– Company to host a virtual educational event
for investors and research analysts on Monday, December 9 at 8:30
am Eastern (5:30 am Pacific) –
Stoke Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: STOK), a biotechnology company
dedicated to restoring protein expression by harnessing the body’s
potential with RNA medicine, today announced several presentations
at the American Epilepsy Society (AES) 2024 Annual Meeting, taking
place December 6 – 10, in Los Angeles, California. In addition, the
Company will host a virtual event with discussions led by leading
clinicians and patient advocates for investors and research
analysts on Monday, December 9 at 8:30 am Eastern (5:30 am
Pacific). The Company is advancing zorevunersen as potentially the
first disease-modifying medicine for the treatment of Dravet
syndrome.
“We look forward to presenting positive new data from patients
with Dravet syndrome who were already receiving the best available
anti-seizure medicines and then were treated with initial doses of
70mg followed by 45mg maintenance dosing of zorevunersen,” said
Barry Ticho, M.D., Ph.D., Chief Medical Officer of Stoke
Therapeutics. “These data underscore the potential for zorevunersen
as a disease-modifying medicine and support the proposed Phase 3
dosing regimen under discussion with global regulatory
agencies.”
New data will include the nine patients who received two or
three initial doses of 70mg of zorevunersen in a Phase 1/2 study
and then continued treatment in an open-label extension (OLE) study
where they received at least two doses of 45mg. In addition, data
from patients treated in the OLEs (n=73) were consistent with
earlier findings and showed durable reductions in seizures and
continuous improvements in multiple subdomains of the Vineland-3
through 24 months. Treatment was generally well tolerated.
Details of the Company’s presentations at AES are as

improvements are considered meaningful for clinicians and
caregivers.

Stoke will also host a virtual event led by leading clinicians
and patient advocates to discuss the effects of Dravet syndrome,
the current treatment landscape, including the latest data from
studies of zorevunersen, and the potential real-world impacts of a
disease-modifying medicine. The presentation will be conducted
virtually and include an opportunity for research analysts to ask
questions of the clinician presenters.

About Dravet Syndrome
Dravet syndrome is a severe and progressive genetic epilepsy
characterized by frequent, prolonged and refractory seizures,
beginning within the first year of life. Dravet syndrome is
difficult to treat and has a poor long-term prognosis.
Complications of the disease often contribute to a poor quality of
life for patients and their caregivers. The effects of the disease
go beyond seizures and often include intellectual disability,
developmental delays, movement and balance issues, language and
speech disturbances, growth defects, sleep abnormalities,
disruptions of the autonomic nervous system and mood disorders. The
disease is classified as a developmental and epileptic
encephalopathy due to the developmental delays and cognitive
impairment associated with the disease. Compared with the general
epilepsy population, people living with Dravet syndrome have a
higher risk of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy, or SUDEP. There
are no approved disease-modifying therapies for people living with
Dravet syndrome. One out of 16,000 babies are born with Dravet
syndrome, which is not concentrated in a particular geographic area
or ethnic group.
About Zorevunersen
Zorevunersen is an investigational new medicine for the
treatment of Dravet syndrome currently being evaluated in ongoing
clinical trials. Stoke believes that zorevunersen, a proprietary
antisense oligonucleotide (ASO), has the potential to be the first
disease-modifying therapy to address the genetic cause of Dravet
syndrome. Zorevunersen is designed to upregulate NaV1.1 protein
expression by leveraging the non-mutant (wild-type) copy of the
SCN1A gene to restore physiological NaV1.1 levels, thereby reducing
both occurrence of seizures and significant non-seizure
comorbidities. Zorevunersen has been granted orphan drug
designation by the FDA and the EMA, and rare pediatric disease
designation by the FDA as a potential new treatment for Dravet
syndrome.
About Stoke Therapeutics
Stoke Therapeutics (Nasdaq: STOK), is a biotechnology company
dedicated to restoring protein expression by harnessing the body’s
potential with RNA medicine. Using Stoke’s proprietary TANGO
(Targeted Augmentation of Nuclear Gene Output) approach, Stoke is
developing antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) to selectively restore
protein levels. Stoke’s first compound, zorevunersen (STK-001), is
in clinical testing for the treatment of Dravet syndrome, a severe
and progressive genetic epilepsy. Dravet syndrome is one of many
diseases caused by a haploinsufficiency, in which a loss of ~50% of
normal protein levels leads to disease. Stoke is pursuing the
development of STK-002 for the treatment of autosomal dominant
optic atrophy (ADOA), the most common inherited optic nerve
disorder. Stoke’s initial focus is haploinsufficiencies and
diseases of the central nervous system and the eye, although proof
of concept has been demonstrated in other organs, tissues, and
systems, supporting its belief in the broad potential for its
proprietary approach. Stoke is headquartered in Bedford,
Massachusetts with offices in Cambridge, Massachusetts. For more
