Stoke Therapeutics to Present Data from the Company’s Dravet Syndrome Program at the American Epilepsy Society 2022 Annual Meeting
Stoke Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: STOK), a biotechnology company dedicated to addressing the underlying cause of severe diseases by upregulating protein expression with RNA-based medicines, today announced that seven abstracts related to the Company’s work in Dravet syndrome have been accepted for presentation at the American Epilepsy Society (AES) 2022 Annual Meeting, taking place December 2 – 6, in Nashville, Tennessee. The company is advancing STK-001 as potentially the first medicine to treat the underlying cause of Dravet syndrome.
“Topline results from a recent interim analysis showed marked reductions in seizure frequency, which support our work to develop STK-001 as potentially the first disease modifying medicine for Dravet syndrome,” said Barry Ticho, M.D., Ph.D., Chief Medical Officer of Stoke Therapeutics. “We look forward to sharing more details from this interim analysis, along with several other presentations with researchers, clinicians and the Dravet syndrome community at the upcoming AES meeting.”
