Rhea-AI Summary
Design Therapeutics announced the dosing of its first Friedreich ataxia (FA) patient in the RESTORE-FA Phase 1/2 multiple-ascending dose trial of DT-216P2 in Australia. The trial aims to evaluate safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of the drug administered through IV and subcutaneous routes. Initial data from the ongoing Phase 1 single-ascending dose trial in healthy volunteers showed favorable safety and improved exposure compared to the first-generation formulation, with no injection site thrombophlebitis reported. However, the company's IND application to expand the trial to U.S. sites has been placed on clinical hold by the FDA due to nonclinical deficiencies. Design expects to report data from the MAD trial, including frataxin expression levels after 12 weeks of dosing, in 2026.
