In November 2024, we announced the successful completion of a pre-BLA meeting with the FDA. In this meeting we aligned with the FDA on the details of a biologics license application, or BLA, that we expect to file around the end of 2024.
Current report
After the 48-week primary efficacy analysis period crossover patients (previously treated with placebo) were eligible to receive DTX401. As of the data cut-off, 12 crossover patients have reached Week 30 post-treatment and have had a substantial 61.6% mean reduction of daily cornstarch at this early timepoint, double the rate of decrease when compared to patients in the original DTX401 treatment arm (n=20) that showed a mean 41.3% reduction at the end of the 48-weeks. Patients from the original DTX401 treatment arm who had reached 78 weeks are continuing to reduce their daily cornstarch intake, while maintaining glycemic control. DTX401 has demonstrated a consistent and acceptable safety profile with no new safety concerns identified as of the data cut-off.

DTX301 for the treatment of OTC deficiency
Current report
In October 2024, we shared that the Phase 1/2/3 Cyprus2+study had demonstrated clinical activity as well as improvements in copper metabolism for patients treated in Stage 1. Multiple responders completely tapered off standard-of-care treatment with responses seen in all three dose cohorts. We expect to enroll an additional cohort in Stage 1 at a moderately increased dose and with an optimized immunomodulation regimen to enhance the efficiency and efficacy of the gene therapy, with the objective of having the majority of patients come off of standard-of-care treatment before selecting a dose for the randomized placebo-controlled stage of the study.
Current report
In Stage 1, 15 patients were enrolled into three sequential dosing cohorts and followed for at least 24 weeks. Six of the patients completely tapered off of standard-of-care treatment with chelators and/or zinc therapy, and a seventh patient had begun tapering as of the data cut-off date in August 2024. In patients who have tapered off standard-of-care, non-ceruloplasmin bound copper (NCC) has stabilized to normal, healthy levels. In some patients, there were increases in ceruloplasmin-copper activity consistent with improved ATP7b function. UX701 has been well tolerated, with no unexpected related treatment-emergent adverse events and no significant immunologic safety events as of the data cut-off.
Current report
We plan to submit a protocol amendment for the additional cohort at a moderately increased dose and with an optimized immunomodulation regimen to optimize delivery efficiency and efficacy for the AAV vector.

Crysvita for the treatment of XLH and TIO
Previous report
In June 2024, we announced positive 14-month results from the Phase 2 portion of the ongoing Phase 2/3 Orbit study demonstrating that, as of a May 24, 2024 data cut-off date, treatment with setrusumab continued to show statistically significant reductions in the incidence of fractures in patients with OI. Treatment with setrusumab also resulted in ongoing and meaningful improvements in lumbar spine bone mineral density, or BMD, at month 12 without evidence of plateau.
Previous report
The median annualized rate of radiologically confirmed fractures across all 24 patients in the two years prior to treatment was 0.72. Following a mean treatment duration period of 16 months, the median annualized fracture rate was reduced 67% to 0.00 (p=0.0014; n=24). The reduction in annualized fracture rates was associated with continued, clinically meaningful increases in BMD. Tests conducted at the 12-month timepoint demonstrated that treatment with setrusumab resulted in a mean increase in lumbar spine BMD from baseline of 22% (p<0.0001, n=19) across all age groups (five to < 26 years old), a further improvement from 14% observed at six months of treatment. This increase in BMD is reflected in the change from the mean baseline lumbar spine BMD Z-score of -1.73 to -0.49 at 12 months across all age groups, a substantial normalization in Z-score of +1.25 (p<0.0001, n=18). This is further improved from the mean six-month Z-score change of +0.85. The improvements in BMD and Z-scores were statistically significant and consistent across all OI sub-types studied.
Previous report
As of the data cut-off, there were no treatment-related serious adverse events observed in the study. Reported adverse events were generally consistent with those observed in the Asteroid study with infusion-related events and headache determined to be the most common adverse events related to the study drug. As of the data cut-off, there were no reported hypersensitivity reactions related to setrusumab.

The details of a BLA will be finalized with the FDA in a pre-BLA meeting that is expected in the second half of 2024, with the intent to file our application late this year or early next year.
Previous report
In February 2024, we announced that we have enrolled and dosed patients in the three dose escalating cohorts of the first, dose-finding, stage of the pivotal Cyprus2+ study of UX701 for the treatment of Wilson disease. During Stage 1, the safety and efficacy of UX701 is being evaluated across three, sequential dosing cohorts (Cohort 1: 5.0 x 10^12 GC/kg, Cohort 2: 1.0 x 10^13 GC/kg, and Cohort 3: 2.0 x 10^13 GC/kg) that will enable a dose to be selected for further evaluation in the second, randomized, placebo-controlled stage of this seamless pivotal study. Data from Stage 1 are expected in the second half of 2024 after the last patient has been on therapy for at least 6 months. This is expected to be followed by dose selection and initiation of Stage 2.
