Toxicological Characterization of Exon Skipping Phosphorodiamidate Morpholino Oligomers (PMOs) in Non-human Primates.

TL;DR: Nonclinical results in NHPs for these three PMOs, together with the excellent clinical safety established for eteplirsen to date, suggest that once-weekly IV administration of PMOs for lifetime durations at therapeutic doses will be well tolerated by patients with DMD.

Fructose Promotes Uptake and Activity of Oligonucleotides With Different Chemistries in a Context-dependent Manner in mdx Mice

TL;DR: Fructose can potentiate AOs of different chemistries in vivo although the effect diminished over repeated administration, and it is shown that fructose improved the potency of AOs tested with the greatest effect on phosphorodiamidate morpholino oligomer.

Dystrophin: The protein product of the duchenne muscular dystrophy locus

TL;DR: The identification of the mdx mouse as an animal model for DMD has important implications with regard to the etiology of the lethal DMD phenotype, and the protein dystrophin is named because of its identification via the isolation of the Duchenne muscular dystrophy locus.

Local Dystrophin Restoration with Antisense Oligonucleotide PRO051

TL;DR: Intramuscular injection of antisense oligonucleotide PRO051 induced dystrophin synthesis in four patients with Duchenne's muscular dystrophy who had suitable mutations, suggesting that further studies might be feasible.
