Ataluren in patients with nonsense mutation Duchenne muscular dystrophy (ACT DMD): a multicentre, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 3 trial

- 23 Sep 2017 - 
TL;DR: Ataluren was generally well tolerated and most treatment-emergent adverse events were mild to moderate in severity, and there was a significant effect of ataluren in the prespecified subgroup of patients in the intention-to-treat population.
Journal ArticleDOI

Deflazacort versus prednisone/prednisolone for maintaining motor function and delaying loss of ambulation: A post HOC analysis from the ACT DMD trial.

TL;DR: This analysis suggests greater preservation of 6MWD and 4‐stair climb with deflazacort vs. prednisone/prednisolone in the placebo arm, and a head‐to‐head comparison will better define these differences.
Journal ArticleDOI

Meta-analyses of ataluren randomized controlled trials in nonsense mutation Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

TL;DR: Meta-analyses support previous evidence for ataluren in slowing disease progression versus placebo in patients with nmDMD over 48 weeks, and treatment benefit was most evident in Patients with a baseline 6MWD ≥300-<400 m (the ambulatory transition phase), thereby informing future trial design.
