PTC Therapeutics, Inc. Research Report

On December 12, 2013, PTC Therapeutics, Inc. (PTC Therapeutics) announced the publication of data in PLOS ONE demonstrating that nonsense mutation Duchenne muscular dystrophy (nmDMD) patients treated with ataluren experienced an increase in dystrophin expression. According to the Company, patients with nmDMD typically experience decreased levels of dystrophin protein, which is critical to normal muscle function. Commenting on the release, Stuart Peltz, Ph.D., CEO of PTC Therapeutics, stated, "The results of this Phase 2a study support ataluren's activity as a dystrophin restoration therapy in nonsense mutation Duchenne muscular dystrophy patients mediated by ribosomal read-through of nonsense mutations. These positive findings were the basis for the progression into a Phase 2b study of ataluren in patients with nmDMD, which further demonstrated the potential of ataluren to slow the progression of nonsense mutation DMD as measured by the 6-Minute Walk Test and informed the design of our ongoing Phase 3 study to confirm the safety and efficacy of ataluren."
