Entrada Therapeutics' shares plummeted over 55% after disappointing early data for its Duchenne muscular dystrophy treatment, ENTR-601-44. While the Phase 1/2 study indicated positive safety and tolerability, the increase in dystrophin production was only 2.36%, far below the expected 10%. Investors were disheartened, especially compared to Avidity Biosciences' 25% increase with its therapy. The company may need to explore higher doses to remain competitive, as the FDA previously halted its human trials until February 2025. Duchenne muscular dystrophy affects around 41,000 individuals in the U.S. and Europe, primarily children and males.
