Tenaya Therapeutics presents interim data from MyClimb natural history study

Tenaya Therapeutics (TNYA) announced the presentation of interim data from its ongoing MyClimb natural history study of pediatric participants with MYBPC3-associated hypertrophic cardiomyopathy at the European Society of Cardiology Congress. “Data obtained from MyClimb offer actionable information for predicting those severe MYBPC3-associated HCM pediatric patients who may be at higher risk of death or severe complications, such as life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias, cardiovascular-related hospitalizations, heart failure, sudden cardiac arrest, and/or heart transplant,” said Whit Tingley, M.D., Ph.D., Tenaya’s Chief Medical Officer. “Among the new observations, we believe certain genetic profiles or higher left ventricular mass index can identify those children who are at substantially greater risk of serious potential complications, relatively rapid progression and poor long-term outcomes. These new insights into predictive risk factors can inform clinicians’ thinking on risk stratification and interventions and offer important clues for endpoints and eligibility criteria as we consider advancing genetic medicines such as TN-201 gene therapy in clinical trials for pediatric patients where there is high unmet need.”
