Dyne Therapeutics Presents Data at World Muscle Society Congress Highlighting Promise of FORCE™ Platform to Address Underlying Causes of Neuromuscular Diseases


October 09, 2024

- Presentations Will Feature Recent Clinical Data From DYNE-251 and DYNE-101 as Well as Preclinical Data in FSHD and Pompe Disease -

WALTHAM, Mass., Oct. 09, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dyne Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: DYN), a clinical-stage muscle disease company focused on advancing innovative life-transforming therapeutics for people living with genetically driven diseases, today announced that previously reported clinical and preclinical data across its pipeline will be featured in poster presentations at the 29th Annual Congress of the World Muscle Society, held virtually and in Prague, Czech Republic, October 8-12, 2024. The presentations highlight the promise of the FORCE™ platform to deliver targeted therapeutics to address neuromuscular diseases.

“The full breadth and versatility of our FORCE platform is on display at this year’s World Muscle Society Congress, with presentations covering both of our co-lead clinical programs in DM1 and DMD, along with preclinical work in FSHD and Pompe disease,” said John Cox, president and chief executive officer of Dyne. “We’ve observed targeted delivery with the FORCE platform showing broad distribution to key tissues like skeletal, cardiac, smooth muscle and the CNS – which has the potential to transform the lives of individuals living with these diseases.”

About the FORCE™ Platform

The proprietary FORCE™ platform drives Dyne’s efforts to develop targeted, modern oligonucleotide innovative therapeutics with the potential to be life-transforming for patients with serious muscle diseases. Dyne designed the FORCE platform using its deep knowledge of muscle biology and oligonucleotide therapeutics to overcome the current limitations in delivery to muscle tissue with the goal of stopping or reversing disease progression. The FORCE platform leverages the importance of transferrin receptor 1 (TfR1) in muscle biology as the foundation for its novel approach. TfR1, which is highly expressed on the surface of muscle cells, is required for iron transport into muscle cells. Dyne links therapeutic payloads to its TfR1-binding fragment antibody (Fab) to develop targeted therapeutics for muscle diseases.
