Welcome to our dedicated page for Solid Biosciences news (Ticker: SLDB), a resource for investors and traders seeking the latest updates and insights on Solid Biosciences stock.
Solid Biosciences Inc. (Nasdaq: SLDB) is a Cambridge, MA-based biotechnology company focused on developing treatments and cures for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), a genetic muscle-wasting disease. Solid Biosciences combines commercial acumen with top-tier science to advance promising therapies that address all aspects of DMD. The core of Solid's mission is to improve the daily lives of patients and target the roots of this debilitating condition.
The company's primary focus is on developing gene therapies and other treatments for neuromuscular and cardiac diseases. Their product pipeline includes:
- SGT-003: A next-generation gene therapy candidate for DMD, recently granted FDA clearance for an Investigational New Drug (IND) application. The therapy uses a proprietary capsid (AAV-SLB101) to deliver a microdystrophin transgene to promote muscle function and durability. The planned Phase 1/2 trial aims to evaluate the safety and tolerability of SGT-003 in pediatric patients.
- SGT-501: A treatment for catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT), a fatal childhood disease.
- AVB-401: For the treatment of BAG3-mediated dilated cardiomyopathy.
- AVB-202-TT: Aimed at treating Friedreich’s ataxia.
Solid Biosciences has made significant strides in obtaining regulatory milestones. Recently, SGT-003 was granted Orphan Drug Designation (ODD) and Rare Pediatric Disease Designation by the FDA, enhancing its potential marketability and support for clinical development.
The company has also been involved in strategic collaborations and financing activities. Notably, Solid entered a licensing agreement with Armatus Bio for the use of its AAV-SLB101 capsid, securing a non-exclusive worldwide license and upfront and milestone payments. In January 2024, they raised $108.9 million from a private placement to support ongoing pipeline development and business activities.
Financially, Solid Biosciences reported a net loss of $96.0 million for 2023 but expects its cash reserves and recent financing to fund strategic priorities into 2026. As of December 31, 2023, the company had $123.6 million in cash, cash equivalents, and available-for-sale securities.
