Sarepta presented new preclinical data at the Oligonucleotide Therapeutics Society meeting showing its DM1 siRNA candidate SRP-1003 reduces pathogenic DMPK RNA in the nucleus, achieving up to approximately 80% knockdown in both nuclear and cytoplasmic compartments in a dose-dependent manner. Nuclear target engagement was confirmed by three independent methods (RNA FISH, compartment-fractionated ddPCR, and RNAscope), and MBNL-dependent mis-splicing correction provided functional evidence of nuclear activity. SRP-1003 showed sustained exposure across multiple muscle groups for up to 16 weeks after a single IV dose in preclinical models.
