Sarepta reports positive 3-year data from the EMBARK trial:  4-7 year olds treated with their microdystrophin gene therapy, Elevidys, have significantly slower disease progression

Sarepta Therapeutics announced positive topline data from the EMBARK trial, showing that Elevidys, 3 years post treatment, significantly slows disease progression on functional measures  in ambulatory individuals who were 4-7 years old when treated.  These 52 treated individuals, who participated in Part 1 of EMBARK and now are at a mean age of 9 years old, showed continuing benefits with a mean North Star Ambulatory Assessment (NSAA) above baseline, while an external control group continued to show the expected age-related decline below their baseline score.  The treated individuals also showed significant slowing of progression on Time To Rise (TTR) and 10-Meter Walk Run (10MWR) compared to external controls.
