1. RGNX presents positive interim data for RGX-202 in Phase I/II trial. 2. RGX-202 shows robust microdystrophin levels in different age cohorts. 3. Trial enrollment to complete by 2025, with BLA submission by mid-2026. 4. No serious adverse events reported, indicating favorable safety profile. 5. RGX-202 is the only gene therapy for Duchenne in late-stage development.
The positive interim data and upcoming BLA submission indicate strong market potential. Historically, similar announcements led to stock price increases for biotech firms during trials.
The article discusses critical advancements and potential milestones for RGX-202, crucial for RGNX’s future success.
The outcomes of RGX-202 in the upcoming pivotal trial will shape its market viability, impacting RGNX's valuation over time.
ROCKVILLE, Md., March 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- REGENXBIO Inc. (Nasdaq: RGNX) today reported new, positive interim data from two additional patients in the Phase I/II portion of the AFFINITY DUCHENNE® trial of RGX-202, a differentiated investigational gene therapy for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (Duchenne). Results were presented at the 2025 Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) Clinical & Scientific Conference.
"RGX-202 is the only next generation gene therapy for Duchenne in a pivotal phase trial. The new data from the age 1-3 cohort builds on the favorable safety and efficacy profile seen in ages 4 and older and reinforces the potential of RGX-202 to serve a wide age range of patients," said Steve Pakola, M.D., Chief Medical Officer of REGENXBIO. "The consistent, robust microdystrophin levels seen across the age range as well as the functional improvements previously reported support RGX-202's potential to alter the course of this devastating disease. We look forward to sharing additional Phase I/II functional data in the first half of 2025. We also continue to rapidly advance the pivotal trial towards completing enrollment this year and BLA submission mid-2026."
"Patients with Duchenne continue to be in need of treatment options that could meaningfully impact the course of disease," said Carolina Tesi-Rocha, M.D., Stanford Children's Hospital. "The microdystrophin expression and biomarker data presented represent key indicators of potential therapeutic effect. Combined with the safety and functional data to date, I am highly encouraged by the profile of RGX-202."
New biomarker data from two patients who received the pivotal dose of RGX-202 were presented at MDA and continue to support consistent, robust expression and transduction of RGX-202 microdystrophin across all ages.
In all patients, RGX-202 was appropriately localized to the sarcolemma, demonstrating the differentiated construct with the CT-Domain is appropriately targeting the muscle. RGX-202 microdystrophin expression results in ambulatory patients aged 8+ are the highest reported microdystrophin levels across approved or investigational gene therapies.
As of February 21, 2025, RGX-202 was well tolerated with no serious adverse events (SAEs) and no AEs of special interest (AESIs). Common drug-related AEs included nausea, vomiting and fatigue. All resolved and are typically anticipated with gene therapy administration. A thorough, proactive, short-course immune modulation regimen in combination with industry-leading product purity levels of more than 80% full capsids may contribute to the favorable safety profile seen in patients receiving RGX-202 to date.
RGX-202 is a potential best-in-class investigational gene therapy designed for improved function and outcomes in Duchenne. RGX-202 is the only gene therapy approved or in late-stage development for Duchenne with a differentiated microdystrophin construct that encodes key regions of naturally occurring dystrophin, including the C-Terminal (CT) domain...
