Stoke - Earnings and steady progress.
“This morning we reported Q1 financial results and provided a few business updates. Stoke is on-track to report new data from the ongoing Phase 1/2a clinical studies of STK-001 in children and adolescents with Dravet syndrome in mid-2023. The data readout will focus on safety and seizure frequency results for up to 16 patients who received three doses of 45mg of STK-001 and there are plans to initiate a pivotal study in 2024, pending this additional data. Also, as we recently shared, Stoke received authorization to initiate a Phase 1/2 study in the UK of STK-002, an investigational new treatment for Autosomal Dominant Optic Atrophy (ADOA).”
