Satellos Biosciences (TSX:MSCL) has recently obtained approval to initiate a Phase 1 clinical trial in Australia for a new drug called SAT-3247. This medication aims to target regenerating skeletal muscle in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). The trial will involve an initial assessment of SAT-3247 in 72 healthy volunteers followed by 10 DMD patients. The company disclosed that the trial is anticipated to commence in Q3.
DMD is a debilitating form of muscular dystrophy that predominantly affects boys, with muscle weakness typically appearing around the age of 4. Satellos Biosciences is enthusiastic about advancing SAT-3247 into first-in-human studies as it represents a significant milestone in developing a potential disease-modifying oral pill. The CEO of Satellos Biosciences, Frank Gleeson, expressed optimism about the drug’s ability to restore muscle regeneration and repair processes that are impaired in individuals with Duchenne.
SAT-3247 is a proprietary oral small-molecule drug developed by Satellos Biosciences to regenerate skeletal muscle lost in DMD and other degenerative or injury-related conditions. The company is dedicated to muscle regeneration drug discovery and development to address degenerative muscle disorders.
