Entrada Therapeutics Presents New Data Supporting its Expanding Duchenne Franchise at the 29th Annual Congress of the World Muscle Society

– Additional positive data from the Company’s completed Phase 1 clinical trial evaluating ENTR-601-44 reinforces its safety profile and supports the planned Q4 2024 global regulatory filings for a Phase 2 clinical trial –

– Preclinical data presented for the first time, showing exon skipping and dystrophin production for ENTR-601-45, supports the planned Q4 2024 regulatory filings for a global direct-to-patient Phase 2 clinical trial –

BOSTON, Oct. 09, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Entrada Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: TRDA) is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company aiming to transform the lives of patients by establishing a new class of medicines that engage intracellular targets long considered inaccessible. Today the Company announced the presentation of clinical and preclinical data in support of its expanding Duchenne clinical franchise at the 29th Annual Congress of the World Muscle Society in Prague, Czechia from October 8-12, 2024.

“We are excited to present these data which support the advancement of our Duchenne franchise. Adding to our previously reported positive data from our Phase 1 ENTR-601-44-101 trial, we are presenting further safety data demonstrating that there were no adverse findings or clinically relevant changes to any biomarkers of renal toxicity measured at the highest dose tested during the study. We are also pleased to present new data from preclinical studies of ENTR-601-45, showing compelling in vivo dystrophin production and functional improvement,” said Natarajan Sethuraman, PhD, President of R&D at Entrada Therapeutics.

Dr. Sethuraman continued, “We are on track to submit regulatory applications this quarter to initiate separate global Phase 2 clinical trials for ENTR-601-44 and ENTR-601-45 in patients with Duchenne who are exon 44 skipping and exon 45 skipping amenable, respectively. In addition, we plan to submit regulatory applications in 2025 to initiate a global Phase 2 clinical trial for our third Duchenne candidate, ENTR-601-50, in patients who are exon 50 skipping amenable.”

The posters will be presented during Poster Session 2 (DMD Treatments, 5:15-6:15 pm CET) and will be available on the Scientific Presentations page of the Company’s website.

Poster presented by Natarajan Sethuraman, PhD, President of R&D of Entrada Therapeutics: Therapeutic Potential of ENTR-601-44, an Endosomal Escape Vehicle (EEV™)–Oligonucleotide Conjugate for the Treatment of Exon 44 Skip-Amenable Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

Highlights of the poster presentation include:

These results demonstrate, for the first time, that the EEV platform can safely and effectively deliver oligonucleotide therapeutics to skeletal muscle with significant target engagement in human volunteers.

Poster presented by Sweta Girgenrath, PhD, Vice President, Head of Cardiovascular and Neuromuscular Therapeutic Areas of Entrada Therapeutics: Exon 45 Skipping and Dystrophin Production with ENTR-601-45 in Preclinical Models of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

Highlights of the poster presentation include data presented for the first time:

These results show the therapeutic potential of ENTR-601-45 and support further study in patients with DMD amenable to exon 45 skipping.
