.After BioMarin carried out a spring clean of its own pipeline in April, the company has actually determined that it likewise needs to have to unload a preclinical gene therapy for an ailment that leads to soul muscles to thicken.The treatment, called BMN 293, was actually being developed for myosin-binding protein C3 (MYBPC3) hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. The problem could be addressed using beta blocker drugs, but BioMarin had set out to treat the symptomatic heart disease using only a single dose.The company discussed ( PDF) preclinical information from BMN 293 at an R&D Time in September 2023, where it pointed out that the applicant had actually displayed a functional renovation in MYBPC3 in mice.
