Lead candidate is SGT-001, a gene transfer that restores functional dystrophin protein expression in muscles by delivering a synthetic transgene that produces dystrophin-like protein.

SGT-001 has Rare Pediatric Disease and Orphan Drug designations in the U.S. A Phase 1/2 study, IGNITE DMD, was initiated last quarter. According to ClinicalTrials.gov, the estimated primary completion date is March 2020.
