Frequently asked questions about DT-216P2

What is DT-216P2 used for in Friedreich Ataxia?

DT-216P2 is an investigational small molecule being developed for the treatment of Friedreich Ataxia, a rare inherited disease that causes progressive nervous system damage. It is currently in Phase 1 clinical development and has not been approved by regulatory authorities.

What does DT-216P2 target?

DT-216P2 targets the FXN gene, which encodes the protein frataxin. In Friedreich Ataxia, mutations in FXN lead to reduced frataxin levels. By targeting FXN, DT-216P2 aims to address the underlying genetic cause of the disease.

Who makes DT-216P2?

DT-216P2 is being developed by Design Therapeutics, Inc., a biopharmaceutical company publicly traded under the ticker symbol DSGN on the NASDAQ stock exchange.

What phase is DT-216P2 in?

DT-216P2 is currently in Phase 1 clinical trials. It is an investigational drug still in early-stage clinical development and has not received FDA approval. Two Phase 1 studies are listed as active, with one recruiting and one not yet recruiting participants.

What clinical trials is DT-216P2 in?

DT-216P2 is being studied in two Phase 1 trials. NCT06874010 is a multiple ascending dose study in patients with Friedreich Ataxia, currently recruiting in Australia. NCT06772870 is a single ascending dose study in healthy participants, also in Australia, which has not yet started recruiting.

Is DT-216P2 the same as any other drug?

No alternative names for DT-216P2 have been disclosed. It is identified solely by its compound designation DT-216P2 in clinical trial registries and by its developer, Design Therapeutics.
