AGAMREE® (vamorolone) is a first-in-class drug that works similarly to corticosteroids (anti-inflammatory medications used to help maintain muscle strength). AGAMREE® aims to retain the beneficial anti-inflammatory and muscle-strengthening aspects of corticosteroids, while decreasing some of the undesirable side effects (bone fragility, stunted growth, insulin resistance, mood changes, delay of puberty and others).
Status
AGAMREE® (vamorolone) is a dissociative steroid indicated for individuals diagnosed with Duchenne muscular dystrophy from age 2 years and older. For additional resources regarding eligibility and access, view PPMD’s Insurance Access & Coverage Roadmap.
