PepGen Inc. Discontinues DMD Programs After Trial Results

Don’t Miss TipRanks’ Half-Year Sale

The latest update is out from PepGen Inc. ( (PEPG) ).

On May 28, 2025, PepGen Inc. announced its decision to discontinue the development of its Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) programs following disappointing results from the CONNECT1-EDO51 trial, where the PGN-EDO51 treatment did not achieve target dystrophin levels. Despite the well-tolerated safety profile, the company will wind down all DMD-related research and development activities. PepGen will now focus on advancing its promising myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) program, which has shown robust target engagement and favorable safety profile in early trials. The company plans to report further data from its ongoing DM1 clinical trials in late 2025 and early 2026, potentially impacting its market positioning and stakeholder interests.

The most recent analyst rating on (PEPG) stock is a Buy with a $26.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on PepGen Inc. stock, see the PEPG Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on PEPG Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, PEPG is a Underperform.

PepGen Inc.’s overall score reflects significant financial challenges, with limited revenue and continued losses. While technical indicators are mixed, the valuation remains unattractive due to negative earnings. Recent corporate events, including promising trial results and board expansions, offer some positive momentum but are insufficient to offset the financial concerns.
