Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
On February 24, 2025, Entrada Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release titled “Entrada Therapeutics Announces FDA Removal of Clinical Hold on ENTR-601-44.” A copy of the press release is furnished hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
The information in this Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, including the accompanying Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liability of such section, nor shall such information be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, regardless of the general incorporation language of such filing, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
On February 24, 2025, the Company announced that the United States Food and Drug Administration has lifted the clinical hold on ENTR-601-44 and provided authorization for a Phase 1b multiple ascending dose clinical study of ENTR-601-44 for the potential treatment of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (“DMD”) in non-ambulatory and ambulatory adult patients with a confirmed mutation in the DMD gene amenable to exon 44 skipping. ENTR-601-44 is Entrada’s lead product candidate within its Duchenne franchise and is being developed for the potential treatment of individuals with DMD who are exon 44 skipping amenable.
The Phase 1b study’s primary objective is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and effectiveness of ENTR-601-44 in non-ambulatory and ambulatory adult patients with DMD who are exon 44 skipping amenable. The global ELEVATE-44 program, which includes the ELEVATE-44-102 study in the U.S. and ELEVATE-44-201 outside of the U.S., will cover a broad population of patients with DMD and support evaluation of ENTR-601-44 in patients with both early and advanced disease. The Company plans to initiate study enrollment in the first half of 2026, which would enable a seamless transition into an open label extension study.
