Benitec Biopharma Inc. has released a new presentation detailing the development of BB-301, a genetic medicine candidate for the treatment of Oculopharyngeal Muscular Dystrophy (OPMD)-related dysphagia. BB-301 employs a single-vector approach that combines gene silencing of the mutant PABPN1 gene with the delivery of a functional, healthy gene. The therapy is administered directly to the pharyngeal constrictor muscles through intramuscular injection, aiming to restore normal muscle function by blocking the production of the harmful protein while supplying a new, functional version. The presentation highlights BB-301's clinical progress, including a 100% responder rate in Cohort 1 and ongoing pivotal study planning. The candidate has been granted Fast Track and Orphan Drug Designations from regulatory agencies. You can access the full presentation through the link below.
