances in respiratory
care have improved respiratory outcomes,
heart muscle disease…and heart failure
remain the leading cause of death in
Duchenne.” www.parentprojectmd.org/why-the-heart-matters

 Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF)
 a disease in which the heart is not relaxing properly, leading to low cardiac volumes & reduced perfusion, particularly during maximum stress
 P2, 1-month elamipretide or placebo, n=46, assessed function during stress and at rest

 Cardiac function during maximum stress favored elamipretide across numerous endpoints

POLG and replisome related disorders – an unmet need
