Capricor Therapeutics, Inc. CAPR is trading higher Tuesday after the company announced three-year results from the ongoing HOPE-2 open-label extension study with CAP-1002.
HOPE-2, a Phase 2 clinical study, assessed Capricor’s CAP-1002 therapy in boys and young men with DMD. According to results, patients treated with CAP-1002 continued to show benefits after 3 years of treatment when compared to an external comparator dataset of similar DMD patients.
“I am extremely encouraged by these positive results from our HOPE-2 OLE study which continue to support the long-term impact of CAP-1002 for the treatment of DMD,” said Linda Marbán, Ph.D., Capricor’s CEO.
The study is currently ongoing and will enter its fourth year.
