.After BioMarin carried out a springtime clean of its pipe in April, the business has actually made a decision that it likewise needs to have to unload a preclinical gene treatment for an ailment that results in heart muscles to thicken.The therapy, termed BMN 293, was actually being actually created for myosin-binding healthy protein C3 (MYBPC3) hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. The ailment could be managed utilizing beta blocker medications, yet BioMarin had actually laid out to deal with the associated cardiovascular disease making use of merely a solitary dose.The business shared ( PDF) preclinical records coming from BMN 293 at an R&D Day in September 2023, where it mentioned that the prospect had actually demonstrated a functional improvement in MYBPC3 in computer mice.
