“The second quarter of 2024 was an exciting one for our clinical programs and pipeline. We reported new clinical data from our ACHIEVE and DELIVER trials, demonstrating meaningful impact on key biomarkers and functional improvements that reflect best-in-class potential. We are evaluating the clinical profile of different dose and dose regimens with the goal of transforming treatment for individuals living with DM1 and DMD. Based on our compelling clinical data and productive regulatory interactions, we continue to pursue expedited approval pathways and plan to provide an update on the path to registration for both programs by year-end,” said John Cox, Dyne’s president and chief executive officer. “Additionally, we highlighted the modularity of our FORCE™ platform with the presentation of robust preclinical data supporting our FSHD program, and for the first time, showed the ability of our platform to deliver enzyme replacement therapy to muscle and CNS in a Pompe disease model. We also strengthened our balance sheet to support the promise of our portfolio.”
