Satellos Bioscience

Satellos Biotech announced at the Cantor Healthcare conference that two phase‑II studies in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (BASECAMP and TRAILHEAD) are expected to produce important data in the coming months. Phase‑I data showed no concerning safety profile and early signs of efficacy, including a notable increase in handgrip strength in some adults. The company also plans a phase‑II study in FSHD before year‑end and sees regulatory pathways for accelerated approvals based on objective biomarkers. The stock reacted positively but remains dependent on the success of the studies and the quality of the data. » Altro su de.investing.com
