  • Solid Biosciences Inc (NASDAQ:SLDB) has reported two-year interim efficacy and safety data from the first three patients treated with SGT-001 in the high dose (2E14 vg/kg) cohort as part of IGNITE DMD. 
  • Results suggest durable benefit 24-months post-administration of SGT-001 compared to natural history, consistent with results reported at the 12-month and 18-month periods.
  • Data from Patients 4-6 suggest improved motor function at two years post-infusion, against expected natural history declines. 
  • In addition, the data suggested improved pulmonary function and sustained or improved patient-reported outcome measures compared to both baseline and natural history.

  • No new drug-related safety findings have been identified in Patients 1-9 in post-dosing periods of 90 days to approximately four years. 
  • The Company plans to conclude dosing patients as part of IGNITE DMD this year and begin End of Phase II discussions with the FDA.
  • Solid held $207.8 million in cash, cash equivalents, and available-for-sale securities, sufficient to fund its operations and capital expenditures into Q3 of 2023.
  • Price Action: SLDB shares are down 6.25% at $0.99 during the market session on the last check Monday.
