PTC Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:PTCT) will host a webinar in its deep dive series discussing the PTC518 Huntington disease (HD) program on Thursday, April 15 at 9 a.m. E.T.

The Huntington Disease Deep Dive will provide an overview of PTC's splicing platform and the identification of molecules that have selectivity and specificity. PTC will highlight its Huntington program and the potential advantages of an orally bioavailable compound. PTC will discuss in detail the splicing modifier, PTC518, that is in an ongoing Phase 1 clinical trial. In preclinical studies, PTC518 has demonstrated broad biodistribution that uniformly reaches all regions of the brain and periphery and has shown reduction in Huntingtin protein (HTT) levels with a 1:1 correlation between blood and brain. PTC will also present preliminary results from the Phase 1 study of PTC518.
