Bull points
- I'm thrilled to share that the pivotal phase three portion of the Affinity Duchenne trial of RGX202 met its primary endpoint with high statistical significance. Patients' functional outcomes exceeded expected disease trajectory across age groups and RGX202 was well tolerated.
- The pivotal trial met the primary endpoint with high statistical significance, with 93% or 28 of 30 patients exceeding this threshold. Notably, 80% of patients exceeded 40% microdystrophin expression. We saw a 71.1% average microdystrophin expression across all patients and a 41.6% expression in patients aged eight and older.
- We believe this robust expression supports the potential for improved outcomes. And as you'll see, this is supported by the strong correlation to function.
Bear points
- we definitely need to concentrate in function. And what we're seeing on men needs two things. One, we're not treating patients early enough. And I think this is something that you guys are addressing, because we're gonna move into newborn screening. And if we're gonna end up in that area, we're gonna need therapies that are gonna address the situation as early as we can.
