About:

Dyne Therapeutics is developing therapeutics for patients living with muscle diseases with the aim of stopping or reversing disease progression. Many muscular diseases have a genetic underpinning: Dyne is using their proprietary FORCETM platform to develop targeted, modern oligonucleotide therapeutics to address these genetic defects and slow disease progression. Dyne’s therapeutics consist of an antibody to target the drug to the muscle, a payload that consists of either antisense oligonucleotides or short interfering RNAs to target the genetic basis of the disease, and linker to combine the two units. Dyne’s lead product candidate, DYNE-101 is currently anticipated for clinical trials for patients with Myotonic Dystrophy.
