Neurogene Inventory Tanks After Opposed Occasion In Early-Stage Rett Syndrome Gene Remedy Trial – Neurogene (NASDAQ:NGNE)

On Monday, Neurogene Inc. NGNE launched interim medical knowledge within the first 4 contributors within the low-dose cohort of its ongoing Section 1/2 open-label trial of NGN-401 gene remedy for feminine pediatric sufferers with Rett syndrome, a uncommon genetic neurological and developmental dysfunction.

Low-dose (1E15 vg) and high-dose (3E15 vg) NGN-401 have been well-tolerated with a good security profile within the first seven pediatric contributors (N=5 low-dose; N=2 high-dose):

• No treatment-related critical adversarial occasions (SAEs).
• No indicators or signs indicative of MeCP2 overexpression toxicity.
• Most treatment-related adversarial occasions (AEs) are recognized potential dangers of adeno-associated virus (AAV), have been aware of steroids, and are resolved or are resolving.
• No intracerebroventricular (ICV)-related AEs.
• No seizures for any contributors following NGN-401 therapy.

The corporate mentioned it grew to become conscious of an rising treatment-related SAE in keeping with recognized dangers of AAV gene remedy within the third high-dose participant who was not too long ago dosed.

Low-dose interim efficacy knowledge (N=4) confirmed that each one contributors achieved a ranking of “a lot improved,” or a rating of two, on the clinician-rated Scientific International Impression Scale of Enchancment (CGI-I) from baseline; a rating of < 3 is taken into account clinically significant.

All contributors acquired expertise and/or developmental milestones in a number of core medical domains of Rett syndrome – hand perform/wonderful motor, language/communication and ambulation/gross motor.

Neurogene initiated an adolescent/grownup Cohort 3 to achieve preliminary knowledge on the potential of NGN-401 to deal with a broader affected person inhabitants. This cohort will enroll three contributors ages 16 and above on the excessive dose.

The corporate additionally mentioned it doesn’t count on to maneuver ahead with the NGN-101 CLN5 Batten illness gene remedy program.

Worth Motion: NGNE inventory is down 44% at $40.05 finally examine Tuesday.
