Announcement
Edgewise Therapeutics, Inc announced that the European Medicines Agency (EMA) has granted Orphan Drug Designations for sevasemten for the treatment of Becker muscular dystrophy (Becker) and for the treatment of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (Duchenne).
AI Summary
Edgewise Therapeutics announced that the European Medicines Agency (EMA) has granted Orphan Drug Designations for sevasemten for the treatment of Becker muscular dystrophy and Duchenne muscular dystrophy. This designation is a significant milestone, as it offers benefits like reduced regulatory fees and up to 10 years of market exclusivity in the European Union. Sevasemten is an orally administered small molecule designed to prevent contraction-induced muscle damage, a key factor in the progression of these debilitating conditions.
The EMA’s decision highlights a shared recognition of the urgent need for new therapeutic options for patients suffering from these rare muscle disorders. Edgewise is committed to advancing sevasemten through clinical development in both Becker and Duchenne, providing hope for improved management and quality of life for affected individuals and their caregivers.

- Indication:
- Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophy (DMD and BMD)
Announcement
Edgewise Therapeutics, Inc announced positive two-year topline results from the ARCH trial. ARCH is an open label, single-center study assessing safety, tolerability, impact on muscle damage biomarkers, pharmacokinetics (PK) and functional measures with sevasemten (EDG-5506) in adults with Becker.
AI Summary
Edgewise Therapeutics, Inc. announced positive two-year topline results from the ARCH trial, a study focusing on sevasemten (EDG-5506) for adults with Becker Muscular Dystrophy. The open-label, single-center trial assessed safety, tolerability, muscle damage biomarkers, pharmacokinetics, and functional measures. Researchers found that the North Star Ambulatory Assessment (NSAA) remained stable over the two-year period, contrasting with the decline usually seen in Becker natural history studies.
In addition to stable NSAA scores, significant decreases were seen in key biomarkers such as creatine kinase (CK) and fast skeletal muscle troponin I (TNNI2), indicating a reduction in muscle damage. Sevasemten was well-tolerated by all 12 participants, with no adverse events leading to dose adjustments or discontinuations. These promising results support further exploration of sevasemten as a treatment option for Becker Muscular Dystrophy.

- Indication:
- For Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM) and Other Serious Diseases of Cardiac Diastolic Dysfunction
Announcement
Edgewise Therapeutics, Inc announced positive top-line data of EDG-7500 from the Phase 2 CIRRUS-HCM four-week trial in participants with obstructive or nonobstructive HCM.
AI Summary
Edgewise Therapeutics, Inc. announced encouraging top-line results from its Phase 2 CIRRUS-HCM trial evaluating EDG-7500 over four weeks in participants with both obstructive and nonobstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). The study showed that EDG-7500, a novel oral cardiac sarcomere modulator, provided rapid and meaningful reductions in left ventricular outflow tract gradients in patients with obstructive HCM. At a 100 mg dosage, reductions reached 71% at rest, and similar improvements were seen post-Valsalva. The treatment also led to significant decreases in NT-proBNP, a key heart failure biomarker, and showed positive trends in diastolic function measures.
Additionally, participants experienced noticeable improvements in daily functioning and quality of life, as reflected by better Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire scores and NYHA class ratings. Importantly, EDG-7500 was well-tolerated with no significant reductions in left ventricular ejection fraction, supporting its potential as a promising therapeutic option for patients with HCM.

Announcement
Edgewise Therapeutics, Inc announced top-line data of EDG-7500 from the Phase 1 trial in healthy subjects and the single-dose arm of the Phase 2 CIRRUS-HCMtrial in patients with obstructive HCM.
AI Summary
Edgewise Therapeutics announced top-line data for its novel oral drug EDG-7500 from both a Phase 1 trial in healthy subjects and the single-dose arm of its Phase 2 CIRRUS-HCM trial in patients with obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). In the Phase 1 study, EDG-7500 was well tolerated at various dosages with no meaningful changes in left ventricle ejection fraction (LVEF). In the Phase 2 trial, patients receiving 100 or 200 mg doses experienced significant reductions in left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) gradients—a 67% drop at rest and 55% during provocation—while maintaining stable LVEF. These results suggest that EDG-7500 may improve heart relaxation and reduce obstruction in HCM without compromising heart function. Edgewise is now dosing patients in a 28-day trial, with further data expected in early 2025 to continue assessing the drug’s potential benefits.

This drug is under review by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Below is a timeline of key regulatory milestones for this therapy.
- Drug:
- sevasemten
- Announced Date:
- June 26, 2025
- Indication:
- For Becker muscular dystrophy
Announcement
Edgewise Therapeutics, Inc today unveiled positive results in its sevasemten program for Becker and Duchenne muscular dystrophies.
AI Summary
Edgewise Therapeutics announced positive outcomes from its sevasemten program for Becker and Duchenne muscular dystrophies. In the Becker extension trial (MESA), patients showed sustained disease stabilization over three years. Data from MESA confirmed steady improvements and maintenance of North Star Ambulatory Assessment (NSAA) scores, echoing findings from previous trials. These results may help in slowing disease progression and improving motor function in Becker muscular dystrophy.
In addition, Phase 2 observations in Duchenne muscular dystrophy provided valuable insights into dosing strategies. The LYNX and FOX studies helped define a 10 mg dose that was well tolerated and showed potential in reducing functional decline.

Announcement
Edgewise Therapeutics, Inc announced positive topline results from the Phase 2 CANYON trial of sevasemten in individuals with Becker muscular dystrophy.
AI Summary
Edgewise Therapeutics announced positive topline results from its Phase 2 CANYON trial evaluating sevasemten in individuals with Becker muscular dystrophy. In this largest interventional Becker study to date, sevasemten met the primary endpoint by reducing creatine kinase levels, a key biomarker for skeletal muscle damage. Additionally, patients treated with sevasemten showed stabilization of the North Star Ambulatory Assessment (NSAA), with trends toward improved motor function compared to placebo. The drug, a first-in-class fast skeletal myosin inhibitor, aims to protect muscle from contraction-induced damage. Sevasemten was well-tolerated, and no new safety concerns were observed during the trial, even in patients with advanced disease. Edgewise plans to further discuss these encouraging results during an upcoming virtual investor event, as the company continues to engage with the FDA and European Medicines Agency on future regulatory strategies.
