About U.S. FDA Accelerated Approval
Accelerated Approval allows the FDA to approve drugs for serious conditions with an unmet medical need based on a surrogate or intermediate clinical endpoint,
which is reasonably likely to predict clinical benefit.
About Breakthrough Therapy Designation
The FDA grants Breakthrough Therapy Designation to expedite the development and review of drugs that are intended to treat a serious condition with preliminary
clinical evidence indicating that the drug may demonstrate substantial improvement over available therapy on one or more clinically significant endpoints. This designation offers benefits to DYNE-101 in the
DYNE-101 is an investigational therapeutic being evaluated in the Phase 1/2 global ACHIEVE clinical trial for people
living with DM1. DYNE-101 consists of an antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) conjugated to a fragment antibody (Fab) that binds to the transferrin receptor 1 (TfR1) to enable delivery to muscle and the central
nervous system. It is designed to promote functional improvement in individuals living with DM1 by reducing toxic nuclear DMPK RNA and correcting the spliceopathy underlying the disease. DYNE-101 has
been granted Orphan drug, Fast Track and Breakthrough Therapy designations by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and Orphan drug designation by the European Medicines Agency for the treatment of DM1.
About Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1 (DM1)
progressive, genetic disease that affects skeletal, cardiac and smooth muscle in addition to the central nervous system (CNS). It is a monogenic, autosomal dominant disease caused by an abnormal trinucleotide expansion in a region of the DMPK
gene. This expansion of CTG repeats causes toxic RNA to cluster in the nucleus, forming nuclear foci and altering the splicing of multiple proteins essential for normal cellular function. This altered splicing, or spliceopathy, results in a wide
range of symptoms. People living with DM1 typically experience myotonia and progressive weakness of major muscle groups, which can affect mobility, breathing, heart function, speech, digestion and vision. Cognitive dysfunction may manifest as
fatigue, excessive daytime sleepiness, an apathic temperament and brain fog. DM1 is estimated to affect more than 40,000 people in the United States and over 74,000 people in Europe, but there are currently no approved disease-modifying
