Glaxo Muscular Dystrophy Drug Reaches Primary Objective in Study - Bloomberg: GlaxoSmithKline Plc (GSK)’s drisapersen achieved the primary objective of a mid-stage study, heating up competition with Sarepta Therapeutics Inc. (SRPT) in the race for a drug that could reverse the debilitating effects of Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
Patients taking drisapersen showed a clinically meaningful difference from those on placebo after 48 weeks of treatment, according to an abstract of the study results posted on the website of CureDuchenne, an investor in Glaxo’s partner on the drug, Dutch biotechnology company Prosensa Therapeutics BV. Glaxo will present the data at a genetics conference in Cold Spring Harbor, New York, tomorrow.
