Preclinical data reinforces potential efficacy, durability of investigational gene therapy for DMD

Preclinical data reinforces potential efficacy, durability of investigational gene therapy for DMD: "Solid Biosciences announced today that new data from two preclinical studies reinforce the potential of its investigational microdystrophin gene therapy, SGT-001, to be an effective treatment approach for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). The preclinical data, which were presented at the American Society of Gene and Cell Therapy (ASGCT) 20th Annual Meeting, demonstrated that a single administration of SGT-001 resulted in sustained and significant microdystrophin expression and improvements in muscle function, with no observed immune response. The Company plans to initiate clinical trials for SGT-001 in the second half of 2017."
