- On Track to Report Initial Data from the Global, Multiple Ascending Dose Phase 1/2 ACHIEVE Clinical Trial in the Second Half of 2023 - WALTHAM, Mass., Sept. 20, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dyne Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: DYN), a clinical-stage muscle disease company focused on advancing innovative life-transforming therapeutics for people living with genetically driven diseases, today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted orphan drug designation for DYNE-101 for the treatment of myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1). DYNE-101 is being evaluated in the Phase 1/2 global ACHIEVE clinical trial with initial data on safety, tolerability and splicing from the multiple ascending dose, placebo-controlled portion of the trial anticipated in the second half of 2023. “Receiving FDA orphan drug designation for DYNE-101 underscores the importance of bringing new treatment options to people living with DM1, a rare, devastating disease with no approved therapies. We believe DYNE-101 has the potential to be a transformative therapy which is why we designed the ACHIEVE trial to be registrational,” said Wildon Farwell, M.D., MPH, chief medical officer of Dyne. “We recognize the sense of urgency within the DM1 community and look forward to sharing initial data from the ACHIEVE trial.” Orphan drug designation is granted by the FDA to drugs or biologics intended for treatment, prevention or diagnosis of a rare disease or condition that affects fewer than 200,000 people in the United States. Under the Orphan Drug Act, orphan drug designation qualifies a company for incentives, including tax credits, exemptions from certain FDA fees for clinical trials, and the potential for seven years of market exclusivity following drug approval. About DYNE-101 DYNE-101 is an investigational therapeutic being evaluated in the Phase 1/2 global ACHIEVE clinical trial for people living with myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1). DYNE-101 consists of an antigen-binding fragment antibody (Fab) conjugated to an antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) and is designed to enable targeted muscle tissue delivery with the goal of reducing toxic DMPK RNA in the nucleus, releasing splicing proteins, allowing normal mRNA processing and translation of normal proteins, and potentially stopping or reversing the disease. Dyne has generated comprehensive preclinical data supporting its DM1 program, including reduction of nuclear foci and correction of splicing in patient cells, robust knockdown of toxic human nuclear DMPK RNA and correction of splicing in a novel in vivo model developed by Dyne, and reversal of myotonia in a disease model. In non-human primates, DYNE-101 demonstrated a favorable safety pro achieved enhanced muscle distribution as evidenced by significant reduction in wild-type DMPK RNA. DYNE-101 was also granted orphan drug designation by the European Medicines Agency for the treatment of DM1. About ACHIEVE ACHIEVE is a Phase 1/2 global clinical trial evaluating DYNE-101, consisting of a 24-week multiple ascending dose (MAD) randomized placebo-controlled period, a 24-week open-label extension and a 96-week long-term extension. The trial, which is designed to be registrational, is expected to enroll approximately 72 adult patients with DM1 who are 18 to 49 years of age. The primary endpoints are safety and tolerability, with secondary endpoints of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, including change from baseline in splicing, as well as measures of muscle strength and function. Dyne anticipates reporting initial data from the MAD placebo-controlled portion of the ACHIEVE trial on safety, tolerability and splicing in the second half of 2023. For more information on the ACHIEVE trial, visit (NCT05481879). About Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1 (DM1) DM1 is a rare, progressive, genetic disease that affects skeletal, cardiac and smooth muscle. It is a monogenic, autosomal dominant disease caused by an abnormal trinucleotide expansion in a region of the DMPK gene. This expansion of CTG repeats causes toxic RNA to cluster in the nucleus, forming nuclear foci and altering the splicing of multiple proteins essential for normal cellular function. This altered splicing, or spliceopathy, results in a wide range of symptoms. People living with DM1 typically experience progressive weakness of major muscle groups, which can affect mobility, breathing, heart function, speech, digestion and vision as well as cognition. DM1 is estimated to affect more than 40,000 people in the United States and over 74,000 people in Europe, but there are currently no approved disease-modifying therapies.
