Edgewise Therapeutics (NASDAQ: EWTX) announced positive topline results from its Phase 2 CANYON trial of sevasemten in Becker muscular dystrophy patients. The trial met its primary endpoint with a significant 28% reduction in creatine kinase levels, a biomarker of muscle damage. The key secondary endpoint showed stabilization in North Star Ambulatory Assessment (NSAA) scores, with a trend toward improvement compared to placebo.
The study, involving 40 adults and 29 adolescents, demonstrated sevasemten was well-tolerated with no new safety concerns. Additional functional measures showed positive trends, and 99% of eligible participants enrolled in the MESA open-label extension trial. The company plans to complete recruitment for the GRAND CANYON pivotal cohort by Q1 2025 and will engage with FDA and EMA regarding marketing authorization strategies.
