Session 4C: Clinical Advances in Oligonucleotide-Based Therapies for Neuromuscular Diseases
Session Chair(s)
Saraswathy V. Nochur, PhD, MSc
Chief Regulatory Officer
Alnylam Pharmaceuticals, United States
Several oligonucleotide-based therapeutic candidates have been evaluated in the clinic for the treatment of neuromuscular diseases, including two for rare diseases. This session will explore the development of 3 different molecules, one about to enter the clinic, another getting ready for NDA, and a third that has been approved by FDA and EMA. While each of the disease states for these agents are distinct, there are similarities in the clinical development strategies and the challenges faced. Clinical data will be shared.
