Delandistrogene moxeparvovec, sold under the brand name Elevidys, is a recombinant gene therapy used for the treatment of Duchenne muscular dystrophy.[3] It is designed to deliver into the body a gene that leads to production of Elevidys micro-dystrophin that contains selected domains of the dystrophin protein present in normal muscle cells.[3] It is an adeno-associated virus vector-based gene therapy that is given by intravenous infusion (slow injection into a vein).[1]

The most commonly reported side effects include vomiting, nausea, acute liver injury, pyrexia (fever), and thrombocytopenia (abnormally low platelet count in the blood).[3]

Delandistrogene moxeparvovec was approved for medical use in the United States in June 2023.[3][4] It was developed by Sarepta Therapeutics, together with Roche, and is manufactured by Catalent.[5]
