About Stoke Therapeutics
Stoke Therapeutics (Nasdaq: STOK), is a biotechnology company
dedicated to restoring protein expression by harnessing the body’s
potential with RNA medicine. Using Stoke’s proprietary TANGO
(Targeted Augmentation of Nuclear Gene Output) approach, Stoke is
developing antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) to selectively restore
protein levels. Stoke’s first compound, zorevunersen (STK-001), is
in clinical testing for the treatment of Dravet syndrome, a severe
and progressive genetic epilepsy. Dravet syndrome is one of many
diseases caused by a haploinsufficiency, in which a loss of ~50% of
normal protein levels leads to disease. Stoke is pursuing the
development of STK-002 for the treatment of autosomal dominant
optic atrophy (ADOA), the most common inherited optic nerve
disorder. Stoke’s initial focus is haploinsufficiencies and
diseases of the central nervous system and the eye, although proof
of concept has been demonstrated in other organs, tissues, and
systems, supporting its belief in the broad potential for its
proprietary approach. Stoke is headquartered in Bedford,
Massachusetts with offices in Cambridge, Massachusetts. For more

About Zorevunersen
Zorevunersen is an investigational new medicine for the
treatment of Dravet syndrome currently being evaluated in ongoing
clinical trials. Stoke believes that zorevunersen, a proprietary
antisense oligonucleotide (ASO), has the potential to be the first
disease-modifying therapy to address the genetic cause of Dravet
syndrome. Zorevunersen is designed to upregulate NaV1.1 protein
expression by leveraging the non-mutant (wild-type) copy of the
SCN1A gene to restore physiological NaV1.1 levels, thereby reducing
both occurrence of seizures and significant non-seizure
comorbidities. Zorevunersen has been granted orphan drug
designation by the FDA and the EMA. The FDA has also granted
zorevunersen rare pediatric disease designation and Breakthrough
Therapy Designation for the treatment of Dravet syndrome with a
confirmed mutation, not associated with gain-of-function, in the
SCN1A gene.
