Goldman Sachs has initiated protection on Avidity Biosciences Inc RNA based mostly on multi-blockbuster, first-to-market industrial alternatives for its investigational candidates.
Avidity Biosciences is a clinical-stage biotechnology firm that develops RNA therapeutics (antibody oligonucleotide conjugates) for muscular dystrophies.
The corporate’s lead asset, del-desiran (AOC 1001), is at present within the Part 3 HARBOR trial in sufferers with myotonic dystrophy sort 1 (DM1).
The corporate’s pipeline consists of Del-brax within the Part 1/2 Fortitude trial for facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) and del-zota in a Part 1/2 Explore44 trial in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) for sufferers amenable to exon 44 skipping.
Goldman Sachs has initiated with a Purchase ranking and a value goal of $59.
The analyst sees a blockbuster industrial alternative for del-brax in FSHD and a optimistic view of the scientific outlook and registrational path, with a 60% likelihood of success.

As well as, AOC 1044 5 mg/kg decreased creatine kinase ranges to close regular with better than 80% discount in comparison with baseline.
