- Data support the ongoing development of four investigational therapies for DMD amenable to skipping of exons 53, 45, 44 or 55, all of which are advancing into IND-enabling studies -
- All development candidates leverage the same FORCE™ platform as zeleciment rostudirsen (z-rostudirsen, also known as DYNE-251), which is under FDA review for exon 51 DMD -
WALTHAM, Mass., Sept. 03, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dyne Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: DYN), a clinical-stage company focused on delivering functional improvement for people living with genetically driven neuromuscular diseases, today announced that it will present preclinical data supporting the ongoing development of DYNE-253, DYNE-245, DYNE-244 and DYNE-255 for the potential treatment of DMD amenable to skipping of exons 53, 45, 44 and 55, respectively, at the 27th Annual Neuromuscular Study Group (NMSG) Scientific Meeting being held September 25-27, 2026, in San Antonio, TX.
“As we approach the potential launch of z-rostudirsen for individuals living with DMD amenable to exon 51 skipping, we also aim to build a leading franchise across additional mutations,” said Ranjan Batra, PhD, chief scientific officer of Dyne. “These preclinical results further strengthen our confidence in the ability of our FORCE™ platform to deliver therapeutic payloads to tissues relevant to DMD and drive meaningful exon skipping and dystrophin production, supporting advancement of these programs into IND-enabling studies.”
Data presented will include:
- In vitro exon skipping results for DYNE-253, DYNE-245, DYNE-244 and DYNE-255.
- In vivo pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic results for DYNE-253, including exon skipping and dystrophin levels in a Del52 mouse model of DMD.
