(Nasdaq: PEPG), a clinical-stage biotechnology company advancing the next generation of oligonucleotide therapies with the goal of transforming the treatment of severe neuromuscular and neurological diseases, today announced that the Company received a clinical hold notice from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regarding its Investigational New Drug (IND) application to initiate the CONNECT2-EDO51 clinical trial in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). The FDA indicated they will provide an official clinical hold letter to the Company within 30 days.<\/p>\n<p>\nCONNECT2 is PepGen\u2019s Phase 2 multinational, double-blind placebo-controlled, multiple ascending dose, 25-week clinical trial of PGN-EDO51 in patients with DMD. The study is open in the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cWe intend to work closely with the FDA to address their questions on our application to initiate CONNECT2 as expeditiously as possible,\u201d said Paul Streck, MD, MBA, Head of R&amp;D of PepGen. \u201cOur open-label CONNECT1-EDO51 multiple ascending dose study of PGN-EDO51 in boys and young men living with DMD continues as planned in Canada. We have completed enrollment of the 10 mg\/kg dose cohort; all four patients in this cohort have received at least one dose.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>About PGN-EDO51<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nPGN-EDO51, PepGen&#8217;s clinical candidate for the treatment of DMD, utilizes the Company&#8217;s proprietary Enhanced Delivery Oligonucleotide (EDO) technology to deliver a therapeutic phosphorodiamidate morpholino oligomer (PMO) that is designed to target the root cause of this devastating disease. PGN-EDO51 is designed to skip exon 51 of the dystrophin transcript, an established therapeutic target for approximately 13% of DMD patients, thereby aiming to restore the open reading frame and enabling the production of a truncated, yet functional dystrophin protein. The FDA has granted PGN-EDO51 both Orphan Drug and Rare Pediatric Disease Designations for the treatment of patients with DMD amenable to an exon-51 skipping approach.<\/p>\n<p><b>About PepGen<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nPepGen is a clinical-stage biotechnology company advancing the next-generation of oligonucleotide therapies with the goal of transforming the treatment of severe neuromuscular and neurological diseases. PepGen\u2019s Enhanced Delivery Oligonucleotide (EDO) platform is founded on over a decade of research and development and leverages cell-penetrating peptides to improve the uptake and activity of conjugated oligonucleotide therapeutics. Using these EDO peptides, we are generating a pipeline of oligonucleotide therapeutic candidates designed to target the root cause of serious diseases.<\/p>\n<p>\nFor more information, please visit <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.pepgen.com%2F&amp;esheet=54167118&amp;newsitemid=20241216162092&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=PepGen.com&amp;index=1&amp;md5=f87b6eac92780025f15eb7c18ed8dcf7\">PepGen.com<\/a>.
