Company Description
Decibel Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: DBTX) is a pioneering biotechnology company headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts. Founded in 2015 by Third Rock Ventures and SR One, the company is focused on discovering and developing innovative treatments to protect, repair, and restore hearing. Hearing loss affects approximately 50 million people in the United States and 360 million worldwide, making it the most prevalent form of sensory impairment. Decibel Therapeutics aims to address this significant unmet medical need by combining cutting-edge hearing science with leading diagnostic tools, biological insights, and therapeutic delivery techniques.
Decibel Therapeutics has built a proprietary platform that integrates single-cell genomics, bioinformatic analyses, precision gene therapy technologies, and deep expertise in inner ear biology. This platform is being leveraged to advance a pipeline of breakthrough therapies targeted to specific indications and patient populations. Among its leading projects is DB-OTO, a gene therapy candidate aimed at treating congenital, monogenic hearing loss caused by otoferlin deficiency. The company is currently conducting the CHORD clinical trial with six active sites in prestigious institutions across three countries.
In addition to gene therapies for congenital hearing loss, Decibel is developing treatments for acquired hearing and balance disorders. The company's vision is to make the privileges of hearing and balance available to all.
Recent corporate developments include a definitive agreement for acquisition by Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, reflecting the potential of Decibel's gene therapy programs. Financial results for the second quarter of 2023 were strong, and the company continues to focus on its key milestones, including advancing its gene therapy pipeline and achieving clinical trial progress.
