Edgewise Therapeutics initiates enrollment of GRAND CANYON study

Edgewise Therapeutics announced the start of enrollment of GRAND CANYON, a global pivotal study of EDG-5506 in individuals with Becker. GRAND CANYON is an expansion of the CANYON study. CANYON, which was over-enrolled, includes 39 adults and 24 adolescents. EDG-5506 is an orally administered small molecule designed to prevent contraction-induced muscle damage in dystrophinopathies including Becker and Duchenne muscular dystrophy. There are currently no approved therapies for individuals with Becker, a serious genetic, progressive neuromuscular disorder with significant unmet need.
