Solid provides updates on IGNITE DMD and SGT-003, next generation gene therapy pipeline initiative

Solid Biosciences has shared an update with the community on dosing as part of the IGNITE DMD Phase I/II clinical trial, developments for next generation gene therapy pipeline initiative SGT-003 and their collaboration with Ultragenyx.

It was reported  that the eighth patient in IGNITE DMD, the fifth patient in the high dose 2E14 vg/kg cohort, that was treated with SGT-001 and experienced a serious adverse event has fully resolved. The patient experienced an SAE that was not unexpected. Following dosing of two patients with second-generation manufacturing process and clinical strategy, Solid conducted an extensive review of all clinical data, resulting in a strengthened risk mitigation plan including new patient management guidance which has been submitted to the FDA. 

Activities are underway to advance IGNITE DMD with the next patient dosing anticipated later this year. No new drug-related safety findings have been identified in Patients 1 through 8 in post-dosing periods of 90-days to more than 3 years. Dosed patients continue to be followed in order to collect data to support the potential benefit from dosing SGT-001.

Solid also reports that preclinical activities progressed on the internally developed next-generation Duchenne microdystrophin gene transfer program, SGT-003, including proof of concept research; manufacturing, regulatory and clinical strategies; and development and validation of screening assays to support clinical dosing. The company is targeting an IND submission for SGT-003 in early-2023.

This afternoon, we issued a press release providing updates on Solid’s business, including dosing as part of the IGNITE DMD Phase I/II clinical trial, and developments for our next generation gene therapy pipeline initiative SGT-003 and our collaboration with Ultragenyx. We are pleased to have made progress on these key strategic priorities and advance our mission of developing meaningful treatments for patients.

IGNITE DMD Clinical Trial Update

As previously reported, in April 2021, the eighth patient in IGNITE DMD, and fifth patient in the 2E14 vg/kg cohort, was treated with SGT-001. The patient experienced an SAE that was not unexpected and which we’re pleased to share has fully resolved.

Following dosing of two patients with our second-generation manufacturing process and clinical strategy, we conducted an extensive review of all clinical data, resulting in a strengthened risk mitigation plan including new patient management guidance which has been submitted to the FDA. Activities are underway to advance IGNITE DMD with the next patient dosing anticipated later this year.

No new drug-related safety findings have been identified in Patients 1 through 8 in post-dosing periods of 90-days to more than 3 years. We continue to follow dosed patients and collect data to support the potential benefit from dosing SGT-001.

R&D Pipeline Update

Preclinical activities progressed on our internally developed next-generation Duchenne microdystrophin gene transfer program, SGT-003, including proof of concept research; manufacturing, regulatory and clinical strategies; and development and validation of screening assays to support clinical dosing. We are targeting an IND submission for SGT-003 in early-2023.We’ve also made progress in our ongoing collaboration with Ultragenyx.
