월요일, 5월 16, 2022

WALTHAM, Mass., May 16, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dyne Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: DYN), a muscle disease company focused on advancing innovative life-transforming therapeutics for people living with genetically driven diseases, is presenting new in vivo data from DYNE-101, its myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) candidate, at the American Society of Gene & Cell Therapy (ASGCT) 25th Annual Meeting today demonstrating robust knockdown of DMPK RNA in multiple muscles with low monthly dosing.

Key Points: 
  • These findings combined with previous data demonstrating correction of splicing, support the potential for DYNE-101 to be a disease-modifying therapy with low, infrequent dosing.
  • We look forward to evaluating DYNE-101 in our planned global multiple ascending dose clinical trial in patients with DM1.
  • As a result of this altered splicing, people living with DM1 typically experience progressive weakness of skeletal, cardiac and smooth muscle.
  • The new data being presented during ASGCT evaluated monthly repeat doses of DYNE-101 in an innovative hTfR1/DMSXL mouse model developed by Dyne and in non-human primates (NHPs).
