rna medicinemedical
RNA medicine uses copies of the cell’s instruction molecules to treat or prevent disease by telling cells what proteins to make or by blocking harmful messages. Think of it as sending a short recipe or a sticky note into a cell so it starts producing a missing ingredient or stops making a damaging one; for investors, this class of drugs matters because it can speed discovery, create platform businesses, and carry unique manufacturing and regulatory risks.
dravet syndromemedical
A rare, severe form of epilepsy that begins in infancy and causes frequent, prolonged seizures, developmental delays, and heightened risk of sudden unexplained death. It is caused by genetic changes that disrupt normal brain electrical activity—like a faulty circuit that repeatedly trips—so standard treatments often work poorly. Investors pay attention because the high unmet need, clear genetic target, and regulatory incentives can make therapies for this condition commercially and clinically significant, but trials are often long and costly.

About Stoke Therapeutics
Stoke Therapeutics (Nasdaq: STOK), is a biotechnology company dedicated to restoring protein expression by harnessing the body’s potential with RNA medicine. Using Stoke’s proprietary TANGO (Targeted Augmentation of Nuclear Gene Output) approach, Stoke is developing antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) to selectively restore naturally-occurring protein levels. Stoke’s first medicine in development, zorevunersen, has demonstrated the potential for disease modification in patients with Dravet syndrome and is currently being evaluated in a Phase 3 study. Stoke’s initial focus are diseases of the central nervous system and the eye that are caused by a loss of ~50% of normal protein levels (haploinsufficiency). Proof of concept has been demonstrated in other organs, tissues, and systems, supporting broad potential for Stoke’s proprietary approach. Stoke is headquartered in Bedford, Massachusetts.
