- In exploratory analyses at Month 12, among individuals with LGMD2I/R9 (FKRP-related) with elevated HS troponin I at baseline, 100% treated with BBP-418 returned to the normal range by Month 12 versus 40% in the placebo arm (p=0.0248); HS troponin I, a blood marker of heart muscle injury, declined more with BBP-418 than placebo (LS mean difference -17.8 ng/L; 95% CI: -35.1 to -0.5; p=0.0443)
- 54% of BBP-418-treated individuals had stable or improved LVEF at Month 12 versus 25% in the placebo arm (p=0.0262)
- In data presented separately, BBP-418 treatment of LGMD2I/R9 in FORTIFY increased mean glycosylated αDG by Month 3 to the levels of asymptomatic heterozygous FKRP carriers, who do not exhibit disease; this result was sustained through Month 12
- Taken together, these findings support the potential of BBP-418 to act as a disease modifying therapy by addressing the condition at its source
- BBP-418 is under FDA Priority Review with a PDUFA target action date of November 27, 2026
