Safety and effectiveness of ataluren: comparison of results from the STRIDE registry and CINRG DMD Natural History Study

Strategic Targeting of Registries and International Database of Excellence (STRIDE) is an ongoing, multicenter registry providing real-world evidence regarding ataluren use in patients with nonsense mutation Duchenne muscular dystrophy (nmDMD).

The authors examined the effectiveness of ataluren + standard of care (SoC) in the registry versus SoC alone in the Cooperative International Neuromuscular Research Group (CINRG) Duchenne Natural History Study (DNHS), DMD genotype-phenotype/-ataluren benefit correlations and ataluren safety.

Propensity score matching was performed to identify STRIDE and CINRG DNHS patients who were comparable in established disease progression predictors (registry cut-off date, 9 July 2018).

Kaplan-Meier analyses demonstrated that ataluren + SoC significantly delayed age at loss of ambulation and age at worsening performance in timed function tests versus SoC alone. There were no DMD genotype-phenotype/ataluren benefit correlations. Ataluren was well tolerated.

These results indicate that ataluren + SoC delays functional milestones of DMD progression in patients with nmDMD in routine clinical practice.

ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT02369731.
