VILTEPSO Access Support
Our NS Support Patient Access Solutions team helps make treatment with VILTEPSO a real possibility by helping patients access care and navigate their journey with personalized support and downloadable resources.
Indication
VILTEPSO is indicated for the treatment of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) in patients who have a confirmed mutation of the DMD gene that is amenable to exon 53 skipping. This indication is approved under accelerated approval based on an increase in dystrophin production in skeletal muscle observed in patients treated with VILTEPSO. Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in a confirmatory trial.
Important Safety Information
In clinical studies, no patients experienced kidney toxicity during treatment with VILTEPSO. However, kidney toxicity from drugs like VILTEPSO may be possible. Your doctor may monitor the health of your kidneys before starting and during treatment with VILTEPSO.
Common side effects include upper respiratory tract infection, injection site reaction, cough, and fever.
You are encouraged to report adverse events related to VILTEPSO. To do so, or for general inquiries, please call NS Pharma Medical Information at 1-866-NSPHARM (1-866-677-4276).
