HC Wainwright & Co. Reiterates Buy on Avidity Biosciences, Maintains $72 Price Target

Avidity Biosciences, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RNA#NASDAQ">RNA</a>) released on Monday del-zota topline data from the Phase 1/2 EXPLORE44 trial in people living with Duchenne muscular dystrophy amenable to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">exon 44 skipping (DMD44)</a>.
Del-zota is designed to deliver phosphorodiamidate morpholino oligomers (PMOs) to skeletal and cardiac muscle tissue to specifically skip exon 44 of the dystrophin gene and enable the production of near-full-length dystrophin.

Analyst Highlights Key Strengths And Risks</a>
The data presented highlighted the consistent data across all parameters in both the 5 mg/kg and 10 mg/kg cohorts of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/03/n44352786/avidity-biosciences-announces-positive-topline-del-zota-data-demonstrating-consistent-statisticall" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">del-zota, including</a>:
<ul>
<li>Targeted delivery of PMOs resulting in tissue concentrations of approximately 200nM in skeletal muscle;</li>
<li>Statistically significant increases of approximately 40% in exon 44 skipping.</li>
<li>Statistically significant increase of approximately 25% of normal in dystrophin production and restored total dystrophin up to 58% of normal.</li>
<li>Reduction in creatine kinase levels to near normal with greater than 80% reductions compared to baseline:
<ul>
<li>Similarly, placebo participants demonstrated a reduction in creatine kinase levels to near normal upon treatment with del-zota.</li>
<li>Significant reductions in creatine kinase levels were sustained in the EXPLORE44-OLE trial with continued treatment up to one year.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Del-zota demonstrated favorable safety and tolerability at both doses, with most treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs) mild or moderate.</li>
</ul>
Based on the consistent data between the 5 mg/kg every six weeks and the 10mg/kg every eight weeks groups across all parameters, Avidity has selected the dose of 5 mg/kg every six weeks of del-zota for the Biologics License Application (BLA) submission and future clinical studies.
Participants receiving the 10 mg/kg dose in the EXPLORE44-OLE trial are being transitioned to 5 mg/kg every six weeks.&nbsp;
The company plans to present functional data in the fourth quarter of 2025 and is on track for a BLA submission by the end of 2025 for accelerated approval of 5 mg/kg of del-zota every six weeks in DMD44.
Following alignment with the FDA on the accelerated approval path late last year, including dose selection, Avidity&#8217;s commercial preparations for a potential U.S. launch of del-zota in DMD44 are well underway.
RNA Price Action: Avidity Biosciences stock is up 6.56% at $33.15 at publication Monday.

Citigroup Initiates Coverage On Avidity Biosciences with Buy Rating, Announces Price Target of $70

On Tuesday, BMO Capital Markets initiated coverage on Dyne Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DYN#NASDAQ">DYN</a>), focused on developing therapies for genetically <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech" rel="noreferrer noopener">driven neuromuscular diseases</a>.
The company&#8217;s FORCE platform is designed to overcome limitations in delivery to muscle tissue and the central nervous system (CNS).
Dyne has a broad pipeline for neuromuscular diseases, including clinical programs for myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) and Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and preclinical programs for facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) and Pompe disease.
In January, Dyne Therapeutics revealed new data from its ongoing Phase 1/2 ACHIEVE trial of DYNE-101, the company&#8217;s lead candidate, in patients with&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42923575/why-is-neuromuscular-focused-dyne-therapeutics-stock-trading-lower-on-friday" rel="noreferrer noopener">myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1)</a>.

Dyne plans to begin a global Registrational Expansion Cohort with the potential to support a submission for U.S. Accelerated Approval based on biomarker and functional data in H1 2026.
Dyne leverages TfR1 Fab-conjugation for drug delivery to muscles. TfR1 is highly expressed in muscle cells. BMO analyst Kostas Biliouris acknowledges potential safety risks associated with TfR1-targeting (anemia, hemorrhage, kidney injury) but notes that the safety in Dyne&#8217;s clinical data appears acceptable.
Analyst Biliouris says Dyne&#8217;s major catalyst and investor debate revolves around the FDA&#8217;s decision on the DM1 regulatory pathway, as this dictates whether Dyne could enter the DM1 market concurrently or behind its competitor Avidity Biosciences, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RNA#NASDAQ">RNA</a>)
BMO assumes a traditional approval pathway and sees the DM1 market as large enough to accommodate multiple players, and Dyne could differentiate via potential CNS benefits.
BMO has initiated with an Outperform rating and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/DYN/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">a price target of $50</a>.
The analyst models around $4.3 billion DYNE-101 peak-risk unadjusted WW sales in 2035.
Price Action: DYN stock is up 2.16% at $12.29 at the last check Wednesday.
