Earnings Scheduled For May 6, 2025

PTC Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PTCT#NASDAQ">PTCT</a>) on Monday announced results from the Phase 2 PIVOT-HD study of PTC518 (votoplam) in Stage 2 and Stage 3 <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care" rel="noreferrer noopener">Huntington&#8217;s disease (HD) patients</a>.
Huntington&#8217;s disease is&nbsp;a progressive neurodegenerative disorder caused by mutation of the&nbsp;huntingtin&nbsp;(HTT) gene, leading to the breakdown of brain cells.&nbsp;It is characterized by uncontrolled movements (chorea), cognitive decline, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/05/n45190339/ptc518-pivot-hd-study-achieves-primary-endpoint" rel="noreferrer noopener">and psychiatric disturbances</a>.
The study met its primary endpoint of reduction in blood Huntingtin (HTT) protein levels (p&lt;0.0001) at Week 12 and favorable safety and tolerability. In addition, the 12-month data from the Stage 2 patients are consistent with the previously reported dose-dependent lowering of HTT protein and dose-dependent trends across clinical scales.

&#8220;We look forward to discussions on the next development and regulatory steps, including the potential for accelerated approval as we work to potentially bring the first disease-modifying therapy&#8230;,&#8221; said&nbsp;Matthew B. Klein, M.D., Chief Executive Officer, PTC Therapeutics.
Results from the full 12-month cohort demonstrate dose-dependent lowering in blood HTT levels, with 23% at the 5mg dose level for both Stage 2 and 3 patients and 39% and 36% at the 10mg dose level for Stage 2 and 3 patients, respectively. For Stage 2 patients, there were dose-dependent trends of benefit on clinical scales, including the Composite Unified Huntington&#8217;s Disease Rating Scale (cUHDRS) and Total Motor Score (TMS) subscale.
For Stage 3 patients, trends favored the 5mg dose group relative to placebo but not the 10mg dose group, suggesting that treatment effect may differ in Stage 3 patients relative to Stage 2 patients. It seems investors are reacting to this as the stock is trading almost 20% lower during the premarket session.
PTC518 showed a favorable safety and tolerability profile for all dose levels and disease stages with no treatment-related serious adverse events or neurofilament light chain protein&nbsp;(NfL) spikes.
In addition, 24-month treatment data from the patients on whom data were shared last year (N=21) demonstrate signals of dose-dependent trends on the cUHDRS, Total Function Capacity (TFC), and Symbol Digit Modalities Test (SDMT) subscales when compared to a propensity-matched natural history cohort from the ENROLL-HD Registry.
At Month 24, there was also a dose-dependent lowering of plasma NfL from a baseline of -8.9% (nominal p=0.12) for the 5mg dose level and -14% (nominal p=0.03) for the 10mg dose level.
In April, the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) issued a positive opinion on the marketing authorization application for Sephience (sepiapterin) for phenylketonuria (PKU). The opinion includes a broad label that includes <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/04/n45007096/ptc-therapeutics-receives-positive-chmp-opinion-for-sephience-sepiapterin-for-the-treatment-of-chi" rel="noreferrer noopener">all ages and disease severities</a>.
Price Action: PTCT stock fell 18.60% to $40.65&nbsp;on Monday.

"We are of course disappointed that after this prolonged period of review the European Commission has decided to adopt the CHMP negative opinion on Translarna," said&nbsp;Matthew B. Klein, PTC Therapeutics CEO in a statement on Friday.
"We look forward to working on a country-by-country basis to provide commercial drug where possible."
In May 2024, PTC Therapeutics announced that the European Commission (EC) has decided not to adopt the CHMP's negative opinion on the annual renewal of Translarna's conditional marketing authorization (ataluren) and has returned the opinion to the&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/05/38922172/european-commission-requests-reevaluation-of-opinion-on-ptc-therapeutics-duchenne-dystrophy-drug-" rel="noreferrer noopener">CHMP for re-evaluation</a>.&nbsp;
Translarna's net product revenues were&nbsp;$339.9 million&nbsp;for the full year 2024, compared to&nbsp;$355.8 million&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/02/n44024275/ptc-therapeutics-provides-corporate-update-and-reports-fourth-quarter-and-full-year-2024-financial" rel="noreferrer noopener">for the full year 2023</a>.
In 2024, PTC submitted four regulatory approval applications to the FDA, all of which have been accepted for review, including Translarna for nmDMD.

European Commission Declines To Renew Marketing Authorization Of Translarna Duchenne Muscular Disorder

On Thursday, PTC Therapeutics, Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PTCT#NASDAQ">PTCT</a>) shared new data from the Phase 3 APHENITY trial and subsequent open-label extension study at the 2025 American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care" rel="noreferrer noopener">Annual Clinical Genetics Meeting</a>.
These data provide further evidence of the potential benefits of sepiapterin treatment for the full spectrum of phenylketonuria (PKU) patients.

Phenylketonuria is an inherited disorder that increases the levels of a substance called <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/03/n44414358/ptc-therapeutics-presents-new-sepiapterin-data-from-ongoing-studies" rel="noreferrer noopener">phenylalanine in the blood</a>.
Untreated phenylketonuria can lead to brain damage, intellectual disabilities, behavioral symptoms or seizures.
&#8220;These new data provide further evidence of the meaningful benefit sepiapterin can provide for children and adults with PKU, including those with the most severe form of the disease,&#8221; said Matthew Klein, CEO of PTC Therapeutics. &#8220;Furthermore, the treatment benefit demonstrated in individuals with mutations not responsive to BH4 and consistent with classical disease phenotype support the potential to penetrate all key patient segments.&#8221;
Treatment includes a strict diet with limited protein.
Key data presented include:
<ul>
<li>Over 97% of subjects participating in the Phe tolerance protocol of the APHENITY open-label extension study demonstrate the ability to liberalize their diet while on sepiapterin treatment, with a mean increase in protein intake of 126%.</li>
<li>66% of subjects participating in the Phe tolerance sub study reached or exceeded the age-adjusted recommended daily allowance of protein intake for an individual without PKU, while maintaining control of blood Phe levels.</li>
<li>Genetic variant analysis of subjects participating in the APHENITY study demonstrates that over 70% had a Genotype-Phenotype Value (GPV) consistent with classical PKU.</li>
</ul>
PTC submitted FDA regulatory approval applications in 2024 for sepiapterin for children and adults with PKU, with a target regulatory <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/02/n44024275/ptc-therapeutics-provides-corporate-update-and-reports-fourth-quarter-and-full-year-2024-financial" rel="noreferrer noopener">action date of&nbsp;July 29, 2025</a>.
PTC also submitted several additional marketing authorization applications outside the U.S. for sepiapterin in 2024. The CHMP opinion on sepiapterin MAA is expected in the second quarter of 2025. A regulatory decision in Japan is expected in the fourth quarter of 2025.
Price Action: PTCT stock is down 0.18% at $56.88 on Thursday&#8217;s last check.
