Clinical Advancements in Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1 and Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
DYNE-101 in Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1 (DM1)
- In June 2025, the FDA granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation to DYNE-101, marking a pivotal support for clinical advancements in the treatment of DM1. Dyne promptly submitted a revised protocol to the FDA for the Registrational Expansion Cohort of the ACHIEVE trial, emphasizing video hand opening time (vHOT) as a primary measure for U.S. Accelerated Approval.
- Exciting long-term data from adult DM1 patients in the randomized trials highlighted significant findings, notably from the 6.8 mg/kg Q8W cohort, which showed promising results over a 12-month observation period.
- With expectations to complete cohort enrollment by Q4 2025, data from this cohort is anticipated to support a BLA submission in late 2026, while a Phase 3 confirmatory trial is planned for initiation in Q1 2026.
DYNE-251 in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD)
- Dyne has recently completed enrollment of 32 patients in the Registrational Expansion Cohort of the DELIVER trial, with results projected for late 2025.
