Sarepta Therapeutics to Present New Data from its Neuromuscular Portfolio at 2024 World Muscle Society Congress

Sarepta Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: SRPT), the leader in precision genetic medicine for rare diseases, will present at the 29th Annual Congress of the World Muscle Society 2024 Congress (WMS 2024), taking place Oct. 8-12, 2024, in Prague, Czechia.

Among the data to be presented are new safety and efficacy results from several studies in the delandistrogene moxeparvovec clinical development program, including data from Studies 9001-101, 9001-103 (ENDEAVOR) and 9001-301 (EMBARK).

“New data to be presented at WMS from clinical studies of delandistrogene moxeparvovec include the first look at skeletal muscle and cardiac MRI outcomes from the EMBARK study, a late-breaking analysis of safety data from across all delandistrogene moxeparvovec clinical studies, and five-year functional results from Study SRP-9001-101, the longest-term data to date for a gene therapy in Duchenne,” said Louise Rodino-Klapac, Ph.D., executive vice president, chief scientific officer and head of research and development, Sarepta Therapeutics. “The results add to the substantial and growing body of data for delandistrogene moxeparvovec.”
