SAT-3247 120 mgACTIVE_COMPARATORPart 1: SAT-3247 120 mg oral tablets administered daily for 12 weeks. Part 2: SAT-3247 120 mg oral tablets administered daily for an additional 9 months after completing Part 1; note the 120 mg dose will not be studied in the US and Canada
placeboPLACEBO_COMPARATORPart 1: placebo oral tablets administered daily for 12 weeks
Treatment ArmEXPERIMENTALSAT-3247 60 mg administered orally in a 5-days on/2-days off (weekday) dosing regimen
SAT-3247EXPERIMENTALSAT-3247 is an oral tablet that is a potent, muscle penetrant, small molecule inhibitor of AAK1; inhibition of AAK1 rescues perturbed asymmetric division of satellite stem cells, resulting in increased muscle regeneration in animal models of DMD. In vitro and in vivo animal pharmacology studies have demonstrated the efficacy of SAT-3247 in improving muscle strength and the necessary target coverage to maximize functional muscle improvement. Part A: Participants will receive one oral dose of SAT-3247 in accord with cohort assignment (1) 10 mg, (2) 50 mg, (3) 150 mg, (4) 300 mg, (5) 400 mg Part B: Participants will receive one oral dose of SAT-3247 daily for seven days in accord with cohort assignment (1) 60 mg, (2) 120 mg, (3)180 mg, (4) 240 mg Part C: Participants will receive one oral dose of SAT-3247 150 mg, following completion of Part A at the same dose Part D: All participants will receive one SAT-3247 60 mg dose once daily for 5 consecutive days of each of 4 weeks

Frequently asked questions about SAT-3247

What is SAT-3247 used for?

SAT-3247 is an investigational small molecule being developed for the treatment of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD), a genetic neuromuscular disease. It is not yet approved for any indication and remains in clinical development. Satellos Bioscience is evaluating it in pediatric ambulatory patients and in long-term follow-up studies.

What does SAT-3247 target?

SAT-3247 targets AAK1, also known as AP2-associated protein kinase 1. AAK1 is a kinase involved in cellular processes, and inhibiting it is the intended mechanism of action for this small molecule. The drug is designed to address the underlying muscle degeneration in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy through this target.

Who is developing SAT-3247?

SAT-3247 is being developed by Satellos Bioscience Inc., a biotechnology company. The company's ticker symbol is MSLE. Satellos is the sponsor of the clinical trials evaluating SAT-3247 in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.

What phase is SAT-3247 in?

SAT-3247 is in Phase 2 clinical development. It has not been approved by the FDA. The program includes a completed first-in-human Phase 1 study and ongoing Phase 2 trials in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. The FDA has granted Fast Track, Orphan Drug, and Rare Pediatric Disease designations for SAT-3247.

What clinical trials is SAT-3247 in?

SAT-3247 is being studied in three clinical trials. The Phase 2 trial NCT07287189 is evaluating SAT-3247 in pediatric ambulatory patients and is active but not recruiting. The Phase 2 long-term follow-up study NCT06867107 is enrolling by invitation. The completed first-in-human Phase 1 study is NCT06565208.

Is SAT-3247 FDA approved?

No, SAT-3247 is not FDA approved. It is an investigational drug still in clinical development. The FDA has granted it Fast Track, Orphan Drug, and Rare Pediatric Disease designations, which are intended to support and expedite the development and review of drugs for serious conditions.
