FibroGen Announces Topline Results from LELANTOS-2, a Phase 3 Clinical Study of Pamrevlumab in Ambulatory Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy 

FibroGen announced topline data from their Phase 3 trials of their novel antifibrotic agent, pamrevulmab, a connective tissue growth factor antibody for the treatment for ambulatory individuals with Duchenne. While pamrevlumab was generally safe and well tolerated, the study unfortunately did not meet the primary endpoint.  Pamrevlumab also failed to meet its primary endpoint in non-ambulatory individuals earlier this year. 

Decoding Gene Therapy for Duchenne

While there is currently no cure for Duchenne muscular dystrophy, gene therapy has the potential to target the underlying genetic cause of many mono genetic diseases and could potentially benefit […]

Edgewise Therapeutics Announces Positive 12-Month Topline Results From The ARCH Open Label Study Of EDG-5506 In Adults With Becker Muscular Dystrophy (BMD)

The positive results from the 12-month ARCH study support the hypothesis that a reduction in contraction-induced muscle damage in muscular dystrophies, associated with EDG-5506 administration, has the potential to preserve and improve muscle function while preventing disease progression in dystrophinopathies. Observations from ARCH identified key factors, including the optimal dosing strategy of EDG-5506, for the design of a potentially registrational trial. A pivotal cohort, GRAND CANYON, has been added to the CANYON study and is anticipated to begin enrollment in the third quarter of 2023.
