CHARLESTOWN, Mass., Feb. 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Solid Biosciences Inc. (Nasdaq: SLDB), a life sciences company developing precision genetic medicines for neuromuscular and cardiac diseases, today announced positive initial data from the Phase 1/2 INSPIRE DUCHENNE trial evaluating SGT-003, a next-generation gene therapy product candidate intended for the treatment of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (Duchenne). Interim 90-day biopsy data reported in the first three participants showed an average microdystrophin expression of 110%, as measured by western blot, and improvements in multiple biomarkers that are indicators of muscle health and resilience.
“We are extremely pleased to present our initial clinical data from the INSPIRE DUCHENNE trial,” said Bo Cumbo, President and CEO, Solid Biosciences. “When starting this trial, we committed to comprehensively analyzing the effects of SGT-003. To that end, three different measurement methodologies showed what we believe to be potential best-in-class expression of our differentiated microdystrophin transgene. Significant reductions observed in all evaluated clinical biomarkers of muscle damage associated with Duchenne provide preliminary evidence of a beneficial effect in muscle integrity, including potential early signals of a positive cardiac benefit of SGT-003 in these young boys. In mid-2025, we plan to request a meeting with the FDA to discuss the potential for an accelerated approval regulatory pathway for SGT-003.”
SGT-003 was well-tolerated in the first six participants dosed as of the data cutoff date of February 11, 2025. As of the cutoff date, all six participants have reached at least 20 days post SGT-003 treatment. Adverse events (AEs) observed after SGT-003 treatment were typical of those observed in AAV gene therapy, including nausea, vomiting, fever and transient declines in platelets in some participants. No serious adverse events (SAEs) or suspected unexpected serious adverse reactions (SUSARs) were observed, and there was no evidence of thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA), atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS), or hemolysis. Importantly, none of the AEs that were observed required the use of additional immunomodulatory agents such as eculizumab, sirolimus or rituximab.
“The robust microdystrophin expression, improvements in markers of muscle integrity and health, and favorable safety profile observed in this cohort of participants as of the data cutoff date of February 11, 2025, are very promising,” said Craig McDonald, MD, Chair, Department of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation at UC Davis Health and investigator in the INSPIRE DUCHENNE trial. “In the landscape of genetic therapies for Duchenne, individual microdystrophin constructs likely have unique efficacy and safety profiles. I am very encouraged by the initial results reported today and look forward to seeing additional data and longer-term functional data that I believe will further inform our understanding of the role that the nNOS binding domain, which is unique to SGT-003, may play in improving clinical outcomes.”
“While loss of normal dystrophin is the defining molecular hallmark of Duchenne, there is growing understanding within the community that the success of microdystrophin gene therapy extends beyond expression, and will also depend on signals of restoration and preservation of muscle health, which were observed in these early clinical data,” said Gabriel Brooks, MD, Chief Medical Officer at Solid. “We are highly encouraged by the safety and tolerability profile observed, which has been consistent with AAV-based gene therapies. Additionally, though the trial was geared to follow cardiac measures for safety, we were gratified to observe early signs of cardiac benefit, including a decline in hs-troponin I levels in the participant with elevated levels at baseline, and improvements in cardiac function by echocardiography at day 180 in two participants with borderline low ejection fraction.”
INSPIRE DUCHENNE Trial Design
The INSPIRE DUCHENNE trial is a Phase 1/2 first in human, open-label, single-dose, multicenter trial designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of SGT-003 in pediatric patients with Duchenne at a dose of 1E14vg/kg. SGT-003 is administered as a one-time intravenous infusion. As of the data cutoff date of February 11, 2025, a total of six participants have been dosed in the INSPIRE DUCHENNE trial. Enrollment in the INSPIRE DUCHENNE trial is ongoing, with at least 10 total participants anticipated to be dosed by early in the second quarter of 2025 and approximately 20 total participants anticipated to be dosed by the fourth quarter of 2025.
INSPIRE DUCHENNE currently has a total of six active clinical sites in the United States and Canada and approved clinical trial applications (CTAs) in the United Kingdom and Italy. Solid expects to activate additional trial sites by the end of 2025.

About Duchenne
Duchenne is a genetic muscle-wasting disease predominantly affecting boys, with symptoms usually appearing between three and five years of age. Duchenne is a progressive, irreversible, and ultimately fatal disease that affects approximately one in every 3,500 to 5,000 live male births and has an estimated prevalence of 5,000 to 15,000 cases in the United States alone.
About SGT-003
SGT-003 is an investigational gene therapy containing a differentiated microdystrophin construct and a proprietary, next-generation capsid, AAV-SLB101, which was rationally designed to target integrin receptors, and has shown enhanced cardiac and skeletal muscle transduction with decreased liver targeting in nonclinical studies. SGT-003’s microdystrophin construct uniquely includes the R16/17 domains, which localize nNOS to the muscle. Nonclinical studies have shown that nNOS can improve blood flow to the muscle thereby reducing muscle breakdown from ischemia and muscle fatigue. Together, these design features suggest that SGT-003 could be a potential best-in-class investigational gene therapy for the treatment of Duchenne.
About INSPIRE DUCHENNE
INSPIRE DUCHENNE is a first-in-human, open-label, single-dose, multicenter Phase 1/2 clinical trial to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of SGT-003 in pediatric participants with a genetically confirmed Duchenne diagnosis with a documented dystrophin gene mutation. INSPIRE DUCHENNE is a multinational trial designed to enroll participants in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and Italy.

olid Biosciences Announces IND Clearance by FDA for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Gene Therapy Candidate SGT-003
– Planning to initiate Phase 1/2 trial in pediatric DMD Patients –
– First cohort to study patients 4 to < 6 years of age –
CHARLESTOWN, Mass., Nov. 14, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Solid Biosciences Inc. (Nasdaq: SLDB), a life sciences company developing precision genetic medicines for neuromuscular and cardiac diseases, today announced that it has received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clearance of an Investigational New Drug (IND) application for SGT-003, the company’s next-generation Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (Duchenne) gene therapy candidate.
“We are pleased to have the FDA’s clearance to proceed into the clinic with SGT-003, a new, innovative gene therapy candidate for Duchenne,” said Bo Cumbo, President and CEO at Solid Biosciences. “SGT-003 combines our differentiated microdystrophin transgene with a next generation muscle-tropic capsid and a transient transfection manufacturing process that may help address the unmet needs for the Duchenne community.” Jessie Hanrahan Ph.D. Chief Regulatory Officer added “We appreciate the FDA’s review of the IND and look forward to continuing to work in collaboration with the agency when we initiate dosing of DMD patients.”
SGT-003 uses a proprietary, rationally designed capsid (AAV-SLB101) to deliver a DNA sequence encoding a shortened form of the dystrophin protein (microdystrophin), containing the R16 and R17 nNos binding protein domains. Preclinical data suggests this may be important for both muscular function and durability of benefit in patients.
“IND clearance for SGT-003 is a critical step in bringing a potential next generation gene therapy to the clinic and making a meaningful impact on the lives of those living with Duchenne. We are working closely with clinical sites to dose the first participants, driven by the belief that better therapies are urgently required to treat this devastating disease,” said Gabriel Brooks, M.D., Chief Medical Officer at Solid Biosciences.
Based on the clearance, Solid plans to move expeditiously to submit the study for IRB approval at the clinical trial sites and expects to commence patient screening shortly thereafter. The planned Phase 1/2 trial, SGT-003-101, is a first in human, open-label, multicenter trial to determine the safety and tolerability of SGT-003 in pediatric patients with DMD at a dose of 1E14vg/kg. SGT-003 will be administered as a one-time intravenous infusion to patients in two cohorts with a minimum of three patients each, with the potential for cohort expansion. Cohort 1 will study patients aged 4 to < 6 years of age with DMD. Long-term safety and efficacy will be evaluated for a total of 5 years following treatment.
In an mdx mouse model of Duchenne, SGT-003 demonstrated rapid transduction, showing robust microdystrophin expression levels in the heart, quadriceps, and diaphragm by day 4 post-gene therapy treatment. SGT-003 in nonhuman primates was shown to increase biodistribution to cardiac and skeletal muscle including the diaphragm versus AAV9. These studies suggest increased transgene expression and an improved safety profile compared to first generation microdystrophin gene therapies.
