EDG-5506 is an oral small molecule muscle stabilizer. EDG-5506 seeks to protect the muscle from injuries due to hypercontractal stress when dystrophin is absent or has reduced function. By helping to shield the muscle from damage and limit the muscle breakdown EDG-5506 may provide benefit to individuals living with Duchenne and Becker.
A Phase 2 study in Becker is actively recruiting.
A Phase 2 study in Duchenne is actively recruiting.
This program is sponsored by Edgewise Therapeutics.
