Indications for Prior Authorization

Elevidys (delandistrogene moxeparvovec-rokl)
  • For diagnosis of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD)
    Indicated for the treatment of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) in individuals at least 4 years of age: 1) For patients who are ambulatory and have a confirmed mutation in the DMD gene, and 2) For patients who are non-ambulatory and have a confirmed mutation in the DMD gene.

    The DMD indication in non-ambulatory patients is approved under accelerated approval based on expression of Elevidys micro-dystrophin (noted hereafter as “micro-dystrophin”) in skeletal muscle. Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in a confirmatory trial(s).
