Study summary

This study is being performed as a post-approval safety study (PASS), per the Pharmacovigilance Risk Assessment Committee (PRAC) of the European Medicines Agency (EMA), to gather data on Translarna (ataluren) safety, effectiveness, and prescription patterns in routine clinical practice.

Read the detailed description

This is a multicenter, observational study of participants receiving Translarna based on inclusion of their data in a registry. This study is intended to enroll 360 participants across \~50 care centers in Europe and other regions over a period of \~ 2 years. The study population will include participants who are receiving usual care treatment with commercial supply of Translarna (or receiving care within a named participant early access program) and who provide consent. Participants will be followed for at least 5 years from their date of enrollment. Safety and efficacy data will be collected in conjunction with routine visits conducted as per usual care. Although there are no protocol-mandated procedures, it is expected that physicians and other caregivers will follow published treatment guidelines and standards of care.
