Celebrating its 50th anniversary, the company leverages innovative antibody technology to target difficult growth factors, notably myostatin, with significant success in spinal muscular atrophy (SMA).
Achieved the first positive pivotal trial for myostatin inhibition in SMA, with regulatory approvals and launches anticipated in the U.S. and Europe this year.
Plans to build a 50-country operating platform, expanding into Asia-Pacific and Latin America, with ongoing pipeline advancement.
Financial and operational updates
Secured a $550 million debt instrument, with $100 million to be drawn by quarter-end, supporting commercial readiness and pipeline development.
Ended the year with $368 million in cash, excluding the additional $100 million to be drawn.
Expects to monetize a rare pediatric disease priority review voucher upon approval, not yet factored into the financial runway.
Pipeline and clinical development
Advancing phase II OPAL study for SMA in infants/toddlers and a phase II FORGE study for FSHD, with the latter enrolling 60 patients in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial.
Developing a subcutaneous version of apitegromab, with phase I data showing comparable pharmacodynamics to IV formulation; regulatory path to be determined post-IV approval.
SRK-439, a high-affinity myostatin inhibitor, is in phase I with data expected later this year.
