Edgewise Therapeutics ( (EWTX) ) has provided an announcement.

Edgewise Therapeutics announced positive topline results from their Phase 2 CANYON trial of sevasemten for treating individuals with Becker muscular dystrophy. The study, which is the largest of its kind, successfully met its primary endpoint by showing a significant reduction in creatine kinase levels, a biomarker of muscle damage. The key secondary endpoint of functional stabilization using the North Star Ambulatory Assessment also showed promising trends. Sevasemten was well-tolerated with no new safety concerns. The results support further development and suggest potential for the GRAND CANYON pivotal cohort to demonstrate significant outcomes, which could pave the way for future regulatory filings and the first approved treatment for Becker muscular dystrophy.
