Solid Bio's DMD Gene Therapy Shows Promising Early Data, No New Safety Concerns, But Fails To Cheer Investors

Solid Bio公司的DMD基因療法顯示有希望的早期數據,沒有新的安全擔憂,但未能鼓舞投資者

Solid Biosciences Inc (NASDAQ: SLDBreported interim functional, biomarker data, and patient-reported outcome measures from its ongoing IGNITE Phase 1/2 trial of its lead gene therapy candidate, SGT-001 in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD).

固體生物科學公司(納斯達克:SLDB) 已報告的臨時功能、生物標誌物數據,以及患者報告的結果度量從其正在進行的點火階段1/2試驗其領先的候選基因治療藥物SGT-001在杜氏肌營養不良症(DMD)中得到了廣泛應用。

  • While IGNITE-DMD was designed to assess the microdystrophin protein expression and distribution, the company instead chose to highlight the functional and patient-reported outcomes at the 12-month mark.
  • Analysts and investors are less certain about the takeaway, driving the stock price lower. 
  • Data will be presented at the Muscular Dystrophy Association’s virtual clinical and scientific conference.
  • Sarepta Therapeutics Inc’s Duchenne gene therapy, which failed in a Phase 2 study readout, recently sported 1.7 point improvement in NSAA total score (all-important functional endpoint) compared to 0.9 on placebo. 
  • Solid Bio spurred even smaller improvement on the NSAA score at a mean of 1.0 point in the low dose group and 0.3 points in the high dose group.
  • The untreated control cohort exhibited a mean decline of 4.0 points.
  • On the 6-minute walk test, patients in the low-dose cohort walked 37 meters more on average, while the high-dose cohort had a mean improvement of 49.7 meters. Patients in the untreated control cohort exhibited a decline of 8.5 meters.
  • As for FVC, within a year untreated control cohort exhibited a mean decline of 10.7% on an absolute basis, while patients in the low dose and high dose cohorts exhibited a mean improvement of 3.9% and 16.7%, respectively, over the same period.
  • The biomarker data were more mixed. Though the high-dose group saw a sustained decline in creatine kinase (a marker of damage) of around 50%, the low dose cohort saw CK increase 166%, while the control group had an average CK increase of 17%.
  • Starting with the 7th patient in IGNITE-DMD, Solid is testing a second-generation construct that would cut the viral load by half and be administered within a modified regimen.
  • The Phase 1/2 DMD study was held down by clinical holds for almost three years. In March 2018, the FDA instituted a clinical hold after one patient was hospitalized due to a drop in platelet and red blood cell levels, followed by an immune reaction.
  • The agency cleared the study to resume in June 2018, only to halt it again in November 2019 after a patient developed complications similar to those that led to the first clinical hold.
  • Finally, in October last year, the FDA lifted the hold as the company agreed to lower the maximum weight of patients in the study, a change intended to boost safety.
  • Price Action: SLDB shares are trading 10.3% lower at $8.53 in premarket on the last check Tuesday.
  • 雖然IGNITE-DMD旨在評估微營養不良蛋白的表達和分佈,但該公司選擇在12個月時強調功能和患者報告的結果。
  • 分析師和投資者對外賣不太確定,導致股價走低。
  • 數據將在肌肉營養不良協會的虛擬臨牀和科學會議上公佈。
  • Sarepta治療公司的杜興基因療法,它第二階段研究讀數失敗最近,與安慰劑組的0.9分相比,NSAA總分(所有重要的功能終點)提高了1.7分。
  • Solid Bio對NSAA評分的改善更小,低劑量組平均為1.0分,高劑量組為0.3分。
  • 未經治療的對照組平均下降4.0分。
  • 在6分鐘步行測試中,低劑量組的患者平均多步行37米,而高劑量組的患者平均改善49.7米。未經治療的對照組患者下降了8.5米。
  • 至於用力肺活量(FVC),在一年內,未經治療的對照組的絕對值平均下降了10.7%,而同期低劑量組和高劑量組的患者分別平均改善了3.9%和16.7%。
  • 生物標記物的數據更是喜憂參半。儘管高劑量組的肌酸激酶(一種損傷標誌)持續下降了約50%,但低劑量組的CK上升了166%,而對照組的CK平均上升了17%,而高劑量組的CK持續下降了約50%,而低劑量組的CK上升了166%,而對照組的CK平均上升了17%。
  • 從IGNITE-DMD的第7名患者開始,Solid公司正在測試一種第二代結構,這種結構將把病毒載量減少一半,並在修改後的方案中使用。
  • 1/2期DMD研究被臨牀擱置了近三年。2018年3月,FDA在一名患者因血小板和紅細胞水平下降而住院後,實施了臨牀擱置,隨後出現了免疫反應。
  • 該機構批准了這項研究於2018年6月恢復,但在一名患者出現與導致首次臨牀擱置的併發症類似的併發症後,該研究於2019年11月再次停止。
  • 最後,去年10月,美國食品藥品監督管理局解除了這一禁令。由於該公司同意降低研究中患者的最大體重,這一變化旨在提高安全性。
  • 價格行動:在週二的最後一次檢查中,SLDB的股價在盤前交易中下跌10.3%,至8.53美元。
