BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Thymidine kinase 2 deficiency (TK2d) is an ultra-rare, progressive, and life-threatening mitochondrial myopathy caused by pathogenic variants of the thymidine kinase 2 gene. Patients often lose the ability to walk, eat, and breathe independently. There are no approved therapies; however, preclinical studies of pyrimidine nucleos(t)ide therapy have shown promising results. We investigated the safety and efficacy of pyrimidine nucleos(t)ide therapy in patients with TK2d.
METHODS: Medical records of children and adults with TK2d receiving pyrimidine nucleosides or nucleotides (≤800 mg/kg/d deoxycytidine and deoxythymidine [or their monophosphates]) were collected retrospectively from clinical sites globally. Data included baseline characteristics, medical history, disease-related outcomes, and treatment safety. To assess survival benefit, treated patients were compared with untreated TK2d controls from the literature.
RESULTS: Baseline demographics and clinical characteristics were comparable between treated (n = 38) and untreated (n = 69) patients. Among treated patients (55.3% male; 44.7% female), the median age of TK2d symptom onset was 2.46 years. None of the treated patients (0/38) and 58% (40/69) of untreated patients died. For time to death from TK2d symptom onset or treatment start, treated patients had a reduced risk of death compared with untreated patients (85%-93% [hazard ratio 0.067-0.147] vs 75%-91% [0.091-0.251], respectively). Exact conditional logistic regression analyses confirmed a 95% reduction in risk of death (odds ratios 0.044-0.047; all p < 0.0001). Before treatment, 71.1% (27/38) of patients lost ≥1 motor milestone and 3.7% (1/27) regained a milestone; during treatment, no patients lost milestones and 65.4% (17/26) regained ≥1. Similarly, 28.6% (6/21) of treated patients showed decreased ventilatory support duration, and none (0/21) showed increased duration. Of 8 patients on feeding support when starting treatment, 3 discontinued support. Most treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were mild (63.2%) and did not lead to discontinuation. No serious TEAEs experienced by more than 1 patient were treatment-related. Findings among patients with TK2d symptom onset of ≤12 years (n = 29) were similar to those of the overall group.
DISCUSSION: These results indicate that pyrimidine nucleos(t)ide therapy was generally well tolerated; had an acceptable safety profile; and may reduce risk of death, positively change disease trajectory, and stabilize or improve symptoms in patients with TK2d.
