Givinostat, sold under the brand name Duvyzat is a medication used for the treatment of Duchenne muscular dystrophy. It is a histone deacetylase inhibitor with potential anti-inflammatory, anti-angiogenic, and antineoplastic activities. It is a histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor that works by targeting pathogenic processes to reduce inflammation and loss of muscle.

The most common side effects include diarrhea, abdominal pain, low platelets (thrombocytopenia), nausea/vomiting, an increase in triglycerides (a type of fat in the body) (hypertriglyceridemia), and fever.

Givinostat was approved for medical use in the United States in March 2024. Givinostat is the first nonsteroidal medication approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat people with all genetic variants of Duchenne muscular dystrophy. The FDA considers it to be a first-in-class medication.
