Benitec Biopharma Inc. announced positive long-term results from its Phase 1b/2a clinical trial evaluating BB-301 for the treatment of dysphagia in oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy (OPMD). The company reported that the first patient in Cohort 1 completed a 24-month post-treatment assessment, showing continued improvements in post-swallow pharyngeal residue and total dysphagic symptom burden compared to earlier timepoints. Additionally, all four patients in Cohort 1 completed the 12-month statistical follow-up period and met the pre-specified criteria for response to BB-301, demonstrating a durable response. Benitec Biopharma plans to engage with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in mid-2026 to confirm the pivotal study design and will continue to present interim clinical results at future medical conferences.
