Posted: November 10, 2020 at 2:00 pm
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Nov. 09, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Voyager Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: VYGR) today reported its third quarter 2020 financial results, program progress and corporate updates.
During the third quarter, we took important steps to advance our lead programs for Parkinsons disease and Huntingtons disease with the presentation of positive long-term clinical results and the filing of an IND, respectively. Together with our partner, Neurocrine, we are currently focused on resuming enrollment in the RESTORE-1 clinical trial for Parkinsons disease pending the requested review and assessment of patient imaging data by the DSMB. For our Huntingtons disease program, the FDA has provided clarity regarding the additional information it is requesting pursuant to our IND filing. We plan to work with the FDA to respond to these requests to allow for an IND clearance and the start of VY-HTT01s clinical evaluation, said Andre Turenne, President and CEO of Voyager. We look forward to continuing our progress on these two important programs, along with our broadening AAV gene therapy portfolio to treat severe neurological diseases.
