Jordan is a 15-year-old boy who has been taking VILTEPSO for six years. He is a real VILTEPSO patient and a compensated spokesperson. Here Jordan’s mom, Laura, answers a few of our questions about his journey with VILTEPSO.
Laura: In 2017, when Jordan was almost 8 years old, he started treatment with VILTEPSO as part of a clinical trial. Now, he is 15 years old and has had over 300 infusions!
Laura: He likes walking our dogs, visiting the zoo, and going to different museums. He grows his peppers in our garden and really loves cooking, especially when he gets to use his peppers! He enjoys playing board games with us as a family and video games with his friends. Lately, he’s really gotten into 3D printing and robotics.
*This describes one patient’s experience with VILTEPSO and is not intended to represent the average patient’s response. Individual patient results with VILTEPSO may vary.
VILTEPSO is indicated for the treatment of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) in patients who have a confirmed mutation of the DMD gene that is amenable to exon 53 skipping. This indication is approved under accelerated approval based on an increase in dystrophin production in skeletal muscle observed in patients treated with VILTEPSO. Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in a confirmatory trial.
