Current report
Accelerated Approval planned for early in the third quarter of 2027. We began the U.S. site activation process in June 2025 and in September 2025, U.S. site activation began. In October 2025, U.S. patient enrollment and dosing were initiated. As of October 31, 2025, we have enrolled approximately half of the registrational expansion cohort. We continue to advance preparations for a Phase 3 clinical trial of z-basivarsen and plan to initiate the trial in the first quarter of 2026. We continue to pursue approval pathways for z-basivarsen outside of the U.S. We anticipate a potential launch of z-basivarsen in the first quarter of 2028, assuming we receive favorable data, priority review is granted, and FDA approval is received on the anticipated timeline.

Previous wording
Our product candidate DYNE-101 is being evaluated in the ACHIEVE trial, a global Phase 1/2 clinical trial consisting of a 24-week multiple ascending dose, or MAD, randomized, placebo-controlled period, a 24-week open-label extension, or OLE, a 96-week long-term extension, and a registrational expansion cohort. The primary endpoints of the MAD portion of the trial were safety and tolerability; with secondary endpoints of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, including change from baseline in splicing as measured by the composite alternative splicing index, or CASI-22, video hand opening time, or vHOT, as well as multiple other measures of muscle strength and function and patient-reported outcomes, including the Myotonic Dystrophy Health Index. In the MAD portion of the ACHIEVE trial, patients were randomized to receive DYNE-101 or placebo intravenously every four weeks or every eight weeks for 24 weeks, depending on cohort. Patient cohorts were dosed from 1.8 mg/kg to 6.8 mg/kg (approximate ASO dose). Following the MAD placebo-controlled period, patients transition to DYNE-101 treatment in the OLE portion of the trial and in the long-term extension. In January 2025, we announced the completion of the MAD portion of the trial.

Previous wording
We participated in a Type C meeting with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, in May 2025 and discussed the path to regulatory approval, including U.S. Accelerated Approval, for DYNE-101 in DM1. As a result of the meeting, we submitted a revised protocol for review by the FDA in June 2025 for the registrational expansion cohort of the ACHIEVE trial. The primary endpoint in the revised protocol for the registrational expansion cohort is change from baseline in middle finger myotonia as measured by vHOT at 6 months compared to placebo, which is intended to serve as an intermediate clinical endpoint for U.S. Accelerated Approval. Secondary endpoints include change from baseline in splicing as measured by CASI-22, muscle strength as assessed by Quantitative Muscle Testing, or QMT, performance on both the 10-Meter Walk/Run Test, or 10MWR, and 5 Times Sit to Stand Test, or 5xSTS, and the Myotonic Dystrophy Health Index, or MDHI, patient reported outcome measure, all at 6 months compared to placebo. We intend that the data from the registrational expansion cohort and the already enrolled patients in the MAD and ongoing long-term extension portions of the ACHIEVE trial will support a potential submission for U.S. Accelerated Approval.

Previous wording
The registrational expansion cohort is expected to enroll 60 patients at the 6.8 mg/kg once every eight weeks, or Q8W, dose cohort. The registrational expansion cohort has been initiated and full enrollment is planned for the fourth quarter of 2025, with data from this cohort planned for mid-2026 and potential submission for U.S. Accelerated Approval planned for late 2026. We continue to advance preparations for a Phase 3 clinical trial of DYNE-101 and plan to initiate the trial in the first quarter of 2026. We continue to pursue approval pathways for DYNE-101 outside of the U.S.

Additionally, in June 2025, we reported positive long-term efficacy and safety data from adult DM1 patients enrolled in the MAD portion of the ACHIEVE trial, including data from the 6.8 mg/kg Q8W cohort (n=6) at up to 12 months. At the 6.8 mg/kg Q8W dose, DYNE-101 demonstrated robust and sustained improvement in myotonia as measured by vHOT as well as sustained improvements across multiple other endpoints. We believe these data support improvement in vHOT as an early indicator of clinical benefit with DYNE-101 in DM1 and its potential as an intermediate clinical endpoint for U.S. Accelerated Approval. Treatment with DYNE-101 led to an improvement in vHOT of 3.3 seconds as compared to placebo at 6 months, and new data demonstrated that mean improvements at 6 months were sustained at 12 months for vHOT, 10MWR, 5xSTS, MDHI, and QMT, which demonstrated a 10% improvement in strength at 6 months, increasing to 20% at 12 months relative to baseline.

In October 2025, we reported additional analyses from the same 6.8 mg/kg Q8W cohort (n=6) data at 12 months. This included new data showing improvement from baseline in the 9-Hole Peg Test, or 9HPT, a measure of upper limb function focused on manual dexterity and coordination; QMT scores across both upper and lower extremities showing robust and sustained improvement; additional MDHI subscales of mobility, ability to do activities and upper extremity function showing robust and sustained improvement and the Patient Global Impression of Change, or PGI-C, and Clinician Global Impression of Change, or CGI-C, scales showing improvement in overall disease burden.
Previous wording
In June 2025, we also reported updated safety and tolerability data from the 56 patients enrolled through the 6.8 mg/kg Q8W cohort of the ACHIEVE trial. As of the data cutoff date of April 23, 2025, DYNE-101 demonstrated a favorable safety profile. Additionally, the majority of treatment-emergent adverse events were mild or moderate, and no related serious treatment-emergent adverse events were identified. In addition, no participants demonstrated persistent related anemia, and no clinically meaningful changes were observed in kidney or liver parameters. Also, no participants demonstrated kidney injury. Liver enzyme elevations were observed in a minority of participants, with no impact on liver function. Interpretation of the elevated liver enzyme levels was complicated by underlying liver disease and elevated baseline values up to approximately 2.5 times greater than the upper limit of normal.

Previous wording
In March 2025, we reported positive long-term safety and efficacy data from the MAD portion of the DELIVER trial. The efficacy assessment of the DELIVER trial reported in March 2025 was based on 12-month biomarker and functional data from six male patients enrolled in the 20 mg/kg (approximate PMO dose) cohort who were randomized to receive DYNE-251 or placebo once every four weeks, or Q4W, and 18-month functional data from six male patients in the 10 mg/kg (approximate PMO dose) cohort who were randomized to receive DYNE-251 or placebo Q4W. During the open label extension period, all participants in the 10 mg/kg cohort were dose escalated to 20 mg/kg Q4W regimen after month six. DYNE-251 demonstrated dose-dependent exon skipping and dystrophin expression and meaningful and sustained improvements from baseline in multiple functional endpoints in both cohorts. In the 20 mg/kg Q4W cohort, DYNE-251 demonstrated best-in-class levels of dystrophin expression, exon skipping and percent dystrophin.

Previous wording
Product candidates in later stages of clinical development generally have higher development costs than those in earlier stages of clinical development, primarily due to the increased size and duration of later-stage clinical trials. Accordingly, we expect that our research and development expenses will increase substantially as we advance DYNE-101 and DYNE-251 through clinical trials, in connection with our preclinical and clinical development activities of DYNE-302, our FSHD product candidate, and DYNE-401, our Pompe disease product candidate, and if, and as, we advance any other product candidates through preclinical studies and clinical trials. At this time, we cannot accurately estimate or know the nature, timing and costs of the efforts that will be necessary to complete the preclinical and clinical development of any product candidates we may develop. The successful development of any product candidate is highly uncertain. This is due to the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with product development, including the following:

Previous wording
We believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, which includes the initial term loan tranche of $100.0 million that we borrowed under our Loan Agreement with Hercules in June 2025, as well as the net proceeds from the July 2025 offering, will enable us to fund our operating expenses, debt service obligations and capital expenditure requirements into the third quarter of 2027. Based on our current plans and anticipated timelines and assuming positive data results from the registrational expansion cohorts of our ACHIEVE and DELIVER clinical trials and assuming no additional testing is required by the FDA, we estimate that these cash resources would be sufficient to enable us to obtain data from the registrational expansion cohorts of our ACHIEVE and DELIVER clinical trials, submit applications for marketing approval to the FDA for DYNE-251 in DMD and DYNE-101 in DM1 using the Accelerated Approval pathway and obtain a decision from the FDA with respect to the application for marketing approval for DYNE-251 and, if approved, commercially launch DYNE-251 in the United States. We have based these estimates on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could exhaust our available capital resources sooner than we expect.
