ATYR1940-C-003 |
Early Onset FSHD Patient age 16 to 25 Symptoms before 10 |

Open-Label, Intra-Patient Dose Escalation Study |
Weekly and twice weekly starting at 0.3 mg/kg with potential dose escalation up to 3.0 mg/kg |
12 weeks |
|
ATYR1940-C-004 |
LGMD2B and FSHD Adult Patients |
1b/2 |
Open-Label, Intra-Patient Dose Escalation Study |
Weekly doses starting at 0.3 mg/kg with potential dose escalation up 1.0 mg/kg and 3.0 mg/kg |
12 weeks |
The trials are designed to assess the safety, tolerability, immunogenicity and activity of Resolaris in patients with the muscular dystrophies of FSHD or limb-girdle muscular dystrophy 2B (LGMD2B or dysferlinopathies). Both trials are currently closed to new patients.
aTyr Pharma announced results from its first Phase 1b/2 trial in adult patients with FSHD. To review the press release, please visit the Press section at www.atyrpharma.com.
What is Resolaris (ATYR1940)?
aTyr Pharma is developing Resolaris as a potential protein therapeutic for patients with severe, rare mypotathies with an immune component, for which there are limited or no approved treatments. Resolaris is derived from a naturally occurring protein released in vitro by human skeletal muscle cells.
The Company believes Resolaris could potentially play a role in promoting skeletal muscle health by acting as an immunomodulator in skeletal muscle. Inflammation is believed to play a role in the disease process in FSHD and LGMD2B.
