Solid Biosciences (SLDB), a life sciences company focused on developing precision genetic medicines for neuromuscular and cardiac diseases, has announced the granting of 31,101 restricted stock units (RSUs) to two new employees. The RSUs are structured to vest in four equal annual installments, with complete vesting occurring on the fourth anniversary of the grant date. The grants were issued under the Company's 2024 Inducement Stock Incentive Plan and comply with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c)(4), serving as an inducement for employment acceptance.
Solid Biosciences (SLDB) has received Fast Track designation from the FDA for SGT-212, its dual-route gene therapy candidate for Friedreich's ataxia (FA). SGT-212 is designed to deliver the full-length frataxin gene through both intradentate nucleus and intravenous infusions to address neurologic, cardiac, and systemic manifestations of FA.
The Fast Track status, granted to products treating serious conditions with unmet medical needs, will facilitate more frequent FDA interactions and potential priority review eligibility. The company received FDA IND clearance on January 7th, 2025, and plans to initiate a Phase 1b trial in the second half of 2025. This first-in-human, open-label, multicenter study will evaluate safety and tolerability in both ambulatory and non-ambulatory FA patients, with a five-year follow-up period.
Solid Biosciences (NASDAQ: SLDB) provided updates on its neuromuscular and cardiac development pipeline. The company has dosed four patients in the INSPIRE DUCHENNE trial for SGT-003, with initial three-patient data expected in Q1 2025. The FDA cleared an IND for SGT-212, a dual-route administration gene therapy for Friedreich's ataxia, with first-in-human trials planned for 2H 2025.
The company plans to submit an IND for SGT-501 to treat CPVT in 1H 2025. Additionally, Solid is advancing SGT-601 for TNNT2 Thin Filament Cardiomyopathy with IND submission planned for 2H 2026. The company has also collaborated with Mayo Clinic for developing therapies for cardiac conditions.
Solid enters 2025 with approximately $148.9 million in cash and investments, expected to fund key priorities into 2026.
Solid Biosciences (SLDB), a precision genetic medicines developer focusing on neuromuscular and cardiac diseases, has announced its participation in the 43rd Annual J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference. Bo Cumbo, President and CEO, will deliver a presentation on Wednesday, January 15, 2025, at 3:45 p.m. PT (6:45 p.m. ET).
The presentation will be accessible through a live webcast on the Company's website's Investors section under the Events page. A replay of the webcast will remain available for 30 days following the event. Institutional investors seeking meetings with management during the conference are advised to contact their J.P. Morgan representatives.
Solid Biosciences (NASDAQ: SLDB) has received FDA IND clearance for SGT-212, a pioneering dual-route gene therapy designed to treat Friedreich's ataxia (FA). This therapy is unique as it's the only candidate delivering full-length frataxin protein through both systemic intravenous infusion and direct intradentate nuclei infusion into the cerebellum.
The therapy aims to address both neurologic and cardiac manifestations of FA, targeting the insufficient levels of frataxin protein that cause this degenerative disease. Preclinical studies have shown safe transduction and frataxin expression in target tissues, demonstrating significant restoration of neurologic function and reversal of cardiac implications in mice.
The company plans to initiate a Phase 1b clinical trial in the second half of 2025. This first-in-human, open-label, dose-finding study will enroll both non-ambulatory and ambulatory adult FA patients across up to three cohorts, with participants being followed for five years after receiving SGT-212.
Solid Biosciences (Nasdaq: SLDB), a company focused on developing precision genetic medicines for neuromuscular and cardiac diseases, announced on January 6, 2025, the grant of 11,847 restricted stock units (RSUs) to a newly hired employee.
The RSUs will vest in four equal installments on each one-year anniversary of the grant date, provided the employee continues to serve with the company through each vesting date. This grant was made under the company's 2024 Inducement Stock Incentive Plan and complies with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c)(4).
Solid Biosciences (Nasdaq: SLDB), a life sciences company focused on precision genetic medicines for neuromuscular and cardiac diseases, has been added to the Nasdaq Biotechnology Index® (NBI) effective December 23, 2024.

Solid Biosciences (SLDB) has announced a strategic collaboration with Mayo Clinic to advance AAV gene therapy development for cardiac diseases. The partnership grants Solid exclusive worldwide licenses to Mayo Clinic's Suppression-Replacement gene therapy platform and six cardiac gene therapy programs developed by their Windland Smith Rice Sudden Death Genomics Lab.
Under the agreement, Mayo Clinic will conduct research and development up to IND-enabling studies, after which Solid will have options for continued development and commercialization. The collaboration will utilize Solid's next-generation AAV capsids, including AAV-SLB101, and advanced manufacturing capabilities to target genetic heart diseases. The company expects to submit an IND for CPVT in the first half of 2025.
