DENIAL TEXT: Per your health plan's guideline, authorization for renewal requires documentation that the adverse effects that occurred with prednisone therapy did not occur or were tolerable with Emflaza therapy. Your provider did not indicate that the adverse effects you had with prednisone did not occur with Emflaza therapy and therefore your request was not approved. RATIONALE To promote the first line use of prednisone prior to the use of Emflaza. The American Academy of Neurology (AAN) recommends prednisone and deflazacort as the preferred corticosteroids for DMD. Both are considered to be similar in efficacy as measured by slowing decline in motor, respiratory, or cardiac function, but the two agents may differ in their side effect profile. Emflaza is a derivative of prednisone that was designed to cause less adverse effects that are commonly observed with chronic corticosteroid use. This may confer an advantage in the DMD population who are at a disproportionately higher risk of developing osteoporosis or weight gain, which can contribute to an earlier loss of ambulation. AAN notes prednisone may be associated with a greater weight gain within the first 12 months (5kg vs 2kg), with no significant weight gain with longer term use for Emflaza. No differences in behavioral changes have been established, and data are insufficient to assess the risk for fractures, cataracts, or effects on blood glucose metabolism. While both agents improve muscle strength equally well, there is no evidence in the medical literature that deflazacort is superior to prednisone with a delay in loss in ambulation. FDA APPROVED INDICATIONS Emflaza is indicated for the treatment of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) in patients 5 years of age and older. Page 4
5 DOSING Emflaza dosing: The recommended once-daily dosage of Emflaza is approximately 0.9 mg/kg/day administered orally. For ambulatory patients, the dose of glucocorticoid is commonly increased as the child grows, with a prednisone cap of approximately mg/day and a deflazacort cap of mg/day. Prednisone dosing: Prednisone 0.75 mg/kg/day has significant benefit in DMD management and should be considered the optimal prednisone dose at this point. Prednisone 10 mg/kg/weekend is equally effective over a 12-month period, although long-term outcomes of this alternate regimen remain to be seen.
