Current report
We are a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company aiming to transform the lives of patients by establishing a new class of medicines which engage intracellular targets that have long been considered inaccessible. We begin 2025 with significant momentum, having already obtained authorization to move forward with multiple ascending dose ("MAD") studies for ENTR-601-44 in the EU, the UK and the U.S., and for ENTR-601-45 in the UK. We expect to have initiated three clinical trials by year end in our DMD franchise (ENTR-601-44, ENTR-601-45, ENTR-601-50), complementing the ongoing progress of our VX-670 partnership with Vertex Pharmaceuticals Incorporated (“Vertex”). This regulatory progress follows positive preliminary data in healthy volunteers from a Phase 1 clinical trial, ENTR-601-44-101, reported in 2024.

Lead Neuromuscular Programs
Previous report
We are initially focused on the development of EEV therapeutics for rare neuromuscular diseases, starting with Duchenne muscular dystrophy ("Duchenne" or "DMD"). DMD is caused by genetic mutations that prevent the creation of functional dystrophin, a protein required to maintain the structural integrity of muscle cells. In our neuromuscular disease programs, we link EEVs to small strands of nucleic acids called oligonucleotides, including phosphorodiamidate morpholino oligomers ("PMOs"). We are developing EEV-PMOs that promote the skipping of these DMD-associated mutations. Based on preclinical and clinical data observed to date, we believe that our EEV-PMO exon-skipping therapy will enable the production of functional dystrophin to slow, stop or even reverse disease progression. Our most advanced therapeutic candidate, ENTR-601-44, is being developed for patients with DMD that are exon 44 skipping amenable.
Previous report
On June 24, 2024, we announced positive preliminary data from our Phase 1 clinical trial of ENTR-601-44, our most advanced product candidate being developed for patients with DMD. The data announced was based upon data collected as of that date, was aggregated based upon the placebo and study drug groups and did not include urinary biomarkers for the 6 mg/kg cohort. The study has since been completed with no adverse findings noted in the urinary biomarkers for the 6 mg/kg cohort.
Previous report
The primary objective of the Phase 1 clinical trial was to evaluate the safety and tolerability of a single dose of ENTR-601-44. The trial also evaluated pharmacokinetics and target engagement, as measured by exon skipping in the skeletal muscle. These data were featured in a poster presentation at the 29th Annual Congress of the World Muscle Society, which took place in Prague, Czechia between October 8-12, 2024.
Previous report
The trial included a total of 32 healthy male volunteers across four cohorts, with each cohort consisting of six participants receiving ENTR-601-44 and two participants receiving a placebo control. The doses administered across the cohorts were 0.75 mg/kg, 1.5 mg/kg, 3 mg/kg and 6 mg/kg.
Previous report
There were no serious adverse events, no drug-related adverse events and no clinically significant changes or trends noted in vital signs, electrocardiograms, physical exams or laboratory assessments observed in the trial. The study demonstrated target engagement as measured by exon skipping on a ng/g of tissue adjusted basis supporting the importance of endosomal escape to therapeutic index optimization. Muscle concentration was detected in all six subjects in the 6 mg/kg dose cohort (mean of 53.8 ng/g, range 40 ng/g-73.5 ng/g) and mean target engagement as measured by exon skipping was 0.44% (range 0.3-0.65%). Exon skipping was statistically significant compared to the placebo control (p<0.005) in the 6 mg/kg dose cohort.

We have also entered into a Strategic Collaboration and License Agreement, which was amended in October 2023, (the "Vertex Agreement") with Vertex Pharmaceuticals Incorporated ("Vertex") pursuant to which we granted Vertex an exclusive worldwide license to research, develop, manufacture and commercialize VX-670, our intracellular EEV-based therapeutic candidate for the treatment of myotonic dystrophy type 1 ("DM1") that targets expanded CUG repeats in DM1 protein kinase ("DMPK") mRNA transcripts, as well as any additional EEV-based therapeutic candidates that may be identified by the Company for the potential treatment of DM1 in the course of the parties’ global research collaboration. The Vertex Agreement provides for a four-year global research collaboration under which Vertex will fund our continued preclinical development of VX-670, as well as the option to fund additional DM1-related research activities with a goal of identifying other EEV-based therapeutic product candidates for the potential treatment of DM1. Other than our efforts under this research collaboration, Vertex will be responsible for global development, manufacturing and commercialization of the licensed products.
Previous report
Under the terms of the Vertex Agreement, we initially received $250.0 million from the Vertex Agreement comprised of an upfront payment of $223.7 million and an equity investment of $26.3 million in our common stock at $16.26 per share. In the fourth quarter of 2023, we achieved a milestone pursuant to the Vertex Agreement related to preclinical IND-enabling Good Laboratory Practices ("GLP") toxicology studies of VX-670 that triggered a $17.5 million milestone payment, which we received in the fourth quarter of 2023. In the first quarter of 2024, we achieved a milestone related to the clinical advancement of VX-670, which triggered a $75.0 million payment. We received this payment in the second quarter of 2024.
Previous report
On May 6, 2024, Vertex announced that its IND for the Phase 1/2 clinical trial of VX-670 in people with DM1 has cleared, as have the CTAs in Canada, the United Kingdom and the European Union, and the Clinical Trials Notification ("CTN") in Australia. On November 4, 2024 Vertex announced completion of the single ascending dose (SAD) portion of the global Phase 1/2 clinical trial for VX-670 in people with DM1. In addition Vertex announced that they have initiated the MAD portion of the Phase 1/2 study, in which both the safety and efficacy of VX-670 will be evaluated.

For purposes of this Quarterly Report, we also qualify as a “smaller reporting company,” meaning that the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates was less than $700 million as of June 30, 2023 and our annual revenue was less than $100 million at the end of fiscal year 2022, the relevant periods for this determination. We may continue to be a smaller reporting company if either (i) the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is less than $250 million or (ii) our annual revenue was less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year and the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is less than $700 million. If we are a smaller reporting company at the time we cease to be an emerging growth company, we may continue to rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements that are available to smaller reporting companies. Specifically, as a smaller reporting company we may choose to present only the two most recent fiscal years of audited financial statements in our Annual Report and, similar to emerging growth companies, smaller reporting companies have reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation.

In June 2024, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with a limited number of investors relating to a registered direct offering (the “June 2024 Offering”) of 3,367,003 shares of our common stock at a purchase price of $14.85 per share and, in lieu of common stock to certain investors who so chose, pre-funded warrants (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) to purchase 3,367,003 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $14.8499 per Pre-Funded Warrant, which represents the price per share at which the shares of common stock were sold to the investors in the June 2024 Offering, minus $0.0001, which is the exercise price of each Pre-Funded Warrant. The June 2024 Offering was made pursuant to the shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-268099) previously filed with the SEC on November 1, 2022 and declared effective by the SEC on November 7, 2022.

We will receive nominal proceeds, if any, from the exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants.

We expect to incur significant expenses and operating losses for the foreseeable future as we advance the preclinical and, if successful, the clinical development of our programs. In addition, we expect to incur additional costs associated with operating as a public company. Our operating expenses and future funding requirements are expected to increase substantially as we continue to advance our portfolio of programs. Based on our current operating plans, we believe that our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of September 30, 2024 will be sufficient to fund our operations into 2027. We have based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could utilize our available capital resources sooner than we expect.
