This model exemplifies a severe dystrophy that mirrors the disease progression observed in individuals with DMD. SAT-3247 is being developed as an innovative regenerative medicine strategy for treating DMD. These findings were presented at the Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy 30th Annual Conference over the past weekend.
"We are heartened by the initial data demonstrating that SAT-3247 treatment enhanced regeneration and muscle strength in a canine model of Duchenne," stated Frank Gleeson, Co-founder and CEO of Satellos Bioscience.
"As Satellos' inaugural results in a large animal study, we are pleased that these outcomes continue to substantiate the improvements in muscle repair and regeneration we've consistently observed in the mdx mouse model. This preliminary study further endorses the potential of SAT-3247 treatment to restore muscle repair and regeneration in individuals with Duchenne," added Frank Gleeson.
Post-treatment with SAT-3247, the animals displayed an increase in Regenerative Index, which measures the number of newly regenerated muscle fibers relative to damaged and dying muscle fibers.
"Increases in the Regenerative Index indicate that muscle repair and regeneration are taking place," commented Phil Lambert, Ph.D., Chief Scientific Officer of Satellos Bioscience. "Although preliminary, these results support our understanding of SAT-3247's unique mechanism of action. We are working diligently to progress this novel small molecule drug candidate into a first-in-human clinical trial this quarter."
SAT-3247 is designed as a once-daily oral small molecule drug that addresses the root cause of muscle loss in degenerative diseases, particularly Duchenne. SAT-3247 introduces a novel mechanism of action to restore impaired muscle regeneration resulting from the lack of functional dystrophin.
