Stoke Therapeutics Inc (STOK) Finansal

Stoke Therapeutics, Inc. is a biotechnology company, which engages in the research and development of treatments for genetic diseases. The company is headquartered in Bedford, Massachusetts and currently employs 170 full-time employees. The company went IPO on 2019-06-19. The Company, through its proprietary Targeted Augmentation of Nuclear Gene Output (TANGO) approach, is engaged in developing antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) to selectively restore protein levels. Its first compound, zorevunersen (STK-002), is in clinical testing for the treatment of Dravet syndrome, a severe and progressive genetic epilepsy. TANGO aims to restore missing proteins by increasing or stoking protein output from healthy genes, thus compensating for the non-functioning copy of the gene. The firm is pursuing the development of STK-002 for the treatment of autosomal dominant optic atrophy (ADOA), the most common inherited optic nerve disorder. The Company’s initial focus is haploinsufficiency and diseases of the central nervous system and the eye.
