WALTHAM, Mass., Feb. 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dyne Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: DYN), a clinical-stage neuromuscular disease company focused on advancing life-transforming therapeutics for people living with genetically driven diseases, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2024 and recent business highlights.
"Our most recent clinical data for DYNE-101 from the ACHIEVE trial in DM1 patients showed substantial functional benefit, including the reversal of disease progression and improvement across a range of clinical measures, as well as a favorable safety profile. We believe that the compelling benefits seen with DYNE-101 result from addressing the underlying biology of this devastating neuromuscular disease through meaningful splicing correction," said John Cox, president and chief executive officer of Dyne. "With these results in hand, we are moving rapidly to initiate a Registrational Expansion Cohort to support a potential submission for U.S. Accelerated Approval. Furthermore, in DMD, we expect data from the ongoing DELIVER trial of DYNE-251 in late 2025 to support a potential submission for U.S. Accelerated Approval in early 2026, giving us the transformational opportunity to launch two important therapies in 2027."
DYNE-101 in DM1
- In January 2025, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted Fast Track designation for DYNE-101 for the treatment of myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1).
- Dyne continues to pursue Accelerated Approval in the U.S. based on splicing as a surrogate endpoint and plans to initiate a global placebo-controlled Registrational Expansion Cohort in the ACHIEVE trial that will include up to 48 patients with full enrollment planned for mid-2025 and data from this cohort planned for H1 2026.
- Dyne intends to use data from the Registrational Expansion Cohort and from the already enrolled patients in the multiple ascending dose and ongoing long-term extension portions of the ACHIEVE trial to support a potential submission for Accelerated Approval in the U.S.
- Dyne is also pursuing expedited approval pathways globally for DYNE-101.
- Dyne anticipates a potential submission for U.S. Accelerated Approval in H1 2026.
DYNE-251 in DMD
- Dyne continues to pursue expedited approval pathways globally for DYNE-251 in patients with DMD who are amenable to exon 51 skipping.
- Dyne is currently enrolling the Registrational Expansion Cohort of approximately 32 patients as part of the DELIVER trial. Dyne anticipates completion of enrollment in Q1 2025 with data from this cohort planned for late 2025.
- Dyne anticipates a potential submission for U.S. Accelerated Approval in early 2026.
