Canada approves vamorolone, first new Duchenne muscular dystrophy treatment, for ages 4 and up.
Health Canada has approved AGAMREE® (vamorolone) for treating Duchenne muscular dystrophy in patients aged 4 and older, the first therapy approved for the condition in Canada.
Developed by Santhera Pharmaceuticals, vamorolone is a dissociative anti-inflammatory agent designed to provide benefits of corticosteroids with fewer side effects, particularly on growth and bone health.
Approved following a Priority Review, it showed improved safety and efficacy in the VISION-DMD trial, enhancing time to stand versus placebo.
The drug is now available in Canada under exclusive commercial rights held by Kye Pharmaceuticals, with Santhera receiving royalties.
It remains under enhanced monitoring for safety, and healthcare providers are urged to report adverse reactions.
