General information

Ataluren is a pharmaceutical drug. It was approved in the European Union in 2014 for the treatment of Duchenne muscular dystrophy and it is sold under the name Translarna™. It does not yet have approval from the FDA. Ataluren targets nonsense mutations, where it is able to skip and produce full-length protein. In relation to cystic fibrosis, our AIM tool found the data that ataluren can be beneficial for patients with nonsense mutations who are not treated with tobramycin.
