New Clinical Data from Phase 1/2 DELIVER Trial of DYNE-251 in DMD

On September 3, 2024, the Company issued a press release announcing new clinical data from its ongoing Phase 1/2 DELIVER clinical trial of DYNE-251 in patients with DMD who are amenable to exon 51 skipping. The Company also provided a safety update for its ongoing Phase 1/2 ACHIEVE clinical trial of DYNE-101 in patients with myotonic dystrophy type 1 (“DM1”).

The assessment of the DELIVER trial evaluating DYNE-251 includes 6-month biomarker and functional data from 8 male participants enrolled in the 20 mg/kg (approximate PMO dose) cohort who were randomized to receive DYNE-251 or placebo once every four weeks and 12-month functional data from 6 participants who were randomized in the 10 mg/kg (approximate PMO dose) cohort. (During the open label extension period, all participants in the 10 mg/kg cohort were dose escalated to 20 mg/kg Q4W regimen.) DYNE-251 demonstrated dose dependent exon skipping and dystrophin expression and improvement in multiple functional endpoints in both cohorts.

Key findings include:

 

   

Dystrophin expression: DYNE-251 demonstrated the highest level of dystrophin expression for an exon 51 skipping therapy as measured by Western blot. Patients treated with 20 mg/kg of DYNE-251 Q4W had a mean absolute dystrophin expression of 3.71% of normal (unadjusted for muscle content), more than 10-fold higher than the 0.3% reported in a clinical trial of the weekly standard of care, eteplirsen. When adjusting for muscle content, the DYNE-251 treated group reached 8.72% mean absolute dystrophin, which is greater than levels reported by peptide conjugate PMOs in clinical development. However, the DELIVER trial does not compare DYNE-251 to eteplirsen or SRP-5051, and no head-to-head trials have


 

been conducted comparing DYNE-251 to eteplirsen or SRP-5051. Eteplirsen data and SRP-5051 data may not be directly comparable to the DELIVER data due to differences between the trials in trial protocols, dosing regimens, methodologies for calculating muscle content adjusted dystrophin and patient populations. Accordingly, these cross-trial comparisons may not be reliable.

 

   

Function: Meaningful improvements in multiple functional endpoints were observed in both the 20 mg/kg and 10 mg/kg DYNE-251 Q4W groups, including North Star Ambulatory Assessment (“NSAA”), Stride Velocity 95th Centile (“SV95C”), 10-Meter Walk/Run Time (“10-MWR”), Time to Rise from Floor. The 10 mg/kg cohort showed continued improvement in all reported measures from 6 months to 12 months.

 

   

SV95C is a digital objective outcome measure of ambulatory performance in patients’ normal daily environment and is approved as a primary endpoint for DMD clinical trials in Europe. The change from baseline observed in both the 10 mg/kg and 20 mg/kg cohorts of DELIVER met the published minimal clinically important difference (“MCID”) as defined by the European Medicines Agency.

 

   

Safety and Tolerability: Safety and tolerability data are based on 54 participants enrolled in the DELIVER trial. DYNE-251 demonstrated a favorable safety profile and the majority of treatment emergent adverse events were mild or moderate, as of the safety data cut-off date of August 21, 2024. No related serious treatment emergent adverse events were identified other than in two participants at the 40 mg/kg dose level which events were potentially related to study drug. Both participants have recovered. Approximately 675 doses have been administered to date in the DELIVER trial, representing over 50 patient-years of follow-up.

Key Milestones for DELIVER and ACHIEVE Trials

 

   

Based on these data and regulatory interactions, the Company is initiating registrational cohorts in the DELIVER trial and plans to provide an update on the path to registration by the end of 2024.

 

   

The Company is also executing its ongoing Phase 1/2 ACHIEVE clinical trial of DYNE-101 in DM1. The safety profile of DYNE-101 continues to be favorable and includes safety data up to the 6.8 mg/kg Q8W cohort, as of the safety data cut-off date of August 20, 2024. The Company continues to engage with global regulators, including the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, and plans to provide an update on the path to registration for DYNE-101, including additional clinical data, by the end of 2024.

Data Presentation

On September 3, 2024, the Company made available a presentation to discuss the clinical data from the DELIVER clinical trial. A copy of the presentation is filed as Exhibit 99.2 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

Dyne Therapeutics Announces New Clinical Data from Phase 1/2 DELIVER Trial of DYNE-

251 in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Demonstrating Unprecedented Dystrophin

Expression and Functional Improvement in Multiple Cohorts

- Initiating Registrational Cohorts with Update on Path to Registration by Year-End 2024 -

- Virtual Investor Event Today at 8:00 a.m. ET -

WALTHAM, Mass., September 3, 2024 – Dyne Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: DYN), a clinical-stage muscle disease company focused on advancing innovative life-transforming therapeutics for people living with genetically driven diseases, today announced new clinical data from its ongoing Phase 1/2 DELIVER trial of DYNE-251 in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) who are amenable to exon 51 skipping demonstrating unprecedented dystrophin expression and functional improvement in multiple cohorts.

“We believe these data reinforce the opportunity to transform the treatment paradigm for individuals living with Duchenne. In DELIVER, DYNE-251 achieved the highest level of dystrophin expression reported for an exon 51 skipping therapy and improvement in multiple functional endpoints across multiple cohorts that continued with time on therapy,” said Wildon Farwell, M.D., MPH, chief medical officer of Dyne. “Our goal has always been to drive dystrophin levels that lead to functional benefit for patients – these data suggest that the distribution across cardiac, diaphragm and other skeletal muscles observed preclinically with the FORCE platform is translating in the clinic. Importantly, treatment with DYNE-251 resulted in meaningful improvements in SV95C, a digital outcome measure approved as a primary endpoint for Duchenne clinical trials in Europe. With these exciting data, we are moving quickly to initiate registrational cohorts in DELIVER, and we continue to pursue expedited approval pathways and plan to provide an update on our path to registration by the end of this year.”

This assessment of the DELIVER trial evaluating DYNE-251 includes 6-month biomarker and functional data from 8 male patients enrolled in the 20 mg/kg (approximate PMO dose) cohort who were randomized to receive DYNE-251 or placebo once every four weeks, and 12-month functional data from 6 participants in the 10 mg/kg cohort.1 DYNE-251 demonstrated dose dependent exon skipping and dystrophin expression and improvement in multiple functional endpoints in both cohorts. Key findings include:

 

   

Dystrophin expression: DYNE-251 demonstrated unprecedented dystrophin expression as measured by Western blot. Patients treated with 20 mg/kg of DYNE-251 Q4W had a mean absolute dystrophin expression of 3.71% of normal (unadjusted for muscle content), more than 10-fold higher than the 0.3% reported in a clinical trial of the weekly standard of care, eteplirsen.2 When adjusting for muscle content, the DYNE-251 treated group reached 8.72% mean absolute dystrophin, which is greater than levels reported by peptide conjugate PMOs in clinical development.3

 

   

Function: Meaningful improvements in multiple functional endpoints were observed in both the 20 mg/kg and 10 mg/kg DYNE-251 Q4W groups, including North Star Ambulatory Assessment (NSAA), Stride Velocity 95th Centile (SV95C), 10-Meter Walk/Run Time (10-MWR), Time to Rise from Floor. The 10 mg/kg cohort showed continued improvement in all reported measures from 6 months to 12 months.1

About DYNE-251

DYNE-251 is an investigational therapeutic being evaluated in the Phase 1/2 global DELIVER clinical trial for people living with DMD who are amenable to exon 51 skipping. DYNE-251 consists of a phosphorodiamidate morpholino oligomer (PMO) conjugated to a fragment antibody (Fab) that binds to the transferrin receptor 1 (TfR1) which is highly expressed on muscle. It is designed to enable targeted muscle tissue delivery and promote exon skipping in the nucleus, allowing muscle cells to create a truncated, functional dystrophin protein, with the goal of stopping or reversing disease progression. DYNE-251 has been granted fast track, orphan drug and rare pediatric disease designations by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of DMD mutations amenable to exon 51 skipping.

In addition to DYNE-251, Dyne is building a global DMD franchise and has preclinical programs targeting other exons, including 53, 45 and 44.

About Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD)

DMD is a rare disease caused by mutations in the gene that encodes for dystrophin, a protein critical for the normal function of muscle cells. These mutations, the majority of which are deletions, result in the lack of dystrophin protein and progressive loss of muscle function. DMD occurs primarily in males and affects an estimated 12,000 to 15,000 individuals in the U.S. and 25,000 in Europe. Loss of strength and function typically first appears in pre-school age boys and worsens as they age. As the disease progresses, the severity of damage to skeletal and cardiac muscle often results in patients experiencing total loss of ambulation by their early teenage years and includes worsening cardiac and respiratory symptoms and loss of upper body function by the later teens. There is no cure for DMD and currently approved therapies provide limited benefit.

About Dyne Therapeutics

Dyne Therapeutics is a clinical-stage muscle disease company focused on advancing innovative life-transforming therapeutics for people living with genetically driven diseases. With its proprietary FORCE platform, Dyne is developing modern oligonucleotide therapeutics that are designed to overcome limitations in delivery to muscle tissue. Dyne has a broad pipeline for serious muscle diseases, including clinical programs for myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) and Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and a preclinical program for facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD).
