Dyne Therapeutics Announces Upcoming Presentations at the 2025 MDA Clinical & Scientific Conference

- Data from DELIVER and ACHIEVE Clinicals Trial to be Presented -

- Presentation on ACHIEVE Trial in DM1 and Company Symposium to Feature Data on the Use of Splicing Correction as a Prognostic Biomarker of Functional Outcomes in DM1 -

- Presentations Add Insights into the FORCE™ Platform’s Ability to Deliver Targeted Therapeutics to Muscle and the CNS -

WALTHAM, Mass., Feb. 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dyne Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: DYN), a clinical-stage neuromuscular disease company focused on advancing life-transforming therapeutics for people living with genetically driven diseases, today announced that the company will be presenting two oral and five poster presentations at the 2025 Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) Clinical & Scientific Conference being held March 16-19, 2025, in Dallas, TX, and virtually. The oral presentations include data from the ongoing DELIVER clinical trial in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) as well as the recent positive results from the ongoing ACHIEVE clinical trial in myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) which will include a summary of data on the use of splicing correction as a prognostic biomarker of functional outcomes in DM1.

Oral Presentations:

Abstract Title: Safety and Efficacy from the Ongoing Phase 1/2 DELIVER Trial of DYNE-251 in Males with DMD Mutations Amenable to Exon 51 Skipping
Date and Time: Wednesday, March 19, at 8:30-8:45 a.m. CT
Presenter: Kevin Flanigan M.D., Director, Center for Gene Therapy, Abigail Wexner Research Institute of Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus, Ohio and a Principal Investigator for the DELIVER Trial

Abstract Title: Safety and Efficacy of DYNE-101 in Adults with DM1: Phase 1/2 ACHIEVE Trial Data
Date and Time: Wednesday, March 19, at 12:30-12:45 p.m. CT
Presenter: James Lilleker M.D., Neurologist, UK, and principal investigator in the ACHIEVE trial
