Myotonic Dystrophy (DM): Disease Understanding and Treatment Algorithm

Myotonic Dystrophy (DM) overview

According to the National Organization for Rare Disorders (NORD), myotonic dystrophy (DM) refers to a group of two rare genetic (autosomal dominant) disorders of muscle affecting multiple systems of the body; characterized by a clinical triad of progressive weakness, myotonia, and early-onset cataracts. DM is a type of muscular dystrophy. Muscular dystrophies are characterized by weakness and degeneration of various voluntary muscles of the body. Specific abnormalities characterize each disorder (e.g., variation of muscle fiber size, muscle fiber necrosis, scar tissue formation, and inflammation) in muscle biopsy from patients. There are two main types of DM— DM type 1 (DM1) and DM type 2 (DM2). DM1 is also known as Steinert disease, named after Dr. Steinert, who, along with colleagues, first described the classic form in the medical literature in 1909. DM2 is also known as Ricker syndrome or proximal DM or PROMM.

A change or alteration causes DM1 in the myotonic dystrophy protein kinase (DMPK) gene. DM2 is caused by a change or alteration in the nucleic acid-binding protein (CNBP) gene, also called the ZNF9 gene. It is caused when a certain segment of DNA at the end of a gene is abnormally repeated many times, forming an unstable region in the gene, and is called a triplet repeat expansion. Unaffected individuals have a small number of repeats (up to about 35) in this region, but in affected individuals, the number can be much higher— rising to several thousand in congenitally affected population; DM1 is estimated to affect about 1 in 8,000–20,000 people in the general population. However, the prevalence of DM1 and DM2 vary greatly among different countries and ethnic groups.

Diagnosis of DM may be suspected based upon a thorough clinical evaluation, a detailed patient and family history, and identifying characteristic physical findings. A family history of muscle weakness and myotonia strongly indicates a DM diagnosis. Several laboratory tests can clarify the clinical diagnosis of DM, including blood tests, electromyography (EMG), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), muscle biopsy, and genetic testing. Though different diagnostic options are available, the definitive test for DM is a genetic test.

Currently, no approved treatment offers a permanent cure for DM, but researchers are studying ways to help people with these disorders. Current treatment is directed toward the specific symptoms that are apparent in each individual. Pharmacological management of DM involves the usage of pain medications like nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs), gabapentin, tricyclic antidepressants, mexiletine, and low-doses of glucocorticoids such as prednisone. Surgical procedures are opted for removing cataracts if they affect vision. However, there have been reports that cataracts can recur after removal. Some people with breathing problems during sleep may require noninvasive ventilation, which involves breathing support with a mask or similar device. Medical devices like a pacemaker or implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) are advised for individuals with cardiological complications.

Myotonic Dystrophy (DM) Diagnosis and Treatment

It covers the details of conventional and current medical therapies and diagnoses available in the myotonic dystrophy (DM) market to treat the condition. It also provides country-wise treatment guidelines and algorithms across the United States, Europe, and Japan.

Myotonic Dystrophy (DM) Epidemiology

The myotonic dystrophy (DM) epidemiology division provides insights into the historical and current patient pool and the forecasted trend for every 7MM. It helps recognize the causes of current and forecasted trends by exploring numerous studies and views of KOL. The report also provides the prevalent patient pool, trends, and assumptions.

Key Findings

The disease epidemiology covered in the report provides historical and forecasted myotonic dystrophy (DM) epidemiology segmented as the diagnosed prevalent cases of myotonic dystrophy (DM), type-specific diagnosed cases of myotonic dystrophy (DM), type-specific diagnosed cases of DM1, age-specific diagnosed cases of DM, and comorbidity associated diagnosed cases with myotonic dystrophy (DM). The report includes the prevalent myotonic dystrophy (DM) scenario in the 7MM covering the United States, EU5 countries (Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom), and Japan from 2019 to 2032.

Country-wise Myotonic Dystrophy (DM) Epidemiology

The epidemiology segment also provides the myotonic dystrophy (DM) epidemiology data and findings across the United States, EU5 (Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom), and Japan.

The total diagnosed prevalent patient population of myotonic dystrophy (DM) in the 7MM countries was close to 80,000 cases in 2021.

As per the estimates, the US had the highest patient population of myotonic dystrophy (DM) in 2021. Among the EU5 countries, Germany had the highest diagnosed patient population of myotonic dystrophy (DM), with over 9,000 cases, followed by France in 2021. On the other hand, Spain had the lowest diagnosed prevalent patient population of myotonic dystrophy (DM), with approximately 6,000 cases in 2021.

Myotonic Dystrophy (DM) Drug Chapters

The drug chapter segment of the myotonic dystrophy (DM) report encloses the detailed analysis of myotonic dystrophy (DM) marketed drugs and late-stage (Phase III, Phase II/III, Phase II, and Phase I/II) pipeline drugs. It also helps understand the myotonic dystrophy (DM) clinical trial details, expressive pharmacological action, agreements and collaborations, approval and patent details, advantages and disadvantages of each included drug, and the latest news and press releases.

The current standard of care lacks disease-modifying therapy. Management consists primarily of monitoring for complications and standard of care (assistive devices, hormone therapy, and pain medication). A few clinical studies have systematically evaluated the use of therapeutic agents in DM. The lack of scientific evidence paired with the multi-systematic and highly variable presentation of the disease makes identifying and selecting appropriate medications particularly challenging for prescribing physicians.

Thus, there is an urgent need to identify existing medications that are potentially safe and effective for DM patients and evaluate these therapies using appropriate clinical trials.

Myotonic Dystrophy (DM) Emerging Drugs

Drug developers are gradually shifting their attention toward myotonic dystrophy (DM) to meet the patient pool’s current demands and counter the unmet needs of the therapeutic market.

Several companies are working robustly on many new therapies, such as AMO-02 (AMO Pharma Limited), mexiletine (Lupin Ltd.), and pitolisant (Harmony Biosciences, LLC).

AMO-02 (AMO Pharma Limited) is in development for treating congenital myotonic dystrophy (CDM) and has the potential for use in additional CNS, neuromuscular and other orphan indications. It has a dual mechanism disrupting the pathogenic RNA repeat in CDM1 and inhibiting excess levels of the kinase GSK3β. Currently, the company conducts two Phase II/III studies in children and adolescents with CDM.
