Drug Drug Description Mipomersen An oligonucleotide drug used for the treatment of homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia. Custirsen Investigated for use/treatment in brain cancer and breast cancer. Fomivirsen Indicated for the local treatment of cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis in patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), when other therapy has been ineffective or is considered unsuitable [FDA Label, L1428]. Oblimersen Not Annotated Eteplirsen An antisense oligonucleotide used to treat Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) in patients with a confirmed mutation of the DMD gene that is amenable to exon 51 skipping. Nusinersen A medication used to treat spinal muscular atrophy. Inotersen An antisense oligonucleotide used to treat polyneuropathy of hereditary transthyretin-mediated amyloidosis. Givosiran A 5-aminolevulinic acid synthase-directed small interfering RNA (siRNA) used in the prophylaxis of acute hepatic porphyria. Golodirsen A drug used to treat certain mutations that cause Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Viltolarsen An antisense phosphorodiamidate morpholino oligonucleotide specific for exon 53 of the human DMD gene that is capable of inducing exon 53 skipping to produce a functional truncated dystrophin protein in Duchenne muscular dystrophy patients with specific underlying mutations. Casimersen An antisense phosphorodiamidate morpholino oligonucleotide used to treat Duchenne muscular dystrophy patients with mutations amenable to exon 45 skipping. Vutrisiran A transthyretin-directed small interfering RNA used to treat polyneuropathy associated with hereditary transthyretin-mediated amyloidosis. Tofersen An antisense oligonucleotide indicated for the treatment of adult amyotrophic lateral sclerosis caused by SOD1 mutation. Atesidorsen Not Annotated - Drugs & Drug Targets
