- Mean muscle content-adjusted dystrophin expression of 9.0% and unadjusted dystrophin of 5.5%
- Meaningful improvement in serum biomarkers for muscle health
- Skeletal muscle concentrations of ~41,000 ng/g with 61-day tissue half-life
- WVE-N531 was safe and well-tolerated with only mild treatment-related adverse events
The company expects feedback on a pathway to accelerated approval and complete 48-week data in Q1 2025. Wave Life Sciences is advancing a broader DMD pipeline targeting up to 40% of boys with DMD.
