Decibel Therapeutics has built a proprietary platform that integrates single-cell genomics, bioinformatic analyses, precision gene therapy technologies, and deep expertise in inner ear biology. This platform is being leveraged to advance a pipeline of breakthrough therapies targeted to specific indications and patient populations. Among its leading projects is DB-OTO, a gene therapy candidate aimed at treating congenital, monogenic hearing loss caused by otoferlin deficiency. The company is currently conducting the CHORD clinical trial with six active sites in prestigious institutions across three countries.
In addition to gene therapies for congenital hearing loss, Decibel is developing treatments for acquired hearing and balance disorders. The company's vision is to make the privileges of hearing and balance available to all.
Recent corporate developments include a definitive agreement for acquisition by Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, reflecting the potential of Decibel's gene therapy programs. Financial results for the second quarter of 2023 were strong, and the company continues to focus on its key milestones, including advancing its gene therapy pipeline and achieving clinical trial progress.
