Corporate presentation summary
30 Jun, 2026Platform overview
GeneTACⓇ small molecules modulate gene transcription to treat monogenic disorders, offering broad tissue distribution and overcoming limitations of traditional genomic medicines.
Proprietary platform supports multiple programs targeting severe genetic diseases, aiming for first- or best-in-class therapies.
Pipeline and clinical programs
Four GeneTACⓇ programs in development: Friedreich Ataxia (FA), Fuchs Endothelial Corneal Dystrophy (FECD), Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1 (DM1), and Huntington's Disease (HD).
Three programs (FA, FECD, DM1) are in clinical stages as of 2026, with HD in preclinical research.
Friedreich Ataxia (DT-216P2)
DT-216P2 normalizes FXN levels in FA patient cells without affecting healthy cells, addressing the genetic root cause.
Phase 1/2 RESTORE-FA study shows improvements in mFARS and Upright Stability Score, with significant biomarker increases at 1.0 mg/kg IV weekly.
Safety profile is favorable, with no serious adverse events and only mild to moderate ALT elevations.
Registrational development planned, with an update anticipated in Q4 2026.
