Dyne Therapeutics Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2024 Financial Results and Recent Business Highlights

- Received FDA Fast Track Designation for DYNE-101 in DM1 -

- Full enrollment of Registrational Expansion Cohort of ACHIEVE Trial of DYNE-101 in DM1 Planned for Mid-2025 to Support Submission for U.S. Accelerated Approval -

- Full Enrollment of Registrational Expansion Cohort of DELIVER Trial of DYNE-251 in DMD Planned for Q1 2025 to Support Submission for U.S. Accelerated Approval -

WALTHAM, Mass., February 27, 2025 – Dyne Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: DYN), a clinical-stage neuromuscular disease company focused on advancing life-transforming therapeutics for people living with genetically driven diseases, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2024 and recent business highlights.

“Our most recent clinical data for DYNE-101 from the ACHIEVE trial in DM1 patients showed substantial functional benefit, including the reversal of disease progression and improvement across a range of clinical measures, as well as a favorable safety profile. We believe that the compelling benefits seen with DYNE-101 result from addressing the underlying biology of this devastating neuromuscular disease through meaningful splicing correction,” said John Cox, president and chief executive officer of Dyne. “With these results in hand, we are moving rapidly to initiate a Registrational Expansion Cohort to support a potential submission for U.S. Accelerated Approval. Furthermore, in DMD, we expect data from the ongoing DELIVER trial of DYNE-251 in late 2025 to support a potential submission for U.S. Accelerated Approval in early 2026, giving us the transformational opportunity to launch two important therapies in 2027.”

The Company expects that its cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of December 31, 2024, together with the net proceeds from the Q1 2025 at-the-market offering, will be sufficient to fund its operations at least into the second half of 2026.
